Orange bell pepper - beneficial properties

Orange color indicates a large amount of α-, β-, γ-carotenes. The word carotene “carota” is Latin and means “carrot”. Carrots and orange peppers are leaders among vegetables in the content of carotenes, which have a beneficial effect on human vision. If we hold a “competition” on the healing properties between carrots and orange peppers, the latter will be the winner.

Another advantage of orange varieties of vegetables is that they, like red varieties, are simply an inexhaustible source of vitamin C (150-200 mg). In terms of ascorbic acid, red and orange representatives of sweet peppers are superior to lemons.

The southern vegetable is famous not only for ascorbic acid. In 100 gr. orange pepper contains a large number of other vitamins, without which it is impossible to imagine the normal functioning of the body: A (20 mg), B1 (0.08 mg), B2 (0.09 mg), B6 ​​(0.3 mg), B9 (10 µg) , PP (0.8 mg), E (0.7 mg).

The vegetable can also be called a real wealth for its saturation of fruits with microelements: iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus.

The low calorie content of the product (26 kcal) should also be included in the useful properties of the vegetable. By eating bell pepper, a person receives a whole range of vitamins and microelements without causing any harm to the figure.

Orange pepper - how to choose the right variety

orange pepper

Bell peppers come in different colors; they can be white, orange, green, yellow, red and even purple. Of course, the color of the fruit is in no way related to how ripe the pepper is.

Green peppers will not turn red during storage. However, any pepper that is not yet ripe has a green color. Sometimes it remains that way, it all depends on the specific variety.

Bell pepper differs not only in color, but also in chemical composition. Each fruit has many elements and substances necessary for the body, such as capsaicin.

The substance is an alkaloid, which gives bell pepper its characteristic taste. Capsaicin also has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract.

As for red pepper, it contains a higher content of ascorbic acid, and it also contains vitamin A. Yellow and orange peppers contain large amounts of phosphorus, potassium and rutin.

These elements help maintain blood vessels in an elastic state. Green peppers (both unripe and certain varieties) have a lot of substances that are useful for preventive purposes against various tumors.

Bell peppers are annual plants. You need to approach the choice of bell pepper variety with all responsibility. After all, different varieties give different results in certain climatic conditions.

Let's take a closer look at the categories of pepper varieties:

1) Terms of ripening. This category includes the following varieties: super early, early, mid early, mid late and late.

In general, peppers take quite a long time to ripen. It is for this reason that most summer residents prefer to plant early and super early varieties.

The fact is that not all regions have a sufficient duration of the warm period, and because of this, the fruits may simply not have time to fully ripen.

Almost all peppers are grown using seedlings so that the plants are already sufficiently ready for planting in open ground or in a greenhouse.

As for late varieties of orange peppers, at the end of the season they are sometimes transplanted into separate containers and continued to be grown at home. And then the fruits can be enjoyed until mid-January.

The best option would be if you plant varieties with different ripening periods on the site. Here you have early ripening varieties of orange peppers bearing fruit, followed by middle and late varieties. This way you will receive delicious fruits throughout the season.

2) Conditions in which peppers are grown . Bell peppers can be grown in two ways: in open ground or in greenhouse conditions.

Not every variety of bell pepper intended for growing in greenhouses will show the same good results in an open area. Temperature is very important for orange bell peppers.

It is also necessary to provide your plants with the right level of lighting and watering. You need to choose a variety based on your growing conditions, which you can provide to the plants.

Before purchasing seeds, it would be a good idea to consult with the seller. And also read the information on the bag of seeds.

3) Appearance and size of the plant. Many gardeners pay attention to the aesthetic component of the plant when choosing a variety. As for size, this is also a fairly important parameter, knowledge of which will be required when planting plants.

It is especially important to know about the proposed planting scheme in small areas, as well as in low greenhouses. In such cases, it is better to buy low-growing varieties.

4) Plant immunity. At the moment, quite a large number of varieties of orange peppers have strong immunity against major diseases and harmful insects. This makes these problems minimally likely.

It is necessary to take into account the above points when choosing a particular variety of orange pepper. After all, if you do not pay due attention to such important criteria, then you may never get a good, abundant and tasty harvest.

