There are three key areas in the direction of vegetable breeding: yield, fruit quality, endurance. Agapovsky pepper impresses with its huge, powerful fruits.

Description of the variety

The Agapovsky variety is a large-fruited fruitful pepper. The plant is of medium size. Relatively undemanding, grown throughout Russia. Included in the State Register in 1995, brought out by the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing, in the Moscow region.

Characteristics of the appearance of plants and fruits

The bush is harvested, of medium height, about 60-100 cm - the height depends on the growing method. In the open field, the plants grow more compact; in greenhouses, peppers can reach 1 meter. The foliage is high, the leaves are dark green, large. Ripening fruits look down.

The fruits are large, up to 120 grams, of a beautiful prismatic shape, with powerful shoulders. Ribs shallow but noticeable. The color of the fruit at the stage of technical ripeness is dark green. In biological ripeness, the fruits are dense red, lacquered. The walls are thick, 5-7 mm, 3-4 seed chambers are inside. The skin is dense, keeping quality is excellent.

Purpose and taste

Agapovsky peppers have a good taste, with a bright, pungent aroma. The purpose is universal. For dietary salads, it is strong, but for other dishes it is good: salads, stews, snacks, soups, lecho. Very nice stuffed. Suitable for all types of blanks for the winter, freezing, drying. Can be used to make paprika.

Ripening terms

Agapovsky pepper - early ripening, ripens 3-4 months (99-120 days) after germination. Early maturing varieties are traditionally recommended for growing in any regions of the Russian Federation, they fit well into the short summer of the Urals, Siberia or the Far East.

Yield

The yield is excellent, from 1 sq. m receive up to 9.5-10.3 kg. This is at the level of the best varieties. And some varieties are even ahead of the standards. The output of marketable products is very good - 97-98%.

Landing scheme

Agapovsky peppers are quite compact. For 1 sq. m 3-4 plants are planted. Between plants - 50 cm, in row spacing - 50-80 cm.

To get a large and tasty harvest of pepper, you need to take care of the seedlings in advance. When growing pepper seedlings, you need to correctly determine the sowing time, pre-sowing seed treatment, prepare the necessary container and soil.

Growing and care

The originator recommends growing plants in greenhouses. The variety is a typical representative of its culture, with its rather high requirements for agricultural technology.

One of the most important care items is watering. Peppers need sensitive watering, a lack of moisture can greatly affect the yield and quality of the fruit. The need for moisture varies greatly with the age of the plants.

Before the start of fruit formation, peppers drink no more than 10% of all the moisture they consume during the season. Therefore, most gardeners water the peppers using the "warm sprinkler" method. This solves two problems at once: moderation in moisture intake, air humidification.

The formation of ovaries strongly depends on the humidity of the air. Peppers are quite demanding on air quality, because they come from tropical regions.Desired humidity is not less than 70%. At the same time, the humidity should not be stagnant; constant moisture and air exchange is needed.

From the beginning of the appearance of the first buds to the formation of small fruitlets - the most important period. It lasts about 1.5-2 months. Flaws during this period will most of all affect the future harvest.

You also need to consider the weather. On hot days, peppers may need 1-2 watering per day, if it is dry, but relatively cool weather is watered 3-4 times a week, closer to autumn watering can be stopped altogether.

Soil features also affect watering. Clay soils are watered a little less often, loam and sandy loam are watered even when the moisture content drops to 70% at a depth of 30 cm.

The evenness of watering is very important, plants can react equally badly to excess moisture and lack. In the first case, the roots begin to choke, they do not have enough air, the growth of peppers slows down. Watering with cold water has the same effect. Especially if the air temperature is above + 30 ° С.

The simplest growing scheme (without supplementary lighting, in conditions of lack of space and time).

  1. Seeds of the Agapovsky variety are planted for seedlings in late February - early March.
  2. Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in potassium permanganate for 2 hours.
  3. Picking into separate containers - when the first real leaves appear.
  4. Transfer to open ground at the end of May.
  5. Regular watering at the root, followed by loosening of the soil.
  6. Up to 4 dressings per season with complex mineral fertilizer for vegetables.

