Pepper Zagrava

The 'Zagra' pepper variety is an early-maturing and heat-tolerant type, intended for fresh consumption and stuffing. The average fruit weight ranges from 120 to 150 grams, making them convenient for various culinary purposes. The variety is relatively resistant to Fusarium wilt and tip rot, enhancing its reliability during cultivation.

The plant forms a compact bush reaching 60 to 80 cm in height, well-adapted to stressful conditions. Fruits are conical in shape, with a vibrant red color and smooth, glossy skin. The flesh is dense and juicy, with a characteristic sweet taste, making this variety versatile and appealing to consumers.

For successful cultivation, seeds should be sown in seedlings 60–70 days before transplanting into the ground, sown at a depth of 1–1.5 cm at a temperature of +20…+25 °C. Transplanting should be done after the threat of frost, when soil temperature reaches +15 °C, with a recommended planting scheme of 40×40 cm. To increase yield, it is preferable to choose fertile, well-drained soils with neutral acidity.
