Pepper variety Eroshka

The high-yielding pepper variety Eroshka was created by employees of the MANUL Selection and Seed Production Company in 2003. The company is the manufacturer and originator of the variety.

Description of the bush

The sweet pepper variety has a compact, semi-standard bush, 30-50 cm high. The plant is determinate, closed. The leaf is bright green, medium in size, slightly wrinkled. The fruits are located drooping on the stem.

Ripening time

The variety is classified as early ripening; to obtain fruits of technical ripeness it will take from 95 to 110 days (from the moment of emergence). It will take 120 to 130 days to reach biological ripeness.

Description of fruits

The shape is tetrahedral, slightly ribbed, cuboid. Technically mature peppers have a glossy, light green surface, becoming orange-red as they ripen. Weight reaches from 140 to 180 g, dimensions: length 9-10 cm, cross-sectional diameter 7-8 cm.

Pepper yield

Wall thickness is from 5 to 6 mm. Number of slots 3 or 4.

The load of fruits is high; up to 16 fruits can be set on one plant. The yield per bush is from 2.5 to 3 kg. Up to 4.8 kg of marketable fruit can be harvested per square meter.

The harvest ripens together.

Where and how to grow

Pepper variety Eroshka can be grown in open ground and greenhouses. In open ground, 10 to 12 plants can be planted per 1 sq.m. When planting using a compacted strip method, the distance between the bushes can be 15 - 20 cm.

In greenhouses, Eroshka can be used as a sealant for peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants of indeterminate varieties.

Growing in open ground

The planting bed should be well lit.

The best soil for the crop is considered to be light loamy or sandy loam containing humus and nutrients. Excess nitrogen is not allowed; it makes the pepper “fatten”, grows stems and leaves, but does not produce a harvest.

Recommended soil acidity is from 6 to 6.6 pH, ideal - 6.4 pH. Slightly acidic soils reduce yields; in strongly acidic soils, the plant itself develops poorly.

Before digging, organic fertilizers are added to the soil - compost or humus, from 7 to 10 kg per 1 sq.m. During the growing season, fertilized chicken manure is fed.

Mineral fertilizers include:

  • urea;
  • superphosphate;
  • potassium sulfate.

Doses of applied fertilizers are determined depending on the type of soil.

Growing in greenhouses and open ground

Care should be taken when introducing:

  • nitrogen fertilizers and manure;
  • chlorine-containing substances;
  • potassium electrolyte and other potassium substances.

Wood ash can be added to any type of fertilizer in small quantities.

Compliance with crop rotation

To reduce the incidence of plant diseases, the principles of crop rotation should be followed. It is not recommended to plant peppers after tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants. The best predecessors are onions, cucumbers and zucchini, legumes.

Planting after early cabbage is acceptable.

Zoning

The variety is included in the State Register of the Russian Federation as recommended for cultivation under film cover in garden plots and farms.

Recommended growing regions:

  • Volgo-Vyatsky;
  • Central;
  • Central Chernozem;
  • Northwestern and Northern;
  • Middle Volga; North Caucasian.

Care instructions

Pepper is not particularly capricious, but to get a good harvest you will need:

  • systematically water the plants with warm water;
  • remove weeds from the beds;
  • periodically loosen the soil.

Caring for bell peppers

Growing in greenhouses requires ensuring high-quality ventilation of the room, preventing excessive watering and stagnation of water in the beds.

Disease resistance

The creators of the Eroshka pepper variety managed to instill in it high resistance to diseases:

  • verticillium;
  • blossom end rot, which appears as brown spots on stems, leaves, and fruits;
  • tobacco mosaic virus.

Features of the plant

Unlike other varieties, Eroshka can withstand air temperature drops down to +12 +14 degrees C, and even in such conditions it continues to form ovaries.

Advantages

The value of the Eroshka pepper variety is:

  • in early and friendly harvest ripening;
  • in large-fruited, fleshy and high-tasting fruits;
  • high resistance to cold.

Use in cooking

The fruits of Eroshka pepper have an attractive appearance and high taste.

I planted the Eroshka pepper variety on the recommendation of my neighbor in the country. Because there is not much space for garden beds. I used the compact planting method, approximately 20 cm between bushes. I planted the seedlings in May, the weather was still cool, but the seedlings turned out to be a little overgrown. 10-14 ovaries were formed on each bush. The peppers are thick-walled and aromatic. I'm happy with the harvest.

I bought seedlings of the Eroshka pepper variety from a friend who runs greenhouses and grows seedlings for sale. I liked the compactness of the bushes, not tall, not spread out. There were a lot of ovaries, all the peppers were ripe, I waited until they turned red. The taste is good, it was used for making salads, and used for the winter. I liked the variety and will plant it again.

We grew Eroshka pepper seedlings ourselves from seeds, and the harvest was a glorious one. The only thing is that when transplanting into the ground the pepper became a little sick, but maybe it’s their own fault, they did something wrong. I didn’t have much experience in growing peppers. Used for stuffing. Delicious, aromatic, bright.
