The yellow cockatoo is a yellow pepper variety bred by Russian breeders in 2015. This is the closest relative of the famous Kakadu variety, which differs from it only in shape and color. Consider all the features of the agricultural technology of the presented culture.

Description of the variety

It is a high-yielding variety that can be cultivated both outdoors and in a greenhouse. The fruits are distinguished by high marketability, strong immunity, excellent taste, but the plant also has a number of disadvantages, for example, a tendency to overgrow.

Characteristics of the appearance of plants and fruits

The bush of the presented variety is characterized by strong growth and reaches a height of 150 cm. It is semi-spreading in appearance, has large dark green wrinkled leaves and drooping large fruits of an elongated shape.

The mass of each pepper is about 180 g. In technical ripeness, the color of the glossy skin is dark green, in biological ripeness it is yellow. The walls are dense, 7 mm thick, there are 3-4 chambers inside.

Purpose and taste

Consumers note the very good taste of the fruit. The manufacturer claims the universal purpose of the vegetable, however, judging by the gardeners' reviews, the yellow Kakadu variety is still not suitable for making lecho. But it will perfectly fit into a light vitamin salad, diluting it not only with piquant notes, but also giving an aesthetic and very appetizing look with its sunny appearance.

Ripening terms

Only 120-130 days after pecking the seedlings, the first peppers will appear on the bushes. Usually at this time it is already July on the street. Consequently, Kakadu yellow belongs to varieties with a medium-late ripening period.

Yield

Once again, we note the high yield of the variety: on average, 1.8-3.1 kg of vegetables can be obtained from each bush.

Landing scheme

Sowing is carried out at the end of February, young bushes can be transplanted into open ground at the end of May. It is recommended to heat the soil for seeds in the oven in advance. The seeds can be planted in separate cups or peat pots. The seeds are buried at a level of 1.5 cm, leaving a distance of 5 cm between two specimens.

When seedlings appear, the containers are placed on the sunny side, but if there is not enough lighting, then phytolamps should be used. Seedlings will feel comfortable at a temperature of + 25 ... +26 degrees. A pick is carried out when two leaves appear.

When the temperature is at least +15 degrees outside, young seedlings can be transplanted to the site. The height of the plant by this time is already about 15 cm, and the age is 55 days. Choose a well-lit garden bed for this.

It is recommended to plant bushes in the area where zucchini, onions, cucumbers previously grew. Places where nightshade were previously cultivated should be avoided. A good culture will develop in mulch sandy soil or black soil. Plant the bushes at a distance of 40x80 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

Observe the following guidelines when leaving.

  • Water the plant of the presented variety once a week in the morning with warm, settled water.When the fruits are formed, the frequency of watering can be doubled. The plant responds well to drip morning watering. Moistening should be stopped 10 days before harvest.
  • Three times a season, the culture needs feeding. The first time is two weeks after the transplant, during this period urea or bird droppings are suitable. The second time - at the stage of fruit setting, chicken manure or cow dung will also be appropriate. The third top dressing is applied when the first crop is harvested, this time chicken droppings are again relevant.
  • To obtain a high-quality harvest, remove stepchildren from the vegetable, on which it spends its strength. Form the bushes gradually. Leave three shoots, and after a couple of weeks, remove the weakest of them by tying the other two stems together with a rope.

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 agrotechnical methods that allow you to extend the term and increase the fruiting of a crop.

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 highly immune to most diseases, but it can be affected by late blight. To prevent the onset of the disease, do not plant the bushes too close to each other, destroy diseased specimens in time, use fungicides. To prevent infection with vertex rot, observe the watering regime and maintain the desired temperature. Calcium nitrate helps to protect against this ailment.

Also, the plant can become a victim of ticks or aphids. Folk remedies, for example, ash solution, as well as special chemicals, help from these pests.

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.
