Feld Marshal pepper is an early-maturing, high-yielding variety suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in greenhouses. The plant is semi-spreading, reaching a height of 45 to 58 cm, with excellent fruit set. Fruits are thick-walled, averaging 67 g, with individual specimens reaching up to 350 g. In technical ripeness, they are light golden, and in biological ripeness, they are bright red, with a smooth, glossy skin and dense, juicy flesh. The flavor is sweet with a slight tang, making them ideal for fresh consumption, as well as for salads, soups, stews, and stuffing.
The Feld Marshal variety is resistant to low temperatures and diseases, allowing it to be grown under various climatic conditions. The plant prefers sunny locations with light, fertile, neutral soils and responds well to nitrogen fertilizers. For planting, it is recommended to use seedlings: seeds are sown in February into seedling trays with a soil mix at a depth of no more than 1 cm, at a temperature of 23-25°C. Seedlings are transplanted into open ground at the beginning of June with an interval of 40x40 cm. Watering should be infrequent but abundant with warm water.
Fruits of the Feld Marshal pepper are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which helps strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Up to 10 kg of yield can be harvested from one plant, making this variety attractive for gardeners seeking delicious and nutritious fruits with high productivity.
