Fruits are cubic in shape with prominent sectors, in technical ripeness of dark green color, in biological ripeness - orange-red. They can weigh up to 150 g, wall thickness up to 9 mm. The pulp is firm, crispy, juicy, with a characteristic peppery taste and aroma. The variety is high-yielding, up to 20 fruits can ripen on one bush. Planting scheme - 4-5 plants per square meter.

Agrotechnics

Seeds should be planted in the second half of February, after pretreating them with a solution of copper sulfate or potassium permanganate, in a small container. It is advisable to plant 2-3 pieces. In the case of germination of all seeds in the container, the most powerful plant is selected, others are removed or transplanted into other containers. The germination rate of fresh seeds reaches 85%. A pick (transplant) should be carried out after the plant has five true leaves.

Pepper is transplanted to a permanent place of growth when the average daily temperature reaches 13-15 degrees, this is approximately mid-May. Shorokshary pepper gives a good and stable yield both in greenhouses and in the open field. 10 days after transplanting into the garden, the plants must be fed with phosphorus-nitrogen fertilizers (1 heaped tablespoon per 10 liters of water). As the pepper grows, all the lower leaves are removed before the first division of the trunk. Flowers are also removed from the fork (in case you want to get seed, one flower is left at the first fork and seeds are collected from the ripe fruit).

With mass flowering, the plant must be fed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. So that the inflorescences do not fall off and fruit set occurs en masse, the pepper is treated with 1 solution of boric acid or borax on the leaf. When growing pepper, you should not forget about constant watering and loosening the earth. To increase the rate of growth and ripening of the set fruits, it is necessary to break off all the flowering tops of the plant.

Harvesting usually takes place at the end of August. Ripe fruits are folded into boxes and placed in a dark and cool place, where they can be stored without changing the appearance and taste for more than 2 months.
