Growing Features
To get a good harvest, you need to take into account all the subtleties of the variety when planning agricultural work. The main feature of Gogoshara peppers is considered easy pollinability. To get a clean taste, you need to plant this variety away from other types of peppers.
The timing
The optimal growing time for each region will be different, depending on the climate. Gogoshara peppers are mid-season varieties, at home they should spend about 90 days. Experienced vegetable growers recommend sowing seeds for seedlings 10-15 days earlier than other varieties of peppers. The best time to work is the end of February or the first of March.
Transplant seedlings into the ground if the soil is warmed up to +16 degrees. Dates from approximately mid-May to June. You can plant seedlings in a greenhouse or open ground.
Readiness of seedlings can be determined by appearance:
- the stalk became dense, grew to 10 cm;
- 4 real sheets appeared;
- the root system is quite developed.
Under such conditions, seedlings successfully adapt to a new place and take root well.
Land preparation
For seedlings, the soil must be fertile, the number of fruits and their taste depend on this. The earth mixture can be bought at the store, but it is better to cook it yourself.
To do this, take meadow land, compost from cow manure, river sand in the proportions of 3: 3: 3. Manure and land will provide good fertility, and sand reliable drainage. Mix the ingredients and pour into prepared containers.
For Gogoshara pepper ordinary common containers will not work. Its root system is very sensitive, does not tolerate transplants. With damage to the roots, the plant stops growing. Better take individual plastic pallets or peat pots.
Before planting seedlings, the soil is decontaminated to get rid of bacteria. There are several ways to do this:
- steaming;
- potassium permanganate solution;
- baking in the oven.
For steaming, pour boiling water over the ground, let it cool. Apply potassium permanganate solution a day before sowing. Take a grain of potassium permanganate, dissolve in warm water until a saturated solution is obtained. Pour them the earth, leave the water to drain.
For calcination, sprinkle soil on a baking sheet with a height of not more than 10 cm. Heat for 20 minutes at a temperature of +30 degrees. Cool the ground, you can sow the seeds.
Seed preparation and sowing
Before planting, you need to calibrate, select good quality seeds. Take 1 liter of water, dissolve 1 large spoon of salt in it. Dip the pepper seeds in the water, shake. Good, full-fledged seeds that will produce high-quality seedlings will go down. Empty grains will remain floating. They are poured with water, use the remaining at the bottom.
Seeds must be pickled before sowing. This procedure will relieve the causative agents of diseases, will stimulate the physiological processes necessary for growth.
Gogoshara pepper seed preparation algorithm:
- Seeds are placed for 30 minutes in a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
- Put the seeds on paper towels for 10 minutes.
- In a saucer, put 2 layers of cotton cloth or gauze, pour water, put pepper seeds there.
- After 2 days, the shell of the grains will crack, they can be planted in the ground. Such seeds can no longer be stored.
- In the prepared soil, make a groove with a pencil 2 cm deep. Plant the seeds at a distance of 5 cm from each other, sprinkle with earth.
- Place the containers with seedlings in a well-lit place, maintain the optimum temperature for growing from +24 to +26 degrees.
- Daylight hours can be extended if desired with a seedling lamp.
Experts do not recommend moving containers with seedlings to brighter places. It is better to create a greenhouse effect by putting glass on top or pulling a film. When the first shoots appear, the need for a greenhouse disappears.
Pickling seedlings and care
For good root development and preventing excessive stretching of the plant, you need to pick. It is made after the appearance of 3 sheets. Carefully pry the sprout together with an earthen lump and transfer to a previously prepared separate container with fertile soil.
After transplanting, young pepper may be drooping, as the plant is stressed. To make it easier to get used to the new environment, place containers with seedlings at partial shade. After a week, the normal state will be restored.
Watering
In the first month of growth, watering should be minimal. During this period, pepper seedlings are especially vulnerable to the black leg fungal pathology. This dangerous disease per day can destroy all the sprouts. The reasons are low temperature, waterlogged soil.
For seedlings, minimal root watering is sufficient. The best time would be early morning and evening. Water must be well-maintained, warm. Leaves must remain dry. With the growth of the plant, a set of green mass, the risk of this disease disappears, you can water more often, three times a week.
Transplanting seedlings into the ground
2 weeks before transplanting into open ground, seedlings need to be tempered. To do this, take containers with sprouts to fresh air for a while or open windows. Daily amount of time for such procedures should increase.
When the temperature day and night will keep + 16 degrees, the time of night frosts will pass, it will be possible to plant seedlings in open ground. m should accommodate no more than 5-6 plants. Between the rows, make a distance of 60 cm.
