Peppers require a lot of effort from gardeners, but the results are worth it.
To ensure that all efforts bring maximum results, gardeners do not forget about fertilizing.
There are several secrets to a rich harvest. A special place is occupied by fertilizers, which promote the active development of peppers and the formation of fruits.
Vigorous foliage and rooting
At the beginning of summer, pepper needs nitrogen fertilizing. Thanks to this macroelement, seedlings take root faster and grow powerful foliage. It is from it that nutrients will go to the fruits.
Ovary
When the ovary begins to appear on the bushes, potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are applied. In addition, spraying with a product containing calcium is carried out.
Phosphorus and potassium are responsible for the harvest. These are key macroelements for fruiting.
Calcium makes plants more resistant to blossom-end rot. If there is enough of this macronutrient, the fruits will not perish before ripening.
However, the sugar content is influenced not by feeding, but by varietal characteristics.
