Features of cultivation
The agricultural technology for growing the Regor hybrid is standard. To get a good harvest, you need to regularly water and feed the plants. The bushes must be tied up, since the fruits grow large and the trunk may not stand without support.
When and how to plant seedlings
Regor pepper seeds should be planted for seedlings from February 20 to March 10. They sprout within 1-2 weeks. To speed up the process, you must first soak them in a growth stimulator and germinate them on a damp cotton pad. Seeds are planted to a depth of 1-1.5 cm, preferably immediately in separate pots to avoid picking.
They are grown at high temperatures (25-27 degrees), first covered with film and regularly moistened with a spray bottle. During the first month they illuminate, then the total time of additional illumination is reduced so that the seedlings do not stretch. Two weeks before transplanting into the ground, the seedlings are hardened by taking them to the balcony or outside.
Transplantation into open ground
Regor pepper seedlings are transferred to open ground in the second half of May, when the temperature at night does not drop below 12-13 degrees. In this case, the soil should warm up to at least 15 degrees. The area is pre-cleaned, dug up and fertilized with complex mineral fertilizer (40 g per 1 m2) or compost, humus (5 kg per 1 m2). If there is a lot of clay in the soil, sawdust or sand should be embedded in it - up to 1 kg for the same area.
Regor peppers are transplanted using the transshipment method - for this, the pots are watered and the soil is allowed to dry for 1-2 days. The holes are formed according to a 70*35 cm pattern. As a result, 3-4 plants should be placed per 1 square meter. The depth of the hole is no more than 10 cm. The roots should be placed freely, and the root collar should remain flush with the soil surface. After planting, the plants are watered and mulch is laid (straw, sawdust, wood chips, peat).
Rules of care
Regor pepper care is standard.To get a good harvest, gardeners recommend adhering to the following rules:
- Water at least once a week, every other day during drought. Use warm, settled water. In this case, the soil should not be too wet. Overwatering can cause a fungal infection.
- Apply fertilizer regularly - once every 10-15 days. Peppers are given complex mineral supplements (for example, Kemira Lux) and liquid organic matter - potassium humate, infusion of cut grass, infusion of mullein.
- After watering, loosen. If necessary, do weeding.
- Tie the Regor pepper bushes as they grow to pre-installed supports.
- At first, the seedlings should be protected from the bright sun with a white cloth.
Prevention of diseases and pests
Hybrid Regor is resistant to many diseases and pests. But prevention should not be neglected. A few days after transplanting the seedlings, they must be treated with any effective fungicide:
- "Funlazol";
- "Maksim";
- "Ordan";
- "Skor";
- "Fitosporin".
If Colorado beetles, mole crickets, spider mites, cutworms, aphids and other pests are detected, you need to carry out several sprayings with folk remedies, for example, infusion of wormwood, celandine, garlic, chili pepper. As a last resort, Regor pepper is treated with insecticides:
- "Aktara";
- "Decis";
- "Biotlin";
- "Fufanon";
- "Match" and others.
Spraying of bushes is carried out in the late evening, it is advisable to do this in dry and windless weather (when grown in open beds).
Bad predecessors are tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes and other representatives of the Solanaceae family.
Conclusion
Regor pepper is an interesting variety that can be grown in any region. The hybrid adapts well even to unfavorable weather conditions, while the yield is consistently high, and the fruits themselves are very tasty.
