Pepper Temp

Experienced gardeners and farmers prefer to grow hybrid sweet peppers because they produce high yields and require less attention than varietal varieties. A striking representative of the line of hybrids is the early ripe pepper Temp of domestic selection.

Pepper Temp was bred at the breeding station. N.N. Timofeeva in 2005. The authors of the hybrid are scientists Avdeeva A.A. and Monakhos G.F. It is recommended to grow the vegetable in greenhouses, however, in the southern regions, pepper grows productively in garden beds. The culture has been zoned in many regions of Russia - from Central to northern and Volgo-Vyatka.

An early ripe vegetable is a medium-sized plant, characterized by semi-sprawling branches, abundant thickening of bright green leaves, a developed root system and a female flowering type. In favorable conditions, the bush grows up to 60-70, sometimes up to 90 cm in height. On the bushes, 8-12 lined peppers ripen, which grow in a drooping position.

Sweet pepper Temp is characterized by good commercial qualities. The variety belongs to the class of large-fruited. On average, fruits weighing 150 grams ripen on the bushes. Vegetables have a neat, prismatic or conical shape. The peel of fruits is of medium density (5-7 mm), shiny, smooth, with barely noticeable ribs. At the stage of technical maturity, the pepper has a light green color, and as it ripens, it is evenly covered with a bright red tone.

The harvested crop lends itself to transportation without loss of marketable qualities, and also has a long keeping quality. In addition, you can remove the fruits at the stage of technical ripeness, which ripen perfectly in a dark place at room temperature.

Pepper Temp stands out among its congeners for its excellent taste. Pepper pulp has a fleshy, dense, juicy texture with a pronounced crunch. The vegetable has a harmonious taste - sweetish, perfectly combined with a summer, refreshing aroma. There are 3-4 seed chambers inside the fruit. It should be noted that there is no bitterness, pungency, wateriness in the taste.

The advantage of the variety is its universal purpose - peppers are eaten fresh, added to cold and hot dishes, stuffed, pickled, canned, frozen.

Temp is a representative of the class of early maturing species. The growing season lasts only 85-95 days. The fruits ripen quite amicably. You can taste crispy peppers already in July. The massive harvest takes place in the second half of July - mid-August.

Due to the fact that the culture is resistant to cold and sharp temperature fluctuations, the ovaries may appear at a later date, because the pepper will ripen even in adverse weather conditions.

The crop yields are high. On average, 8.6 kg of vegetables can be harvested from 1 m2. It is worth noting that the yield in the garden is much less than in greenhouse conditions. The maximum figure in the greenhouse is fixed at around 10 kg. It is recommended to harvest the fruits 2-3 times a week.

The plant needs not only basic care, but also the correct positioning in the garden, observing the density.It is recommended to plant 4-5 pepper bushes per 1 m2, which will provide the plant with air, light and heat. The 50x70 cm scheme is considered optimal for planting.

Peppers are grown mainly in seedlings. In the greenhouse, planting is carried out in the first half of May, and on the garden bed - at the end of May, beginning of June. The main thing is that at this time the air and the soil are warmed up enough, and return spring frosts are left behind. When planting, the neck of the plant is not greatly deepened, as this can lead to rotting.

In regions with cool spring-summer nights, you can use a film cover after planting seedlings in open ground, which will help the plant quickly adapt to new growing conditions. The best crop precursors are legumes, onions, carrots, and cabbage.

Intensive plant farming includes the following activities: watering with settled water (2-3 times a week), top dressing (three times during the growing season), loosening the soil after watering, mulching that protects from cold weather, thinning the bushes if necessary, preventing viruses and insect attacks.

It is important that the soil is not too wet, it is more comfortable for the plant to grow in dry soil than where there is dampness and stagnant moisture. In addition, the plants are watered gently under the root, without falling on the leaves.

It is comfortable to grow a vegetable on light, loose, clean, moderately moist, fertile and breathable soils with neutral acidity.

When planning the planting of Temp sweet pepper in the open field, it is better to choose a place on a small hill, where there is enough light, heat, sun, and there is also protection from drafts.

Strong immunity ensures plant resistance to many diseases - top rot, tobacco mosaic virus. Vegetable culture is tolerant to verticillosis. Violation of the rules of care can provoke diseases such as stolbur, fusarium wilting or wet rot.
