A stupid mistake that causes summer residents to lose up to 80% of their pepper harvest: here is the secret to increased productivity
Growing any garden or horticultural crop is associated with certain nuances.
When it comes to peppers, most farmers are tormented by one question: should they remove the first flower that appears on the fork of the pepper (it is also called the crown flower).
Some farmers believe that the crown flower only drains the pepper of its strength and resources.
While other growers are convinced that pruning will become a source of stress for the crop and will slow down its development.
To help you make the right decision for yourself, here are some facts.
The crown flower, if left, will actually take away energy that could go towards developing the bush and making it more spreading.
And considering the fact that the more lush the pepper is, the more fruits it produces, the connection between the first flower and the harvest you will receive becomes clear.
It is worth starting to remove the crown flower when the pepper is still small - this procedure will not affect the development of the bush in any way.
