Conveyor arrival of the sweet pepper harvest

An important task is to increase the resistance of the human body to adverse environmental factors, which can be solved with the introduction of high-vitamin products into the diet, including sweet pepper, whose fruits are rich in biologically active substances, have high taste, therapeutic and curative properties.

The purpose of the work is to study the influence of varieties created by VNIIOOB breeders with different maturation periods, the development of technology for their cultivation, contributing to the conveyor arrival of the crop.

Novelty – for the first time, new varieties of sweet pepper with different maturation periods in seedling and seedless culture were studied, affecting the harvesting time. Relevance: this work will allow us to develop a conveyor intake of the crop, which will provide the market for consumption of fresh products for a long time.

Object of research is varieties of sweet pepper – Zarnitsa, Dar of the Caspian Sea, Atomor.

Materials and methods. The research was conducted in the period from 2020 to 2022 at the All–Russian Research Institute of Irrigated Vegetable Growing and Melon Growing, a branch of the PAFSC RAS, according to generally accepted methods for technologies adopted in the region.

Research and results. The studied varieties of sweet pepper Zarnitsa, Dar of the Caspian Sea and Atomor differed in the growing season: the earliest was the Zarnitsa variety. With the seedling method of cultivation, the ripening period is 123 days, with the seedless method – 116 days. The Atomor variety has a longer maturation period – from 145 to 137 days. The Dar Caspian variety occupied an intermediate position. Yield and quality depend on the duration of the growing season, cultivation technology, varieties. The highest yield was noted at the first harvest: depending on the variety, it varied from 43.3 to53.6 t/ha. The output of finished products with the seedless method of cultivation came a few days later than in the seedling culture.

Conclusions. To create a long conveyor receipt of the harvest of fresh products, it is necessary to use varieties of different maturation periods in a combination of seedling and seedless growing methods.
