Python is a bell pepper variety bred by Russian breeders and approved for use in 2008. Outwardly, the hybrid looks like a hot pepper, but in fact it is a sweet variety that has nothing to do with a bitter vegetable.

Description of the variety

Among the advantages of the Python variety, it should be noted its high yield and good taste, which also has a bright aroma. The variety is planted in greenhouses, in addition, it is allowed to grow on balconies, loggias or even on a windowsill in an apartment, while the fruiting period increases. Among the minuses, only an external similarity with hot hot peppers is noted, and therefore confusion may arise when using both types in different dishes.

Characteristics of the appearance of plants and fruits

The bush has an average vigor of growth, its height reaches 140 cm, has medium dark green leaves and fruits that develop in a drooping position.

The peppers are medium in size, their length is 25-27 cm, and the shape is proboscis, probably for such an unusual appearance this variety got its “snake” name. Fruit weight is about 60 g, in technical ripeness their skin is green, but the closer to biological maturity, the more it turns red.

The walls are rather thin - about 3 mm, each pepper has two chambers inside. Another advantage of the fruits is their long shelf life, which can reach several weeks.

Purpose and taste

Consumers note the excellent taste of the Python variety; this taste reveals even more the spicy, pronounced aroma of the vegetable. This feature allows you to use pepper as a seasoning (for this, the fruits are ground and dried), as well as to prepare savory sauces and dressings from it. Python peppers can be cut into a fresh vitamin salad and can be pickled or canned. These vegetables also tolerate freezing well.

Ripening terms

From the beginning of germination to the formation of the first fruits, 115-125 days pass, which is typical for peppers with a medium early ripening period. Fruiting usually occurs in July-August.

Yield

The variety has a high yield and can produce an average of 3.8 kg of vegetables per square meter.

Landing scheme

Seeds are sown at the end of February. Young bushes are transplanted to the site at the end of May. A mixture of garden soil, ash, humus, peat and sand is suitable for growing seedlings. Before sowing, the planting material should be treated in a solution of potassium permanganate, and then held in a growth stimulator. It is recommended to sow the seeds in advance in separate cups or peat tablets, since young seedlings are very fragile and can be easily damaged when diving. Sowing is done to a depth of about 1 cm.

Next, the container is covered with a film and removed to a warm place. When sprouts appear, the film can be removed and the container placed in the light. Further, it is important to maintain a 12-15 hour light regime. If at the same time there is not enough daylight, then artificial lighting should be used.

If sowing was carried out in a common container, then when two leaves appear, a pick should be made. About 10 days before transplanting the seedlings to the site, begin to harden them, that is, take them out to the loggia, and increase the time spent in the fresh air every day. Choose a sunny area for transplanting.Plant the plants according to the 40x60 cm pattern, that is, three plants per square meter.

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

Further care is daily watering. To do this, use settled warm water, and moisten the garden in the morning or evening, when the sun is not baking as well. When the seedlings take root, the soil will need to be loosened after each watering. The Python variety is unpretentious in maintenance, so if irrigation is not regular, then this will practically not affect its development and productivity, but to guarantee it is still worth adhering to the irrigation regime.

Bushes need fertilizers 3-4 times per season. Use complex mineral formulas containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus as additional nutrition. And also when leaving, pay special attention to the formation of the bush: remove all side shoots and leaves before the first fork.

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.

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 Python variety is genetically resistant to the tobacco mosaic virus, which often infects bell pepper bushes. And also the variety is resistant to root rot and is tolerant to powdery mildew and ascochitosis, that is, the plant can be affected by these ailments, but this will hardly affect its condition and yield.

To prevent the bushes from being overpowered by slugs, aphids and ticks, keep the area clean, avoid overflows, remove fallen dead leaves in time, regularly inspect bushes and foliage for the presence of parasites and their larvae.

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.