Advice! The author-breeder advises planting the seeds for seedlings in March. From the moment the seeds germinate until the seedlings are transplanted into the ground, about 70 days should pass. The most suitable landing option is considered to be 40x60. The harvest is harvested in July.

Orange bull

The Orange Bull is considered a high-yielding hybrid with a long fruiting period. Technical maturity occurs 110 days from the date of seed germination, biological maturity 15-20 days later. Summer residents can buy seeds and grow Orange Bull seedlings at home or purchase plants ready for planting in the ground. Typically, homemade seedlings are stronger and more resistant to various diseases.

Hybrid features:

• plant height 80-110 cm;
• weight 250 g, some specimens grow up to 400 g;
• cube-shaped;
• the color is bright orange when fully ripe, dark green when technical maturity occurs;
• pericarp fleshy, thick, 10 mm;
• The yield per 1 m2 is high, depends on the growing conditions and varies from 7 to 14 kg.

Seeds of sweet pepper variety Orange Bull are sown in March; the resulting seedlings can be moved to greenhouses in May according to the 40x60 pattern. When replanting, it is recommended to remove leaves and side shoots up to the first fork. The fewer shoots there are, the higher the mass of individual specimens will be. If you leave the shoots, the peppers will be smaller, but their number will increase. This does not affect the overall yield.

Plants should be tied to a trellis or support. The harvest is harvested by summer residents from July to September. Peppers are great for making salads, decorating dishes and canning.

Sweet pepper variety “Yantar”

Brief characteristics: Early ripening. Ripens in an average of 112 days Fruit weight: 90 - 110 g Shape: cone-shaped Color: green and orange

Information from the State Register:

Bell pepper colors: what do they mean?

The red color of the pepper makes it clear that it contains the largest amount of vitamin C and A, and it has the sweetest taste. The red color in this case is not a warning of danger, like a traffic signal. Quite the opposite: the bright, scarlet color emphasizes that this pepper is the most medicinal member of the nightshade family. It monitors eye health, makes capillaries elastic, and prevents the development of cancer.

Yellow peppers contain the least amount of vitamin C than their “brothers” of other colors. The value of such a fruit lies in trace elements, especially potassium, which is responsible for the health of the cardiovascular system. A lack of potassium can lead to the development of diseases of the nervous system, so you should not completely exclude yellow peppers from your diet.

Green vegetables are the lowest in calories, so they are suitable for people on a diet. It is also recommended for diabetics to consume green peppers, as their pulp contains less sugar.

The most useful are bell peppers that are red and orange in color. A lot is known about red pepper, since the scarlet varieties are the most popular among vegetable lovers.

The orange fruit remains a mystery to many, and people buy it more for its unusual color than for its beneficial properties.

The most productive pepper varieties for open ground

An important indicator when choosing a variety is yield. The list of the most productive varieties includes Dutch hybrids, as well as several Russian ones.

Pepper "Ferrari F1"

The Dutch hybrid "Ferrari F1" is an early ripening variety. Mature bushes grow up to 1 meter. They have powerful, erect stems and strong branches. Mature fruits are formed already on the 110th – 120th day after planting the seeds.

Video:

The fruits look like classic Bulgarian ones, retaining their cubic shape, which distinguishes varieties bred in Europe.

The weight of an adult fetus is 190 grams. Dense, crispy.

The yield of the FERARI variety can reach up to 24 kg per 1m2! (such data were recorded in the Krasnodar Territory 4 years ago).

Sweet pepper "Bentley F1"

It is the absolute leader among the most productive varieties. It is a fairly compact bush.

The fruits are distinguished by thin skin, lemon-yellow hue, and cube-shaped. The weight of one pepper varies from 200 to 220 grams. The shape of the fruit is beautiful and even. There is no tendency to shredding.

The yield of the Bentley F1 variety is at a high level - from 2 to 3 kg of fruits per bush.

Does not require additional fertilizing or fertilizing.

Pepper "Salamander F1"

Salamander peppers withstand long-term transportation very well. Can be stored for a long time.