Treatments for pests and diseases - as needed. Instead of mineral fertilizers, you can use organic matter: a solution of poultry droppings, an infusion on banana skins, an ash solution.

To harvest a tasty and rich harvest of pepper, you need to comply with all the conditions of agricultural technology, and proper care begins with planting plants. Before planting pepper in open ground, it should be prepared. It is also important to take care of the seedlings and planting space in advance.

One of the most important conditions for growing healthy and strong peppers is correct and timely watering, which is necessary for active growth, rapid rooting and good fruiting of plants in a greenhouse or open field. The soil under it should not dry out. This can be achieved by following the basic recommendations. First of all, you should be guided by the weather. In addition, the phase of development of the plants is important, as well as the way the peppers are grown - in a greenhouse or in the open field.
Although pepper has a tree-like stem structure, it still needs additional support. If the peppers are not tied up, the plants will begin to lean to the ground under the weight of ripening fruits, the stem may break. Low-growing varieties, as a rule, do not need a garter. But for tall and hybrid varieties, it is necessary.
Every summer resident who decides to grow pepper on his site must learn how to form it correctly. The formation of pepper is one of the simplest and most effective agricultural techniques that allow you to extend the term and increase the fruiting of a crop.

Soil requirements

The best soil for pepper is loose, water and moisture permeable, quickly drying, nutritious. Excess nitrogen is undesirable. Chlorine fertilizers should be avoided. Acidity - 6.0-7.0. Soil mixture for seedlings: sod land after legumes or pumpkin seeds, humus, rotted sawdust (2: 1: 1). You can add a little hydrogel, it perfectly equalizes the moisture content of the soil, there is less risk of underfilling or overflowing peppers.

For good growth of pepper bushes and active fruiting, you need to regularly apply mineral and organic fertilizing to the soil.It is necessary not only to choose the right formulations, but also to use them at the right stage in the development of culture. The frequency of top dressing is always individual. It depends directly on the composition of the land on your site. The poorer the soil composition, the more often you will need to feed the pepper.

Disease and pest resistance

The variety is resistant to the tobacco mosaic virus. But it can be slightly affected by apical rot.

Preventive measures.

  1. Well-considered agricultural technology, eliminating calcium deficiency in plants.
  2. Avoiding a lot of nitrogenous fertilizers - this interferes with the absorption of calcium.
  3. Check the amount of potassium and magnesium. Excess and deficiency alike make the walls of the fruit fragile and prone to disease.
  4. Gentle loosening. Peppers have a superficial root system, deep loosening damages the roots.
  5. Smooth moisture intake, without periods of pronounced dryness or moisture. If there is no time to follow the watering, the soil is slightly loosened and mulched with dry humus or sawdust.
  6. Increase the humidity at high temperatures. Avoid the combination of "hot and very dry".
  7. Plant the peppers in a fairly loose soil. Low-lying planting sites with sticky soil weaken the plant's immunity.

Vertex rot is fairly easy to treat in the early stages. Plants are watered with a solution of calcium nitrate: 2 tbsp. l. for 10 liters of water. You can add 2 tbsp to this mixture. l. potassium carbonate. After watering, 200 ml of solution is added to each plant.

In cloudy, windless dry weather, spraying is carried out with a 1% solution of calcium nitrate.

For the prevention and treatment of apical rot, you can use "Fitosporin" - treatments and watering are carried out 1 time in 14 days.

Pepper is one of the most common vegetables in home gardens. This culture is quite stable and unpretentious. However, under certain conditions, this plant can suffer from infections and harmful insects. Before treating peppers for diseases or pests, you need to find out the cause of the problem, otherwise the treatment may be ineffective.

Review overview

At first glance, the variety seems luxurious, which means it is too demanding. No, practitioners note that the seeds germinate well, the seedlings are vigorous, the plants are tenacious. The Agapovsky variety grows better in a greenhouse and really amazes: lush, healthy plants. The fruits are harvested from late June to late September. The peppers themselves are fleshy, bright, rich in taste. The variety grows well in open ground, although the yield and dimensions of the bush are slightly smaller. This variety is worth considering for anyone looking for a spicy, real Bulgarian pepper with a distinctive aroma and excellent yield.
