Features of agricultural technology
Pepper variety “Red Bull F1” is grown by seedling method. Seeds for seedlings are recommended to be sown in March. Beforehand, they should be germinated by placing them in a humid environment (wet cloth, gauze) with a temperature of +25-+270C. Seeds hatch after 5-10 days, after which they are sown. The soil for growing seedlings should be loose, nutritious. To create it, you can mix garden soil with peat, humus, sawdust. If necessary, ready-made soil composition can be purchased at a specialized store. Small plastic or peat pots can act as containers for cultivating plants.
After germination, peppers should be placed in a less warm environment with a temperature of + 22-230C. At the same time, seedlings are demanding not only for temperature, but also for light conditions. Therefore, experienced gardeners “highlight” young plants with fluorescent lamps. The optimal length of the light period is 12 hours a day.
Watering young plants should be carried out regularly, as the soil dries. Feeding is recommended every 2 weeks. As a fertilizer, you can use special complex compounds containing nitrogen and potassium.
You can grow red bull peppers in open and protected ground. At the same time, the use of a greenhouse or a greenhouse allows you to speed up the process of fruiting and increase crop yields. You can dive peppers into a greenhouse in early May; for open ground, the best time for planting plants is early June. The age of seedlings at the time of picking should be 45-55 days.
The bushes of the hybrid “Red Bull” are vigorous, sprawling. Their height reaches 1 m. Therefore, as soon as young plants have taken root, they must begin to form by pinching the top of the top shoot. In the process of growth on the bush, small stepchildren are removed, leaving 5-6 main fruit-bearing branches.
The soil along the perimeter of the trunk should be periodically weeded and loosened. In this case, it must be remembered that the roots of peppers are located in the upper layer of soil at a depth of 5 cm from the surface of the earth. That is why deep loosening, which can damage the roots, should be avoided. Mulching loose soil will help prevent the active growth of weeds and excessive drying of the soil.
Mass ripening of red bull peppers begins in 110-125 days from the day of sowing the seed for seedlings. In this case, the first peppers can be tasted a few weeks earlier.
On each plant of the Red Bull variety, during the period of active fruiting, from 20 to 30 large peppers can form at the same time, so the bush must be tied up. To do this, you can use a tapestry.