The yield of the variety reaches 2.5 kg per plant.

"Kolobok"

Russian high-yielding variety. It ripens quickly, already on the 110th – 115th day. By this time, the peppers reach a weight of 80 to 95 grams, each individually. The wall is quite dense and thick, almost 1 cm in size.

During the ripening process, they first acquire a dark green color, after which they turn red, reaching the stage of full ripeness. Ripe fruits have tender flesh. Juicy and sweet.

Productivity – up to 6 kg per 1 m2.

Thick-walled sweet peppers for open ground

Peppers with thick, dense walls are excellent for growing in open ground conditions. Even in areas with a not very favorable climate. There are many varieties of thick-walled peppers for growing outdoors.

"Asti"

A popular variety grown on Russian territory. It looks aesthetically pleasing: with smooth walls, a little gloss on the surface. It stands out with its bright, red coloring. Peppers fully ripen already on the 110th day after the formation of the first shoots.

The weight of one fruit can reach 200 grams. Productivity per 1 m2 is up to 10 kg.

Pepper "Indalo F1"

Refers to hybrids with an average ripening period. 4 months after sowing the seeds, sweet golden-yellow fruits are obtained.

Growing is normal. An adult bush is very tall. Therefore, its growth of 1 or 2 stems is formed in advance, which increases the amount of harvest.

It does not require a garter, as a trellis is sufficient. The fruits of "Indalo F1" are large in size: length - from 11 to 12 cm, weighing up to 300 grams each.

Purple pepper "Cardinal"

The Cardinal variety is distinguished, among others, by its unusual, bright, purple color. High resistance to viruses. Not affected by pests.

Included in the category of varieties with early ripening periods: they ripen on the 80th – 90th day. "Cardinal" is distinguished by its high yield - up to 14 kg per 1 m2.

Suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for preparations.

"King Kong"

Pepper with thick walls. Has a beautiful appearance. It is distinguished by its large size, which is why it got its name. The weight of one King Kong pepper can reach half a kilogram!

King Kong peppers ripen quickly: in just 3 months. The variety bears fruit for a very long period of time. Fruits are also formed in conditions with low temperatures.

Preparation

When working with seeds, it is necessary to carry out disinfection

containers (boxes, seedlings). Hands should be wearing gloves or should be washed periodically and wiped with napkins. There are very frequent cases when the infection gets on the seeds due to insufficiently carefully treated containers. New containers must be washed; it is advisable to soak already used containers for a day in a deochlor solution, 1 tablet per 5 liters of water, and then rinse thoroughly.

Soil for seedlings

In soil prepared independently, with the addition of no more than 20% of purchased soil, peppers grow much better.

It is necessary to mix 35% peat, 20% purchased high-quality soil with fertilizers and microelements, 30% garden soil not from tomatoes, steamed to 60 degrees, 10% your own or purchased vermicompost, 4% perlite, 1% vermiculite.

Sowing time

Late-ripening varieties and hybrids are sown for seedlings on February 15-20, and early-ripening and mid-ripening varieties on March 1-10. The age of pepper seedlings before planting seedlings in the ground or greenhouse should be on average 65-75 days (80).

The closer to the bright and warm days of spring you sow the seeds, the higher the solar activity and your seedlings will grow faster. According to personal observations, seedlings sifted in March very quickly catch up with seedlings sown in January.

