More about Yalova Yaglik

Capsicum annuum

Yalova Yaglik is a Turkish variety bred at the Atatürk Central Horticultural Research Institute in Yalova, Turkey.  The Yalova Institute has introduced many new pepper varieties over the years, and we've been very impressed with every cultivar we've tried. Yalova Yaglik produces large, tapered sweet peppers suitable for frying (yaglik translates to "oil") or for any recipe that calls for bell peppers.  This is a large, very productive plant. Branches often grow out of the top of cages and droop to the ground once loaded with peppers.  Space them accordingly, we allow 2ft in all directions.  Approximately 75 days from transplant.  Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.

How to Grow Sweet Peppers

Peppers perform best in well-drained soil that contains plenty of organic matter and adequate phosphorous and calcium. Mulching plants with poly, paper, or natural materials will ensure consistent moisture throughout the root zone.

For earliest harvest, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds 1/4" deep in well moistened, sterile seed-starting mix. The ideal temperature for pepper seed germination is 85 degrees. For best results, place a grower's heat mat beneath trays until germination has occurred. Under ideal conditions, germination should occur in 10-14 days.

After danger of frost has passed, set transplants 18-24" apart in rows 24-36" apart. Ensure that plants receive 1-2" of water per week. Avoid over-application of nitrogen as this can cause vegetative growth at the expense of fruit set.

Insect Pests

Biological controls such as Bacillus thuringiensis can be effective in controlling climbing cutworms. Aphids, flea beetles, and other hard-shelled insects can be controlled with a simple homemade insecticidal soap solution.

Diseases & Other Problems

To prevent common pepper diseases like Phytopthora and bacterial spot, avoid watering plants at night or on cool, cloudy days. Excess nitrogen and/or insufficient phosphorous can cause pepper plants to become bushy and produce few blossoms.

Peppers can be harvested at any time, but should be picked before they become soft or overly mature. Harvesting regularly will encourage further fruit set. Peppers can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.

CONSIDERATIONS:

Select disease-free plants that are true-to-type. Pepper plants are prone to cross pollination by bees, so precautions should be taken to prevent pollination by insects. Covering plants with mosquito netting is an effective method to protect against pollen contamination.

HARVESTING SEED:

Harvest mature, disease-free fruit that have developed their final color. Cut open fruit and use a gloved hand to remove the seed. Dry on a coffee filter or paper towel. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

SEED LONGETIVITY:

Pepper seeds will remain viable for three years when stored under ideal conditions.

Hi Murat, thanks for your review. I'm sorry that you did not have good luck with your pepper seeds. Recent germination tests showed good results for all of these varieties (Yalova Yaglik: 100%; Sweet Sivri: 80%; Surmeli: 92%; Corbaci: 91%) however it is possible that something happened in transit, especially since the germ rates you experienced were consistently poor. Also, the most common cause of poor germ in peppers is cool, wet soil. Peppers prefer soil temps around 95 degrees for germination. I would recommend using a heat mat and a plastic dome and watering only as needed (or not at all for the first week if using a dome). As we are sold out of most of these for the year, I am unable to send replacements, however I will be issuing store credit so you can try them again next year.

Thanks,
Becky
