Varieties of peppers for a polycarbonate greenhouse are selected both early and late. The main thing is to comply with all care requirements in order to get a high-quality crop.
The best grades of pepper for polycarbonate greenhouses
Features of polycarbonate greenhouses
Recently, polycarbonate is increasingly used as a material for the construction of greenhouses, since it retains heat better than glass. This is especially important if pepper is grown in a region with a changing climate.
Polycarbonate is quite flexible, this allows you to create greenhouse rooms of various shapes and types: in the form of a sphere, with a hemispherical roof, etc. Also, this building material is resistant to mechanical damage and weather conditions (strong winds, showers, degrees).
Grade selection
Careful selection of the right seeds is an important criterion for growing vegetables. For planting pepper in greenhouse conditions, it is necessary to select the seeds intended for this.
There are several features for choosing a variety:
- Growing conditions. Pay attention to the size of the greenhouse. Initially, it is determined which plant you need: short or tall.
- Ripening dates. Clarify what is needed: early or late variety. If the size of the greenhouse allows, both varieties can be purchased.
- Diseases They learn what diseases and pests vegetables are most susceptible to in the region, and select species with increased immunity to these ailments.
It is important to consider the lighting requirements of some varieties. If there is a backlight in the greenhouse, you need not worry about it, otherwise you need to install phytolamps: they give light radiation and the heat that seedlings need.
An obstacle to fertility can be not only lighting, but also the plant's belonging to another region. Even in a fully equipped greenhouse, it is impossible to grow species intended for another locality. It is best to purchase seed materials for seed.
Every autumn, it is important to clean the greenhouse. Later types of vegetables are usually dug up and transplanted into large pots to grow them at home. This method will extend the yield until mid-winter.
Hybrid and true grade
If a hybrid labeled F1 is grown in the greenhouse, it makes no sense to get seeds from it. In such plants, the fruiting qualities do not extend for several plantings. This is a disadvantage, because every year you have to buy new seeds.
But there are advantages: hybrids are good for high yields, as well as good resistance to many diseases.
The advantage of these varieties is that they can be re-grown for many years (the exact value depends on the particular variety). They are usually not whimsical to growing conditions, resistant to temperature extremes and high humidity. The main disadvantage of this variety is unstable productivity.
Features of growing pepper in a greenhouse
Stick to recommendations
Choosing the best seeds for a greenhouse, it is important to study all the features of growing plants in this way:
- The soil needs preliminary preparation before planting seedlings. Garden soil must be mixed with humus or peat and sand.
- Water comes to plants artificially (rain bays do not take part in cultivation), so the soil needs to be fed. It is fertilized 3-4 times a season.
- When planting varieties of pepper for a greenhouse, make sure that sweet and sharp self-pollinated varieties of such a vegetable do not grow near, since pollination can occur and the taste of the fruit deteriorates.
- Vegetables should be planted to a depth of at least 20 cm and 40 cm apart.
At least 1-2 windows must be made in a polycarbonate greenhouse; in hot weather, it must be ventilated so that the plants do not dry out. The vegetable is sensitive to high temperature and dry air, and if agricultural technology is disturbed, even the best varieties of salad pepper for the greenhouse will not yield a quality crop.

Peppers can be damaged by Colorado or May beetles, aphids. It is necessary to protect the greenhouse plant exclusively with the biological preparations Fitoverm and Lepidocide.
