Secrets of cultivation and care
The seedling method of planting, which has become traditional for many summer residents, is also appropriate when growing a hybrid variety. The Belozerka variety ripens within 115 days after sowing the seeds in the ground.
Before planting seeds for seedlings, they should be soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for half an hour. This simple procedure will help disinfect pepper seeds, which will have a positive effect on their germination and disease resistance.
Another trick is to plant seeds in separate pots. With this method of planting, the plants will not need to be pricked, which will significantly reduce the ripening time.
To increase the yield of the variety, plants should be fertilized in a timely manner. For the first time, fertilizers are applied to the soil on which sweet bell peppers grow immediately after two true leaves appear on the bush. The second feeding is carried out immediately before planting bell pepper seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse.
Plant care includes the following components:
- timely and regular watering;
- fertilization;
- loosening the soil and hilling the bush;
- weeding.
Due to the high resistance of the hybrid variety to diseases and pests, special treatment with pesticides is not required.
After harvesting, the fruits are stored for quite a long time. In cooking, the fruits can be used for pickling, canning, stuffing and freezing.
Belozerka pepper is an excellent solution for farming and agro-industrial enterprises.The high yield of this variety of bell pepper, its unpretentiousness in cultivation, and excellent taste make it not only a very popular, but also a very profitable vegetable.
