Review of the Novogogoshary pepper variety: reviews of farmers, advantages and disadvantages, nuances of growing

Pepper lovers especially appreciate varieties with sweet and juicy pulp. It is to such peppers that the Novogogoshary variety belongs, characterized by large and fleshy fruits with a pleasant honey flavor. It has many advantages, it is suitable for growing in open and protected ground, and even a novice gardener can handle planting and caring for it.

What kind of pepper is this

A group of varieties of Gogoshara pepper with pumpkin-like fruits was bred by employees of the Research Institute of Moldova. The Novogogoshary variety is its modification, but in many characteristics it is similar to its predecessors.

Characteristics and description of the variety

A mid-season, highly productive variety Novogogoshary - a unique representative of the Solanaceae family. It belongs to standard vegetable crops with a compact root system, has juicy fruits that ripen on 109-113 days.

Ripe fruits are suitable not only for fresh consumption, but also for cooking various dishes, stuffing, whole-fruit canning.

reference! In the southern regions, Novogogoshary peppers are often grown outdoors. In the northern latitudes, the variety actively bears fruit exclusively in greenhouse or greenhouse conditions.

Distinctive features

The main distinguishing qualities of the Novogogoshary variety:

• large pumpkin-shaped fruits;
• lack of bitterness in the pulp;
• semi-spreading, medium-sized bush up to 45-50 cm high;
• intense fruiting;
• high level of keeping quality and transportability.

Fruit characteristics and yield

The fruits of Novogogoshary pepper are characterized by the following features:

• have a flat-round shape;
• slightly ribbed;
• weight varies within 90-140 g, length - up to 12 cm, wall thickness about 10 mm;
• color in biological ripeness is red, in technical - green or dark green;
• pulp is fleshy, juicy;
• the skin is dense;
• have excellent taste, aroma and optimum sweetness.

Up to seven fruits can ripen on one bush. And the level of yield in greenhouse conditions reaches 4 kg per 1 sq. m.

Attention! New balls ripen in several stages. During one growing season, you can collect fruits from each plant several times.

Preparation for growing

As a planting ground for pepper, experts recommend using:

1. Peat soil. It is made from two parts of peat (or humus) and one part of turf soil.
2. A soil mixture of three ingredients. In a 1: 1: 1 ratio, high-quality garden soil with a neutral density level, rotted cow manure and sand, which is used to loosen the soil, are mixed.

Reference! If the soil in the garden is clayey and dense, it is advisable to add a small amount of it to the soil mixture. This will create conditions similar to natural conditions for the formation of a strong root system.

Before planting, the soil is additionally prepared. Important processing steps:

• decrease in acidity - this indicator should not exceed 6.5 pH. With strong oxidation, dolomite flour, chalk or fertilizers containing ammonium sulfate are added to the soil;
• antibacterial treatment - a guarantee that the plant does not get sick. It is carried out with hot water, in the oven for a quarter of an hour or with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

The seed also needs disinfection and development stimulation:

1. Disinfection of seeds. It is produced by treatment with water at a temperature not lower than + 60 ° C for 10 minutes or warming up under a lamp. Either the seeds are kept for 20 minutes in a weak solution of potassium permanganate or "Previkura", "Polycarbacin", "Vitavax".
2. Soak in growth simulator for 24 hours. Suitable "Bioglobin", "Radifarm", "Rostkontsentrat", "Oracle", "Vympel" or a solution of sodium humate with a temperature of about + 25 ° C, ensuring uniform development of plants, increasing protective functions and productivity, antibacterial effect.
3. Two-hour treatment with "Azotofit" solution. It is prepared at the rate of 5 ml per 0.5 l of water and ensures the activation of nitrogenous bacteria and the improvement of the planting material.
4. Germination. The seeds are placed in warmth and covered with damp gauze or a towel, then wrapped in plastic.

Reference! Germination is necessary in order to select the strongest and most productive from pepper seeds. They are the ones who will sprout first.

Growing seedlings (with and without a pick)

Sowing seeds into the soil makes sense only in the southern regions of the country. In temperate and northern latitudes, pepper is grown only in seedlings.

Important! Sowing seeds for seedlings is done 8-10 weeks before planting in a permanent place.

