Second-generation hybrids - will sow the seeds of peppers from the shops

Rich harvest of peppers depends not only on nutrient soil, weather conditions and care of bushes, but also from originally grown seedlings. And for this she must be strong, powerful and healthy. Often sow the seeds of peppers store (buy vegetables and fruit straight from the clean fresh seeds for planting), and, as a rule, is the first generation hybrids. And sown the seeds of the second generation of hybrids grow. Therefore seedlings may differ significantly from each other.

How do we determine those signs by which plants show good economic indicators?

Let's start with seeding

Thickened crops do not need to evenly distribute the seeds over the surface. This is one of the important conditions for obtaining any strong seedling peppers. In dense plantation between the plants begin to compete for light, water and food. Peppers are drawn.

In sweet pepper leaves are larger and more powerful than the seedlings than the bitter (leaves sharper).

rejection

Before sparring peppers in separate cups to choose the strongest and most healthy-looking plants.

Seeds were sown at one time, but the seedlings together may differ significantly. In some plants have already appeared well-developed true leaves, while others only opened cotyledons (only one can emerge cotyledonary leaf, and a plant can no longer be used on the seedlings, because they will not be normal development, meaning it is not dive).

At the pick select the most high plant with broad real leaves, which quickly went to the growth and ahead of other peppers. This is precisely the seedlings will give a rich harvest.

Only when the first true leaves of the seedlings can be judged on health, at this time there are viral diseases (eg, tobacco mosaic virus).

All other plants are simply discarded. To do this, we selected a strong seedlings, and improper remains in the tank and then discarded. No need to feel sorry for her, because it is important to get a powerful bushes with large peppers.

Features picks

Transplant seedlings store peppers virtually no different from the plants grown from the seeds of the box. Containers must be chosen such that the plants have enough volume of soil before planting in the ground (but if there is no appropriate dishes that can be planted in small cups, and then in the container raspikirovat more). Purchase ground mix better with turf soil, sand and ashes. So it will be more economical.

If you are using an pochvosmesi cheap peat mixture from the top of peat, as a rule, it has a high acidity. Therefore, it is necessary to add a little bit of ash, which played havoc ground.

Soil should throw boiling water for disinfection and then cooled down on the ground to decompose cups. Next you need to get healthy seedlings on the above grounds with a fork or a pointed stick. Spine better shorten by one-third. When swordplay bury the seedling is not necessary. After planting, the plants watered and put on the windowsill.

Reliable selection of the second generation of hybrids to get a good harvest, and correctly pikiruete seedlings.
