While some summer residents annually collect large harvests of pepper, for others this is an unrealizable dream.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the reason is that the former organize optimal nutrition of plants, starting from the moment of sowing and ending with the end of the growing season.

If you want to be among the “winners”, we suggest you use the following fertilizing scheme.

1. 2-3 weeks before planting the peppers, thoroughly fertilize the beds with organic compounds (you can use anything except fresh manure).

2. On the day of planting, add one tablespoon of urea to each square of the beds.

3. Until the first fruit forms, fertilize the peppers with green fertilizer every week. To prepare the solution, you will need to dilute 2 liters of concentrate in 10 liters of water.

There is another option - 1 tablespoon of urea and 0.5 tablespoon of potassium monophosphate diluted in 10 liters of water.

4. The next fertilizer in line is a solution of 1 tablespoon of monopotassium phosphate and 1 teaspoon of urea per bucket of water.

Instead of urea, 0.5 liters of green fermentation solution will do.

5. When the fruits from the first tier are removed, repeat points 3 and 4. To stimulate the formation of buds and ovaries of the second wave, it is worth spraying with such preparations as "Gulliver" or "Stimul".