Planting pepper

For growing seedlings use:

• wooden boxes;
• containers for food;
• special cassettes;
• glasses or tablets made of peat.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Select sprouted seeds.
2. Fill suitable containers with potting soil.
3. Moisten the soil with a spray bottle.
4. Plant the seeds to a depth of 1.5 cm. If further picking is planned, then the plants are planted at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other.
5. Sprinkle lightly with earth on top. Do not tamp.
6. Spray again with a spray bottle.
7. Cover with plastic wrap or glass to create an optimal microclimate.
8. Place in a warm and well-lit place with an air temperature of + 21-26 ° C, preferably on a windowsill on the south side.
9. Seven days after the first shoots appear, move the containers to a room with a temperature of about + 18 ° C to prevent the seedlings from pulling out.

Since pepper has a fragile root system, it is undesirable to pick seedlings. You can plant sprouted seeds in 1-2 pieces. directly into peat tablets or separate containers with a volume of up to 200 ml, which should be enough for the initial development of the culture. As soon as the seedlings have lateral roots, they are transferred into a half-liter container. This is necessary for the development of the root system and optimal nutrition.

Reference! The first shoots may appear above the ground in 7-10 days. This period depends on the quality of the planting soil and growing conditions.

Further care

Seedling care consists in the following actions:

1. Maintaining the temperature regime not lower than + 16-18 ° С.
2. Control of the length of daylight hours. If it is less than 12 hours, it is increased using phytolamps.
3. A pick of seedlings in the phase of two or three true leaves. When planting in a common container, the plants are thinned out, the weakest are removed. To do this, a sharp skewer is introduced into the ground, the lower part of the root is trimmed and the seedling is carefully pry. If the seeds were planted in separate containers or peat tablets, dive is not carried out.
4. Regular watering - at least once every seven days. The soil should be moist, but not waterlogged.
5. Fertilization. It is carried out 14 days after germination. The nutrient solution is made from 1 g of urea and 6 g of superphosphate per 2 liters of liquid. The second time the plant is fertilized three days before planting.

Attention! When grown in peat tablets, the plant does not need to be fertilized.

Features of growing varieties and possible difficulties

The Novogogoshary peppers develop fully only if certain conditions are met.Seedling bushes are moved into open ground a few weeks after the last spring frost, when the night temperature reaches + 12-15 ° C.

Suitable period - mid-June... It is advisable to transplant into a greenhouse or greenhouse in early or mid-May.

Plants are planted in loamy soil, which provides better oxygen access, at a distance of 20 cm from each other, leaving row spacings within 60 cm.Before planting a bush, each hole is filled with a liter of water, then the soil is mulched, covering it with straw or spruce branches.

When growing the Novogogoshary variety, the following difficulties are possible:

• excessive overgrowth of leaves, which will interfere with normal air exchange and cause damage to various diseases. In this case, the formation of the crown of the bush is carried out, cutting off the excess leaves;
• under the weight of the fruit, the bush bends to the ground, and the stem is deformed. The garter to the support will help to solve the problem;
• death due to excessive watering. Too frequent and intensive watering leads to leaching of nutrients from the soil and increases the risk of pathogenic microorganisms that cause infection of the stem or rot of the root system. Irrigation is carried out 2-3 times in 7 days and only if the topsoil is dry enough. In this case, the soil should be saturated with moisture at a depth of 15 cm, along the entire length of the root;
• weakening of pepper due to a lack of essential trace elements. Top dressing will help. It is carried out with organic or synthetic fertilizers during planting, at the time of flowering or the formation of ovaries. For a typical feeding, a solution of 30 g of potassium, 15 g of ammonium nitrate and 50 g of superphosphate, diluted in 10 liters of water, is used.

The Novogogoshary variety has a number of features that affect the efficiency of its cultivation:

1. Small roots... A strong gust of wind will easily rip the bush out of the soil. Regular loosening of the top layer and hilling will help prevent this, nutrients will easily flow to the root and strengthen it.
2. Extreme heat demand. Pepper develops at a temperature of about + 25 ° C, and when it decreases even by 5 degrees, a lag in development and maturation occurs.
3. Photophilousness. The Novogogoshary variety loves sunny areas, which often leads to burns. To avoid this, it is recommended to make a bed in a place where the intensity of the light changes throughout the day.

