Description of the Red Bull pepper variety, its characteristics and productivity
Summer residents try to choose unpretentious, productive and very tasty varieties of vegetables for their plots. These include the Red Bull pepper, which has already gained popularity. It differs from competitors in its huge fruit size, excellent taste, high yield and resistance to the main types of diseases.
Description of the variety
The red bull is raised both outdoors and in greenhouses. The variety is indeterminate, capable of bearing fruit before the onset of frost. The bush is powerful, its height sometimes exceeds 1 meter. Needs shaping and pinching of the top. Stepsons are necessarily removed in the process of growth.
The characteristics of the fruits indicate that the mass of one of them reaches an average of 250 grams. It was possible to grow record specimens up to 500 grams. In shape, the peppers resemble an elongated cylinder, the length of which is about 20 cm. The wall thickness of the gobies fluctuates around 10 mm. In the middle of the fruit, there are up to 4 seed chambers.
At the stage of technical ripeness, the peppers acquire a rich red color, but before that they are colored green. The skin of the Red Bull is thin and looks like a gloss.
The yield of this variety is high, up to 9 kg of high quality peppers are harvested from one square meter. It is necessary to remove the fruits from the bushes at the moment when they have acquired a light green color. When the Red Bull turns a bright red color, the likelihood of pests or damage to the crop increases. If you overexpose the fruits on the bushes, the fragile branches of the plant may break off. Peppers are capable of ripening during storage.
The red bull is suitable not only for fresh consumption, but also for all types of conservation and processing. It can be used in dietetic food. There are several more varieties of this variety that differ in appearance, but have similar characteristics.
Advantages and disadvantages
The description of the variety allows us to say that the Red Bull has more advantages than disadvantages. These include:
- increased resistance to major diseases;
- large fleshy fruits;
- excellent taste;
- long fruiting period;
- universal use of fruits;
- the possibility of using in dietary food;
- high content of vitamins of groups B, C, PP, R.
Of the shortcomings, only the need for pinching and forming a bush is distinguished. But, as evidenced by the reviews of experienced gardeners, these inconveniences can be completely neglected.
Yellow and orange bull
The goby varieties are yellow and orange. The yellow bull is a popular hybrid of two excellent varieties of bell peppers... It is distinguished by huge fleshy fruits, which acquire a bright golden color at the stage of technical ripeness. The peppers grow sweet, thin-skinned, tender and aromatic. The harvested crop is used for all types of processing. It tolerates long distance transportation and storage without losing its taste and marketability. Used for growing on an industrial scale.
Pepper Orange bull is very similar in characteristics to its yellow counterpart. It differs from it in that at the stage of technical ripeness, the fruits already acquire a bright orange color. The variety belongs to the mid-season and is cultivated both outdoors and indoors. Up to 14 kg of crops are harvested from one square meter. Plants of this variety have excellent resistance to tobacco mosaic virus.
Growing features
Red bull peppers are grown by seedling method. Before sowing, the seeds are wrapped in a damp cloth and left at room temperature for a week. The fabric is periodically moistened. As soon as the first sprouts begin to hatch, nutritious heated soil mixed with sawdust and humus is poured into a previously prepared container.
Grooves up to 2 cm deep are made in the ground and planting material is sown, watered with water at room temperature. Crops are covered with glass or cellophane film. As soon as the first shoots appear, the shelter is removed and the container is placed in a well-lit place. In the future, young plants are watered as the top layer of the soil dries up and complex fertilizers are applied.
Before planting in open ground, the seedlings of the Red Bull must be hardened. For this, the container with it is taken out daily to fresh air. On the first day, the plants are left for only a couple of hours, then the time is increased. If there is no threat of night frost, then the peppers can be left outside overnight.
For planting, the red bull prefers a nutritious and loose soil that is able to retain moisture well. Plants need regular watering to increase yields. In the case of a lack of moisture, the growth and development of peppers is inhibited, and the indicators of yield and marketability are significantly reduced. The optimum temperature for raising the Red Bull is + 25 ° C.
In the process of caring for peppers, make sure that there is no excess nitrogen fertilizer under the bushes. Otherwise, the plants can throw off the formed ovaries. During the formation of peppers, plants require mineral fertilizers.
The red bull forms a powerful and tall bush, but under the weight of the fruit, its branches tend to break. It is necessary to install supports and supports in a timely manner, especially if large peppers are tied. In the open field, the installation of additional supports for this grade is a must.
To grow the Red Bull, you need to purchase seeds only in trusted stores and from reliable suppliers. The future harvest directly depends on the quality of the seed. Remember that the Red Bull is a hybrid variety, therefore it is not possible to collect seeds on your own. Even if in the next season it is possible to get seedlings from their own seed, they will not have the same characteristics as the mother plant.
Reviews of summer residents and farmers about the Red Bull pepper variety are extremely positive. The collected fruits are not only delicious, but also healthy. They contain a lot of vitamins and microelements necessary for the body. Eating raw peppers helps to stabilize the digestive system and also improves overall health. It is not difficult to grow peppers of the Red Bull variety, although some effort will have to be made.This minor deficiency is offset by high yields of tasty and aromatic fruits that provide health and well-being benefits.
I really love pepper, in any form. Stuffed, fresh, canned. Therefore, I try to plant it in large quantities in the garden. But, unfortunately, I do not always collect a rich harvest. Because of the cold weather, it can “sit down” for a long time. In such cases, it is necessary to resort to activating plant growth with a means BioGrow... Of course, if you can do without aids, that's fine. But it so happens that this tool is irreplaceable.
