Almost every gardener grows this capricious crop on his plot.
There is no need to talk much about the benefits of pepper - many people know about it. Sweet pepper is a source of vitamins and a powerful natural antioxidant, strengthens the immune system and is good for blood vessels.
In order for the pepper to grow juicy, large and sweet, you must avoid making primitive mistakes in care.
One of the typical mistakes is when peppers are planted in open ground too early.
If you rush to plant peppers in open beds, and the air has not warmed up to at least 20 degrees, you can expect a delay in development and a shortfall in harvest.
Greenhouses are suitable for early planting of peppers.
Peppers love water, but many literally flood the beds in the hope of getting more fruit. Excess moisture is contraindicated for peppers, as is watering with cold tap water.
Water peppers correctly using drip irrigation. This way you will be able to collect a large harvest of sweet and large fruits.
Frequent watering is justified if the soil is sandy or in hot weather, when it dries out quickly.
Incorrect application of fertilizers is detrimental to plants. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are applied once every 7-10 days in moderate quantities.