Growing seedlings without picking

• Fill a container for seedlings with a volume of 300-400 ml with drainage holes on the sides and bottom with fine charcoal to a height of 2 cm. Pour 1/6 teaspoon of calcium nitrate onto the drainage layer, literally at the very tip. Pour ¾ of the soil on top. Moisten it from a spray bottle with a solution of any humate, diluted according to the instructions; the color of the solution should be like the color of weakly brewed tea.
• At a distance of 3-4 cm from each other, place 2 pepper seeds in a seedling container on top of the soil and lightly press them into the soil. Once again spray the humate solution directly on the seeds to stimulate germination energy. Then cover with a 0.5 cm layer of dry soil. Place the seedling containers in a box. Cover the top with film to create a greenhouse effect to preserve heat and prevent the soil from drying out. Place the boxes in a warm place.
• The temperature required for pepper seed germination should be at least 30 degrees Celsius.
  Seeds begin to germinate within 4-5 days.
  When the first shoots appear, remove the film and place them under lighting. Pepper's need for light is only 11-12 hours a day. With longer daylight hours, the seedlings become elongated and thin. After emergence of seedlings, the temperature for pepper seedlings should be reduced to plus 22-25 degrees during the day and plus 6-18 at night.
• Pepper is very picky about soil moisture; it should always be moist, but overwatering is not allowed.
  When seedlings are moistened excessively, physiological diseases of peppers begin, leaves drop, or white bubbly swellings form on them. With the normalization of irrigation, the situation returns to normal. With systematic violation of watering and temperature conditions, below plus 16 degrees, sweet pepper seedlings are most often affected by the following infectious diseases: fungal rot (blackleg, gray rot, late blight), fungal wilts, bacterial spots (bacterial black spot). In a common container, diseases instantly spread from plant to plant.
• After 2-3 weeks, only one of the strongest seedlings should be left in the seedling glass. The weaker one is removed. As the seedlings grow, it is advisable to spray them with a pale solution of humate once a week. It is advisable to change humates. The first week humate + 7, the second week humate + iodine, the third week regular potassium humate.

Growing seedlings with picking

• In seedling containers or boxes at least 10 cm high, make a 2 cm drainage layer of fine charcoal. Pour 7 cm of soil on top, which must be moistened with any humate from a spray bottle. Create rows at a distance of 5-6 cm from each other, place pepper seeds in them at a distance of 4-5 cm from each other. Moisten it again with a spray bottle and cover it with dry soil on top, which is then lightly compacted. Place the boxes in a warm place. Cover the top with film to create a greenhouse effect to preserve heat and prevent the soil from drying out. Place the boxes in a warm place.
• The temperature required for pepper seed germination should be at least 30 degrees Celsius.
  Seeds begin to germinate within 4-5 days.
  When the first shoots appear, remove the film and place them under lighting. Pepper's need for light is only 11-12 hours a day. With longer daylight hours, the seedlings become elongated and thin. After emergence of seedlings, the temperature for pepper seedlings should be reduced to plus 22-25 degrees during the day and plus 16-18 at night.
• Pepper is very picky about soil moisture; it should always be moist, but overwatering is not allowed.
  When seedlings are moistened excessively, physiological diseases of peppers begin, leaves drop, or white bubbly swellings form on them. With the normalization of irrigation, the situation returns to normal. With systematic violation of watering and temperature conditions, below plus 16 degrees, sweet pepper seedlings are most often affected by the following infectious diseases: fungal rot (blackleg, gray rot, late blight), fungal wilts, bacterial spots (bacterial black spot). In a common container, diseases instantly spread from plant to plant.
• When two pairs, that is, four true leaves, appear, the pepper seedlings are ready for picking.
  It is carried out in seedling containers with a volume of at least 400-500 ml with drainage holes at the bottom and along the stacks. When picking, be sure to pick up pepper seedlings only by the leaves, not by the stem. Work only with gloves. Carefully place a kitchen silicone spatula under the root of each seedling into the seedling container (it bends remarkably well and does not injure the delicate roots of the pepper) or a teaspoon (this is a more traumatic option). And using a spatula, holding it by the leaves, transfer the seedling into a seedling glass with moist soil. Compress the soil very carefully and very thoroughly in the root zone so that there are no air pockets left between the roots and the soil. After picking, water the pepper from a spray bottle so as not to wash away the soil.
• When growing pepper seedlings, they are fed once with calcium nitrate at the root of ½ tablespoon per liter of water. One complete complex fertilizer for peppers and tomatoes and sprayed several times with very low concentration liquid humates every 7-10 days. The solution of any humate should be the color of very pale tea leaves, no matter what is written in the instructions, always focus on the color of the humate. This way you will prevent burns and overdose of fertilizer. If your seedlings are still lagging behind in growth and development, then 2-3 weeks before planting they are fed with ammonium sulfate (nitrogen + sulfur) 1-2 grams of fertilizer per liter. Water the soil in seedling cups with this solution.
• 2 weeks before planting, the lower leaves of pepper seedlings are removed at a height of 10 cm from the ground. You can remove 3-4 leaves a week, not all at once, but gradually. This should be done early in the morning so that the wound heals by evening. 2-3 weeks before planting, seedlings begin to harden. To do this, reduce the night temperature to plus 16-17 and the day temperature to plus 17. You cannot harden pepper in a draft.