Temperature and lighting
Heat-loving peppers grow well at temperatures from +24 to +26 degrees. With a decrease in these indicators, plant growth slows down, flowers and ovaries may fall.
Gogoshara peppers are very demanding on lighting. In sunny summer, their productivity rises, and when it is cloudy, it decreases. Vegetable growers do not recommend planting them in the shade of sprawling trees.
Gogoshara Pepper Care in the Open Field
Summer residents receive high yields of peppers if they comply with basic agricultural regulations.
Watering and feeding
To get a rich harvest, peppers need not only watering, but also irrigation. Constant watering contributes to the development of a strong root system, good plant growth, fruit formation.
After transplanting into the ground, water the peppers every 10 days. For each plant you need to spend up to 3 liters of water. Watering methods - sprinkling and drip irrigation.
In hot weather, the leaves lose moisture, decreases the influx of nutrients to them. They wither and wither. Low humidity and high air temperature provoke shedding of flowers and the end of fruiting.
Sprinkling can correct the situation. This increases the air humidity around the plant to 70%, the soil cools, the elasticity of the leaves is restored, the activity of all life processes is resumed.
Twice during the summer, plants are fed with liquid fertilizers. The most effective top dressing:
- on bird droppings;
- on nettles.
Fertilizers on bird droppings
To make fertilizer on bird droppings, take half a bucket of dry or liquid manure. Pour in water and mix. Close well from above so that nitrogen does not evaporate, put in a sunny place. Stir the contents daily for better fermentation.
After a week, dressing is ready. It must be bred so as not to burn the roots of plants. Take 10 liters of concentrated fertilizer from bird droppings per 10 liters of water. After stirring, water under the root. For one bush you need 2 liters of fertilizer at a time.
Nettle Fertilizer
To make feeding on nettles in a barrel, lay the plant in half the volume of the tank. Add water to the top, close the lid. Put in a sunny, calm place. To release carbon dioxide, mix the contents every day.
After 10 days, the fertilizer is fully prepared. Immediately before use, it must be diluted with water in a proportion of 1:10. Under each bush, 2 liters of solution is required.
Liquid fertilizers are convenient to use in the country. They are easy to cook on their own, can be used as necessary for a long time.
Hilling and loosening the soil
After transplanting into the open ground, plants need to be loosened periodically. It saturates the earth with oxygen, contributes to the destruction of weeds. Loosening is carried out in row-spacings, mulching is used for the root zone. The roots of this plant are too close to the surface when loosening they can be damaged.
The first weeding is carried out 2 weeks after planting in open ground, the second must be done after another 2 weeks. Together with her carry out the hilling. It is necessary for the formation of additional shoots at the roots. This increases the yield of the plant. Further weeding is done if necessary. During loosening, it is important not to destroy the hill created during earthing up.
Shrub formation and care
As the pepper bush develops, growth and fruit setting need to be regulated. The more ovaries will form on the plant, the less peppers will be by weight. If the summer resident wants to grow large fruits, then you need to trim the extra ovary. In the first half of August, it is recommended to cut off all the flowers from peppers, because the harvest from them will not have time to ripen before the onset of cold weather.
If in July the air temperature rises above 30 degrees, then the flowers of Gogoshara peppers will become sterile. Fruits will not form. To avoid this situation, cover the beds with plants with white agrofibre (spanbond). This will obscure and cool the peppers.
Harvesting and storage
The first fruits ripen by mid-July. It is better to remove them so that they do not delay the ovary of the following peppers. It is better to store harvested vegetables in a cool, dry place.
If you need to transport Gogoshary peppers over long distances, for this purpose the maturity period is postponed. In this case, remove the unripe green fruits, put them in cardboard boxes with holes for air movement. After a few weeks, the fruits will acquire the yellow or red hues characteristic of the variety.
Disease and Pest Prevention
To get a good crop of peppers, you need to carry out preventive work against diseases and pests:
- Spotted wilt. To prevent the cultivation of resistant varieties, destroy weeds that contribute to the spread of the disease.
- Cucumber mosaic. For prevention, disinfect the seeds before planting, weed, use insecticides.
- Phytoplasmosis. For safety, remove the affected bush from the garden, treat with an insecticide.
- Bacterial spotting. For prevention, observe crop rotation, treat with copper-based fungicides.
- Aphid. For destruction, treat with preparations "Karate", "Karbofos".
- Spider mite. To combat the pest, spray the funds "Actellik", "Fufanron."
- Slug. Sprinkle the soil with dry lime or mustard powder.
