How the variety differs from the hybrid

The variety is obtained by selection. Varietal seeds can be sown next year, expecting similar parental qualities.

Hybrids are the result of crossing several varieties at the same time, while maintaining the color palette of the fruit, taste and shape. They are more resistant to diseases and have higher yields. However, their seeds cannot be sown - pepper will not grow out of them. Their advantage is to get a high harvest this year.

Usually hybrids on packages are marked with F1 (from lat. filii - children).

Difficulties of summer residents of the middle lane

Very often, inexperienced summer residents are faced with low or completely absent yields of pepper, while planting varieties that are not suitable for central Russia. For example, the Gift of Moldova - it was developed for such regions as the Kuban and Crimea, or the California miracle, which is cold in the Moscow region and has a long ripening period (up to 130 days). There are more hardy varieties with high yields.

Recommended varieties

The main requirement for harvesting a high yield of pepper in the middle lane is to make your choice in favor of early ripening varieties that will have time to ripen and will bear fruit for a long time.

It is worth choosing the leaders who never let the summer residents down: Winnie the Pooh, Health, Junga, Chardash, Buratino, Eroshka and Funtik. They were specially bred for central Russia. The low bushes of these varieties allow the use of film cover. On average, the efforts of gardeners are consistently rewarded with about 2 kg of crop per bush. This happens about 100 days after germination.

You can also resort to special plant activators to improve the yield.

Super early varieties

Based on the reviews of summer residents, Buratino and Czardash are best suited for the Moscow region. The second after them are the peppers of the breeder Boriskina, which were bred for our region. From one bush, you can take 3-4 kg of harvest. Fleshy fruits, early ripening, resistant to diseases.

Many gardeners who conduct their agricultural activities in the Moscow region prefer varieties such as Litsedei, Bagration and Cupid. Barguzin and Zaznayka have high yields, as well as Country and Kornet. Alyonushka and Nochka hybrid are good to grow in greenhouses. However, due to their high growth (up to 1.5 meters), they are not at all suitable for open ground.

By trial and error, summer residents of the Moscow region distinguish several early ripening varieties of peppers. In the first place are Agapovsky and Dobrynya, brought out by research institutes in the Moscow region. Together with them, such varieties as a hybrid from the Netherlands - Aries, our hybrids - Mercury and Ruza ripen. It is convenient to grow Pinocchio and Tenderness under the film. The average ripening period for all these varieties does not exceed 100 days.