Preparing the soil for planting

Hybrid pepper is very demanding on the content of nutrients in the soil, since it takes them from the soil very much and quickly during the season.

For each square meter of pepper bed, it is necessary to add 100-120 grams of nitrogen-potassium-phosphorus fertilizer, plus 200-300 grams of a soft deoxidizer with boron and microelements or the same amount of dolomite flour.

All this is added in the spring during digging, two weeks before planting the pepper. If you have problems with wireworms in your area, then you need to add several granules of the drug provotox to each planting hole. If there is an excess of organic matter, the pepper loses its color, the fruits soften and rot.

Transplanting

To avoid encounters with pests of peppers and other crops, 3 days before planting in the ground, it is recommended to spray the seedlings with the modern pesticide Aktara.

Early ripening peppers are planted in holes at a distance of 25-30 cm from each other and 45-60 cm between rows. Planting depth to the root collar. Mid-season varieties are planted with a distance between holes of 30-40 cm and 50-70 cm between rows. Late-ripening peppers are planted at a distance between holes of 40-50 cm and between rows of 60-70 cm. Before planting, the holes are spilled with a solution of trichodermin or phytosporin to prevent fungal diseases and root rot.

Care and cultivation

It is always advisable to water hybrid peppers with a weak fertilizer solution; it is enough to take from 1/4 to 1/2 the dose recommended in the instructions.

The yield and taste of our fruits and the health of our plants depend on nutrition. They want to eat every day. They cannot be fed at once and for 10-14 days at once. Every day they grow, they breathe, every day they evaporate food through the leaf.

The development of pepper is regulated by foliar nutrition on the leaf according to the following scheme:

1. The first calcium supplement
   : dissolve 50 grams of calcium nitrate in 10-12 liters of warm water and spray the peppers early in the morning.
   This fertilizing promotes the development of a powerful root system and prevents the development of root rot, increases the plant’s ability to resist diseases and infections.
2. The second fertilizer is phosphorus-potassium.
   Phosphorus is necessary
   for the full formation and development of buds.
   The second feeding is carried out 3-5 days after the first. At the same time, you can water the peppers with mullein solution (0.5 liters per 10 liters of water) for each bush, 2-3 liras. Interval 3-4 days. We also use potassium monophosphate fertilizer, dissolve 1 teaspoon in 10-12 liters of warm water, slightly acidified with whey (200 ml per 10 l), and spray the plants leaf by leaf early in the morning, but not earlier than 3-4 days after calcium fertilizing.
3. The third feeding
   3-5 after the previous one is
   boron-magnesium, it prevents the ovary and color from falling off.
   Half a teaspoon of fertilizer is diluted in 7-10 liters of warm water and sprayed over the leaf. At the same time, root feeding is carried out with ammonium sulfate (nitrogen + sulfur). One dessert spoon is diluted in 10 liters of warm water and watered 2-2.5 liters under each bush.
4. The fourth feeding is potassium sulfate.
   One teaspoon should be dissolved in 2 liters of warm water and sprinkled on the peppers early in the morning; it is good to combine this feeding with watering with an infusion of wood ash. Infuse one kilogram of wood ash in 100 liters of water for a day and pour 3-4 liters of peppers per bush with this infusion.
5. The fifth feeding with a complete nutritional complex with a set of all necessary microelements
   is carried out both on the leaf and at the root. It is advisable to take half or 1/3 of the dose recommended in the instructions. The waiting period is 3-5 days.
6. The sixth leaf feeding with any humate
   , we combine it with watering with herbal infusion or mullein infusion 0.5 liters per 10 liters of water, 2-3 liters for each bush. After the sixth feeding, the entire scheme is repeated again, starting from the first feeding.
7. If necessary, if you notice that the pepper lacks nitrogen, you can additionally either spray or pour 2-3 liters per bush under the root with a weak solution of ammonium sulfate, a teaspoon per 10 liters of water.

