Yield
Sankin pepper love a high yield level. In good seasons, an average of 5.8-6.2 kg / sq. m.
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
Pepper is considered cold-resistant and tolerates unfavorable weather conditions, but the best place to grow it is in a sunny area. When disembarking, they adhere to the 60x60 cm scheme (square-nesting scheme).
If you are purchasing seeds from a reputable manufacturer, see their description: treated seeds do not need any action to stimulate growth. Previously, any material can be disinfected by soaking in a weak solution of potassium permanganate (the liquid should be pinkish).
Seedlings usually wait 2 months. The bush grows without the appearance of side branches up to about 17-20 cm. The crown bud located between the branches is usually plucked, as otherwise it inhibits the growth of the bush and the emergence of other flowers.
Sowing for seedlings occurs in late February - early March. Transferring seedlings to open ground - in mid-June, to a greenhouse or under a film - in mid-May. Seeds planted outdoors are usually sown in early to mid June (depending on the region).
In autumn, complex, mineral and biological fertilizers, as well as peat, are introduced into the soil for good development. In the spring, all weeds are removed, and the site is re-loosened. The hybrid also responds well to mulching.
Water must be taken settled, slightly warm or at room temperature. Watering is carried out either in the morning or in the evening.
Top dressing is applied at least three times per season:
before budding;
during the flowering period;
during the formation of fruits and their color change.
Gardeners recommend alternating mineral fertilizers with solutions from humus or rotted manure.
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.
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
Hybrid Sankin love is resistant to such scourge as top rot of fruits, and in general has good immunity. However, he has his own diseases to which he is susceptible.
Blackleg. Fungal disease can be recognized by dark spots at the base of the trunk. It is transferred through the soil, therefore, in the spring, the site (or soil for seedlings) is preventively disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate. You can also water the bushes themselves with this solution. In the greenhouse, it is important to periodically ventilate and maintain an optimal humidity level.
Late blight. The disease manifests itself as brown spots on fruits and leaves. It is treated by spraying with solutions containing copper, or preparations such as "Fitosporin".
Phytoplasmosis. He is a stolbur - it is transferred through cicadas, it is found in the wilting of a plant. Different parts of the plant turn yellow, curl, deform in volume and die off. It is believed that it does not respond to treatment, so the affected plant is destroyed (along with the roots) by burning (away from the site).
Some gardeners recommend not using or using at a minimum chemical preparations for growing a tasty and healthy crop, replacing them with folk, proven solutions, powders and dressings. For the prevention of many diseases, for example, a solution of milk (1 liter per bucket of water) with 10 drops of iodine or brilliant green is used.
Among the insect pests that Sankin's love is afraid of, the following can be distinguished:
aphid;
spider mite;
slugs;
thrips;
whitefly.
In the fight against them, in the first stages, spraying is used (with infusions of garlic, wormwood, onion husks, tobacco with laundry soap). Manipulations are carried out in two approaches with an interval of a week. As a preventive measure, plants (dill, marigolds and others) can be planted around the perimeter of the garden, whose smell scares off pests.
Root-gnawing (wireworms, beetles, gall nematodes) often come out on peppers. From them prophylactically loosen the ground, pouring boiling water in case of infection.
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.
