There are a number of precursor vegetables that make the soil more suitable for growing peppers.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, garlic, carrots, beets – this list is always continued by bell peppers. Although the plant is tender, the fruits are very valuable in cooking.
But pepper, like many other crops, needs a proper growing location. It is important to consider what plants grew before it.
Predecessor plants
Bell peppers grow well and bear fruit in the garden after cucumbers, zucchini, and squash.
The plant feels great in a plot where beans, garlic and onions were previously grown.
Previous crops do not draw out useful substances from the soil that pepper needs for development. Therefore, the soil after them is ideal for growing this plant.
Neutral plants
There is a separate list of crops that do not affect the yield of bell peppers. Therefore, if there is no free space, you can plant this plant in their place - this will not have a negative effect on the yield. These include:
- beet;
- corn;
- late cabbage;
- spices.
But in addition to successful predecessors, peppers also need care: watering, fertilizing, spraying against pests or diseases if they bother the plant.
