Growing technology

The golden calf is grown in seedlings. Seedlings are planted 60 days before transplanting to places of constant growth. The optimum temperature for seed germination is +28 degrees. When the first leaves appear on seedlings, they are transplanted into separate small containers - cups.

The main stages of the growing process:

1. Transplanting young plants to places where they will constantly grow. In open ground, seedlings are planted at the end of the frost, when the frost has not finally returned. In greenhouse and greenhouse conditions, this period falls in the spring: late April - early May. The plant does not like the transplant procedure and may temporarily stop growing.
2. Planting is carried out in two rows with a distance between them of about 50 cm. From one plant to another, the distance is maintained at 45 cm. Plant roots do not need to be deepened, they rarely give lateral shoots. The depth of the pit is equal to the depth at which the seedling grew in a glass.
3. Preparation of collections for future bushes. They grow powerful, but under the weight of a large number of ripened large fruits can bend to the ground.
4. The formation of a bush by removing stepsons up to the first fork.
5. Thinning ovaries. To get large-sized fruits, no more than two ovaries are left in one bunch.
6. Peppers are harvested when they become greenish yellow to ripe orange.
7. Before flowering, plants are treated with infusion of garlic or a special remedy Fitosporin. This will prevent the possibility of their disease.

Pepper is not difficult to grow and care, it is enough to follow simple agricultural rules and take preventive measures to prevent the development of diseases to which the plant is exposed.
