Pepper Health

The 'Health' pepper variety is an early-maturing, universal sweet type, primarily intended for cultivation in greenhouses, including polyethylene and glass-covered structures. The time to technical maturity is 78-87 days from emergence. The plant features a semi-spreading bush reaching 140-170 cm in height, ensuring ease of care and harvest. Fruits have a prismatic shape with a drooping apex and slightly wavy surface, measuring 8.5-12 cm in length and 5-6.4 cm in diameter, weighing 33-41 g. The flesh thickness is 3-4 mm, which gives the fruits excellent flavor.

The 'Health' pepper exhibits high fruit set even under insufficient lighting, making it especially valuable for cultivation in northern regions. At technical maturity, the fruits are light green, and at biological maturity, they turn bright red, indicating full ripeness and readiness for consumption. The variety is resistant to blossom-end rot, enhancing its reliability and fruit quality. The recommended planting scheme is 40 x 60 cm, with an average yield of 4.0-4.6 kg per square meter.

For cultivation, seedlings should be sown at the end of February, with transplanting at the cotyledon stage, and planting in the ground at the end of May. Plant shaping includes removing side shoots and leaves up to the first fork, promoting better development of main fruits. The 'Health' pepper is suitable for fresh consumption and can be used for processing. Due to its characteristics and adaptation to the climatic conditions of northern regions, this variety is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an early and high-quality harvest.