It is very important that after a sufficient number of peppers have formed on the bushes, it is necessary to completely stop feeding with infusions of grass and slurry. This will help avoid fruit rotting.

2 weeks before the peppers are completely harvested, only 2 foliar feedings work: calcium, use calcium nitrate 30 grams per 10 liters of water, so the pepper will be well stored, and potassium, use any potassium complex, this will allow our peppers to become sweet during ripening . All watering is stopped two weeks before the end of the pepper growing season and the full harvest.

Diseases and methods of combating them

When growing peppers, it is imperative to carry out a set of measures to combat pests, vectors of infections and diseases. If you follow agricultural feeding practices, timely disease prevention and pest control, as the main carrier of infections, the likelihood of encountering diseases is much less.

Alternaria blight

Peppers most often affect the entire inside of the fruit; on the surface there may be only a barely noticeable insignificant dark spot. The disease progresses in dry weather, as well as during sudden temperature changes. We spray damaged plants with a solution of Bordeaux mixture (100 g of preparation per bucket of water) or copper oxychloride (40 g of preparation per bucket of water), HOM, ORDAN and other fungicides.

Gray rot

It mainly affects the fruits of the peppers and the trunks; the root system most often remains intact. The disease develops very quickly in high humidity; after just a few days, there may be nothing left of the fruit. The most effective fungicide for combating gray mold today is Switch. It has no analogues, it contains 2 innovative substances, this ensures high biological activity: cyprodinil 37.5% has a systemic effect on the pathogen, blocks the formation of amino acids, disrupts the development cycle of pathogenic fungi, prevents their penetration into plant tissues, fludioxanil 25% has contact mechanism of action, inhibits the growth of mycelium of pathogenic fungi. The effect of the drug begins after 2 hours. It is effective against most fungal infections. The protective effect lasts up to 3 weeks. The result of spraying is noticeable 36 hours after treatment. Low toxicity to humans and insects, harmless to processed crops.

White rot

– a dangerous disease of peppers, develops from the above-ground parts of plants, very quickly affects the fruits themselves and spreads from bush to bush. Signs of the disease: withered, yellowed and subsequently completely drying bush along with the fruits. White rot is promoted by high air humidity and evening watering. Treatment is the modern drug Switch.

Apical rot

- non-infectious pepper disease. Its cause is calcium deficiency and overdose of organic fertilizers containing excess nitrogen, as well as uneven watering and changes in air humidity. Control measures: eliminate possible causes of the disease, additionally apply 2-3 calcium supplements at intervals of 3 days, dissolve 50 grams of calcium nitrate per 10 liters of water and spray the peppers early in the morning.

Verticillium and Fusarium wilt

peppers cannot be treated. Plants should be immediately removed with a clod of earth and removed from the site. After removal, pour the hole with a strong solution of almost black manganese. The disease begins with wilting of the leaves at the bottom and browning of the vascular bundles in the lower part of the stem; note that in appearance the plant seems absolutely healthy.

Lythracnose

affects the roots and bases of stems and can appear at any stage of plant development. If a pepper is infected with lytracnose, its roots are usually covered with brown spots, and the plant itself is significantly stunted in growth. Watery spots appear on fruits affected by the disease, which actively increase in size. If lythracnose has just begun to develop, you can treat the plants with a 0.4 percent solution of copper oxychloride or Bordeaux mixture (it is better to use a one percent solution). As a rule, pepper has to be removed; it is very difficult to cure such a plant. The wells are shed with copper oxychloride.

Growing Hot Peppers

The agricultural technology is the same as for sweets, with the exception of small nuances. Hot peppers grow a little slower and it is better to sow them for seedlings 20 days earlier. You cannot grow sweet and hot peppers together in the same bed.

Sweet peppers easily cross-pollinate and become bitter or spicy. Hot peppers are less susceptible to pest attack than sweet peppers.