Reference! When planted next to other varieties of pepper, pollination is possible. The result is hybridized fruit with a bitter taste.

Typical diseases and pests

The variety is moderately immune to most diseases. But excessive humidity and high air temperature lead to a weakening of protective functions and damage by insects.

Most often, pepper suffers from the following pests and ailments:

• Aphid... It sucks sap from the plant, leaving a sticky bloom on the leaf surface - a nutrient medium for the development of soot fungi. The parasite is removed by spraying with soapy water or "Phosbecid" prepared at the rate of 5 ml per 5 liters of water.
• Colorado beetle... This insect affects not only potatoes, it can also move to peppers, especially if they grow nearby. For treatment use drugs "Aktara", "Prestige".
• Late blight. It is characterized by a sudden process of wilting, shedding of leaves, and vascular damage. In this case, diseased plants are eliminated, and the soil is treated with a solution of potassium permanganate or the drug "Planriz".
• Blackleg. Most often occurs at the time of emergence, determined by the darkening of the root collar and black constriction in the lower part of the stem. It is recommended to remove infected plants immediately.
• Gray rot... It is characterized by the appearance of wet brown spots with a grayish bloom on the stem in the area of ​​contact with the soil.At an early stage, the plant is sprayed with activated charcoal, chalk or garlic tincture diluted in water (30 g of grated garlic per 5 liters of liquid). In the advanced stage, diseased plants are immediately eliminated, and healthy ones are transplanted.

Any illness is always easier to prevent than to cure... Preventive measures:

• primary antibacterial treatment of seeds and soil;
• ensuring air circulation in the room with seedlings;
• compliance with crop rotation;
• timely watering and picking;
• removal of affected areas;
• introduction of biological preparations into the soil, for example, "Trichodermina";
• treatment of crops with a solution of copper sulfate (3%) and fungicides.

Attention! To prevent the transmission of any diseases to the peppers, do not plant them where potatoes or tomatoes grew. The best predecessors are cabbage, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beets.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Novogogoshary is a universal variety with a lot of advantages, which include:

• large-sized fruits with fleshy pulp and pleasant taste without bitterness;
• high level of productivity;
• resistance to deformation during transportation;
• long shelf life, the possibility of ripening indoors.

But there are also a number of disadvantages.

Firstly, exactingness to temperature and light conditions and growing conditions... The plant yields when grown in nutritious soil and prefers greenhouse conditions, although with this height it is more practical to plant it in open ground. With a decrease in temperature and light levels, development slows down and yield decreases.

The second minus is the fragility of the root system and stem fragility. The root is too close to the surface, the plant does not hold securely in the ground, so it can fall out and die. The stem is prone to deformation under the weight of the fruit and can break without a garter.

Reviews

There are many reviews on the network about the Novogogoshary variety, and most are positive.

Valentina, Omsk: “I would classify sweet pepper Novogoshara as excellent varieties... It has several significant advantages. I will list it in order of importance for me: this is a "fleshy" pepper - the wall thickness reaches one centimeter! Just gorgeous peppers! Pepper ripens within 109-113 days from the moment of germination, that is early variety... Suitable for fresh consumption, right from the garden, it can be stuffed, preserved for the winter. "

Ilya, Barnaul: “I will sow seedlings in March, at the beginning of the month. I transplant strong seedlings into greenhouses in May-June. And then I harvest the crop in July, August and September. I think if you have a greenhouse, then this kind of pepper is worth growing. "

Tatiana, Krasnoyarsk: “Novogogoshary pepper is super great! I have been growing it for three years in a greenhouse and I am very happy. In our harsh climate (the summer is short), the pepper is fruitful, thick, almost ripens on the vine, juicy, well kept. This pepper has taken a permanent place in my collection. "

Conclusion

The advantages of Novogogoshary peppers, in particular, the excellent taste and versatility of fruit processing, surpass all its disadvantages. The variety is suitable for growing in various regions of the country, as it develops well both in the open field and in the greenhouse. And subject to the basic rules of planting and care, it will give a rich harvest.
