Gogoshars love bell peppers for their original shape and spicy taste. And the high yield and good transportability make it advisable to grow this crop not only at home, but also on an industrial scale.
The fruits of the Gogoshary variety are large and fleshy
History of appearance
The originator of the variety was the Moldavian Research Institute of Vegetable Growing. Later, breeders decided to unite a group of varieties that were similar in appearance under one name. During the work, scientists tried to give the Gogoshary bell pepper a spicy taste and provide good immunity to diseases and pests.
Description of Gogoshary pepper variety
The external description of Gogoshary sweet pepper, as can be seen in the photo, is slightly different from other varieties of the crop.It is a perennial subshrub of the Solanaceae family, which is usually grown as an annual plant.
Pepper bushes are compact and erect. The height of the branching tetrahedral stems is on average 35-45 cm. The crown diameter is about 50 cm. Herbaceous shoots, extremely fragile at the seedling stage, become strong and woody at the base by the time of fruiting.
The rich green petiolate leaves have a rounded-elongated shape with a sharp tip. The foliage of the stems is moderate.
During the flowering period, the plant is covered with white single flowers, in place of which the ovary later forms.
The rounded, flattened, ribbed fruits of the Gogoshary bell pepper, as seen in the photo, look like small pumpkins. These are false multi-seeded hollow berries, consisting of a pericarp (pulp) and an expanded placenta (carpel area) with seeds.
The color of peppers in most cases is red, but there are varieties with fruits in yellow, orange, brown and even purple shades. The weight of peppers, depending on the type, can also be different and varies between 60-220 g.
The pulp is dense, juicy, crispy. The walls are thick - from 0.5 to 1 cm. The taste is pleasant, sweetish, sometimes with a spicy bitterness. A characteristic feature of the variety is the ability of the fruits to ripen after being picked from the bush.
The flat, round seeds are slightly curved and light yellow in color. Germination is maintained for 2-3 years.
The root system of the Gogoshary pepper is branched, the central root can go into the soil to a depth of 40 to 100 cm. Most of the lateral roots are located close to the soil surface.
Gogoshar peppers are distinguished by good keeping quality and the ability to withstand transportation over long distances.
Fruits rich in vitamins are used for preparing various dishes and preserving them.
Gogoshary pepper can also be eaten fresh.
Characteristics of Gogoshary pepper
Like all representatives of the culture that arrived in European countries from the tropics, Gogoshary pepper loves warmth and moisture. A decrease in air temperature during the growing season and fruiting below +16 ° C can be destructive for it. Under the influence of cold, the shoots stop growing, the leaves turn white, and the flowers and the ovary that has managed to form fall off.
The culture is characterized as self-pollinating. Moreover, flowers often pollinate not only their own bush, but also neighboring plants, which can affect the taste of the fruit. That is why, when growing several varieties of pepper in one area, to prevent cross-pollination, they must be placed at a great distance from each other.
About a dozen peppers can ripen on one bush

Features of growing Gogoshary pepper
The sweet and semi-hot peppers of Gogoshary can hardly be called unpretentious. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal development of the crop and get a good harvest, you need to know the rules of its cultivation.
When and how to plant Gogoshary pepper seedlings
Peppers are planted in open ground approximately 60 days after the seeds hit the ground.This should be taken into account when determining the timing of planting seeds for seedlings (late February, early March).
Ideally, plant peppers in individual glasses. If this is not possible, you can use a large shared container for this. In this case, you will have to take special care when replanting plants, because this crop is painfully susceptible to damage to the central root.
The soil used is light, fertile. The seeds are buried 1.5-2 cm and the container is covered with film to ensure a greenhouse effect. After the emergence of seedlings, the film is removed and the seedlings are given appropriate care, including moderate watering and fertilizing.
Transplantation into open ground
Seedlings are transferred to open ground when the mercury column of the thermometer is firmly fixed at +16 ° C and the threat of return frosts has passed.
The seedlings are planted in pre-prepared and moistened holes at a distance of 25 cm. There should be at least 60 cm between the rows.
Further care
Subsequent care of seedlings includes:
- watering as the soil dries;
- regular fertilizing with superphosphates and organic fertilizers;
- loosening the soil and removing weeds;
- hilling seedlings.
Plant seedlings with root ball of soil
Prevention of diseases and pests
The cause of the development of fungal diseases - spotted wilt, mosaic, black leg, late blight - can be:
- excessive soil moisture;
- nutritional deficiency;
- dense plantings;
- lack of preventive measures.
To help prevent troubles:
- organizing proper watering and fertilizing;
- planting plants at optimal intervals;
- removing weeds and loosening the soil;
- periodic inspection of plants for diseases and removal of diseased specimens from the garden bed;
- treatment of diseases and preventive treatment of plantings with fungicidal preparations.
