Breeding experts develop different varieties of sweet peppers every year. Some of them are resistant to negative environmental factors and many diseases. One of these varieties is the Bogatyr pepper. That is why its yield is always of the highest quality.

Pepper Bogatyr

Characteristics of the variety

The best breeders from Moldova worked on the development of the Bogatyr bell pepper variety. 1986 is considered the year of breeding of this species. In 1987 it was registered and entered into the State Register of the Russian Federation.

Suitable for growing in all regions of the country, as it has the characteristics of resistance to changes in temperature and humidity. In the southern part of the country, it is preferable to grow Bogatyr sweet pepper in open field conditions. In other regions, the best yields are observed when planted in greenhouse conditions.

Description of the bush

The Bogatyr pepper variety belongs to mid-season crops. The growing season, from the moment of the first shoots to the onset of technical maturity, lasts 120 days. Biological ripeness is observed after a period of 135 days.

If you use the seeds of the Aelita company, then the height of the bush will be 50 cm. Seeds from the agricultural firm Siberian planting materials give bushes up to 40 cm. The bushes have a large number of dark green leaves. There is a slight wrinkling on the surface of each leaf. Since the bushes are characterized by increased spreading, they should be placed at a distance of 40 cm from each other and must be tied up, otherwise the bushes may break. Yield indicators are high: about 50 centners of high quality fruits can be harvested from 1 hectare.

Description of the fetus

Characteristics of the fruit of the Bogatyr sweet pepper variety:

• the shape of the fruit is conical;
• average tuberosity is observed on the surface of the fruit;
• the weight of an individual fruit, on average, is 220 g;
• color, at the moment of technical ripeness, green, and at biological maturity - red;
• inside there are 4 chambers for storing seeds.

The taste is rich, rather sweet. The sugar level is 8.7%. No bitterness or acidity is observed. The description indicates that all fruits of this variety have a large amount of vitamin C, therefore, their use will significantly increase the human immune system. Bulgarian pepper Bogatyr belongs to versatile crops that are suitable for fresh consumption, for making salads or preservation.

Seed preparation

The seeds should be used 2 years of age. It is this planting material that has the best germination and yield characteristics. Selected seeds must be placed in a manganese solution in order to carry out the process of seed disinfection. After that, they need to be placed in a drug called Epin. It is designed to stimulate growth and germination. The optimal time for disinfection and growth stimulation is 30-40 minutes.

After completing all the procedures, the seeds need to germinate.To do this, you can use 1 of the methods below.

1. Place the treated seeds on a piece of gauze and a plastic bag. Now the resulting lump should be put in a warm place (the temperature of which is 27 ° C) for a week. Spray the seeds every 2 days with warm water to help them germinate faster.
2. Fill the container with water (the water temperature should be no more than 55 ° C). Leave the seeds in this container for about 40 minutes. Now the seeds need to be removed, wrapped in a bag and placed in the refrigerator. After a day, the seeds can be planted in the soil.

Planting seeds

All containers that will be used for planting seeds should be treated with a 5% manganese solution. To create the perfect soil for better germination, you need to mix humus, sand and garden soil in a 1: 1: 2 ratio. Planting should take place in mid-February. All containers must be filled with prepared soil to 60%. The planting depth of the seeds is 2 cm. A distance of 5 cm must be maintained between the seeds.

Now the containers need to be covered with glass to create a greenhouse effect. They are placed in a warm room (with a daytime temperature of 26 ° C and a night temperature of 14 ° C). Room humidity should be in the range of 50-60%. This will allow the seedlings to grow better outdoors.

Very large fruits

After 2 weeks, when the first shoots appear, the glass shelter can be removed. All temperature and humidity conditions must remain unchanged. Watering of the first seedlings is carried out every 3 days. It is best to use a spray bottle to avoid disrupting root development. Now you should provide the seedlings with optimal lighting. It should last for 13 hours every day. This is done to preserve the cycles of day and night. After the formation of the 4th pair of leaves, you can start transplanting into open ground or a greenhouse.

Transplanting seedlings

Seedlings of Bogatyr pepper can be transplanted to a permanent place only after its growth is 25 cm. Choose only those areas where the acidity of the soil does not exceed 7 pH. 2 weeks before transplanting, the seedlings must go through a hardening process. To do this, you need to take out the seedlings to the balcony and provide it with a temperature of 16 ° C (hardening is carried out from 2 to 4 hours a day). If you do not have a balcony, you can simply open the windows in the room. Planting seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse is carried out only after the soil warms up to a temperature of 12 ° C.

Landing scheme ::

• to make the cultivation of the culture simple, you need to adhere to a distance of 20 cm between the holes;
• a distance of 40 cm should be maintained between the rows;
• transplanting should be carried out along with the soil that was in the container - this will allow you not to disturb the root system;
• fill the hole with a small amount of earth and pour 1 liter of water, after which the hole can be filled completely and tamped a little.

Care rules

The description and characteristics of the Bogatyr sweet pepper variety indicate that this variety needs careful watering. It should be carried out with warm water (24 ° C) at intervals of 4 days and only in the morning. This will allow moisture to be stored in the ground rather than evaporating when exposed to the sun. In order to reduce the risk of crusting on the surface of the earth, you need to follow 1 rule. Water only on 1 side of the bush, and loosening on the other side. After 4 days, the reverse procedure is carried out. This condition is necessary for the root system to develop evenly.

Top dressing is carried out three times during the entire growing season.

1. 14 days after transplanting to a permanent place. It is necessary to dilute 5 mg of a superphosphate agent and 10 g of urea in 10 liters of warm water. At least 1 liter of liquid is poured into each bush. This will help the plant grow faster.
2. At the time of the formation of the ovaries. In 5 liters of water, you need to dilute 10 mg of potassium and 20 mg of superphosphate. Pour 1 liter of solution under the root of the bush again.This procedure is necessary for the uniform formation of ovaries and buds.
3. During fruiting. For 5 liters of water, there should be 20 mg of potassium and 20 mg of superphosphate. Again, 1 liter of solution is poured into the root system. This will allow the fruit to be juicy and sweet in the end.

Do not forget to cut the side shoots every 10 days, as their presence significantly reduces the level of yield. It is also important to note the mandatory presence of a garter to the support. Otherwise, the bushes may break.

Fight against parasites and diseases

Quite often, on the bushes of the Bulgarian pepper variety Bogatyr, you can find diseases such as black leg or septoria. It is almost impossible to get rid of the black leg. You just have to remove the diseased plant. It is better to carry out preventive measures, which consist in treating the seeds with a manganese solution. You can get rid of septoria by spraying the bushes with a 1% solution of copper sulfate.

Pests include aphids, spider mites and slugs. You can get rid of each parasite with the help of special tools.

1. Aphids will help to destroy the spraying of the bushes with a solution of Karbofos (about 10 mg of the drug should be diluted in 10 liters of water).
2. A folk method will help get rid of slugs - a tincture of red cayenne pepper (1 tablespoon of spice should fall on 1 liter of water). 1 bush should take about 0.5 liters of the drug.
3. In the fight against spider mites, a tincture of onion peel or garlic will help (dilute 100 ml of ground garlic and 100 ml of ground onion in a liter of water).

Conclusion

Sweet pepper Bogatyr has excellent taste that will appeal to everyone who decides to grow it in their summer cottage. If you carefully follow the rules of cultivation and care for the plantations, you will eventually be able to harvest a large and healthy crop.
