Pepper Gorospel

Gorospel is a bell pepper variety bred by Russian breeders and approved for use in 2020. Despite the fact that the hybrid has appeared recently, many summer residents have already tried it. Based on their first experience, we will share information about the new variety.

Gorospel is a sweet bell pepper commonly grown outdoors. It has a high yield, strong immunity to diseases, and its fruits are highly valued for their excellent taste, large size, excellent marketability and good transportability. In addition, the hybrid is not too picky about care, but it is a vigorous variety, so the shoots need a garter.

As already mentioned, the bush is distinguished by its great vigor of growth, it is semi-spreading in shape and has dark green slightly wrinkled leaves. Fruits tilt down during development, they are large and reach 15.5 cm in length, and the weight can exceed 300 g. Peppers are covered with yellow glossy fine-ribbed skin of medium thickness, have three chambers.

Consumers note the juicy, delicate, pleasant taste of the fruit. If you add it to a light vitamin salad, then it will not only add spicy notes to the dish, but also decorate it with its sunny coloring. This pepper will perfectly complement a hot dish. Dense walls 8-10 mm thick allow stuffing fruits. A vegetable is suitable for pickling and canning, and if the harvest is too rich, it can be frozen.

This is a variety with an early ripening period: the first fruits can be enjoyed as early as 95-110 days after germination.

The variety is characterized by a high yield. So, from one square meter, a hardworking gardener can get an average of 10.2 kg of vegetables.

The optimal time for sowing is late March or early April, more specific dates depend on the climatic conditions where the plant will be cultivated. First, the seeds should be germinated, for this they are placed in a damp bag, usually 7 days are enough for germination. Then they are buried in a substrate enriched with useful substances and covered with a film. At a temperature of + 25 ... 28 degrees, the first shoots will appear in 10-15 days. The pick is carried out when the first leaves are formed.

About a week before transplanting the shoots to the summer cottage, you can start hardening them. To do this, put the cups with bushes on the windowsill, and open the window, increase the time the sprouts stay in the fresh air every day.

For planting seedlings, give preference to sunny areas. Experienced summer residents recommend adding a layer of mulch to the ridge in advance - this will save the gardener from further regular loosening and weeding. Plant young bushes in a 60-70 cm pattern between rows and 30-35 cm in a row.

Further care consists in watering and feeding. The plant is watered 1-3 times a week, depending on the weather. In this case, it is important that the soil remains moist at a depth of 4-5 cm.The crop needs fertilization 1 to 3 times per season. To do this, before the flowering stage, organic matter (nitrate, humates) is used, and after the flowers appear, dressings with a high content of phosphorus and potassium are used, for example, superphosphates or potassium sulfate. Do not forget to tie the stem to the support, and in the absence of mulch, regularly loosen and weed the garden bed.

The presented variety is almost not affected by the tobacco mosaic virus and is tolerant to verticillary wilt, that is, in rare cases, it can get sick with this ailment, but this will hardly affect its development and harvest. However, Gorospel can become a victim of late blight. Bordeaux mixture, Fundazol, Barrier help with this disease.

The variety is not insured against insects. If the plant is affected by aphids, use the preparations "Aktara" or "Operkot", "Akarin" or "Actellic" will help against ticks, and, for example, "Antislice" or "Ulicid" will protect against slugs.
