Not all summer residents carry out the step-sonning of peppers, as they believe that this procedure does not bring much benefit.
However, these are premature conclusions.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh believes that pinching out the side shoots of sweet peppers may be the best solution.
What are the benefits of the procedure?
It is important to understand that removing some parts of the plant can always be beneficial, because the pepper will not need to waste nutrients and energy on unnecessary shoots.
As a result, the vegetable develops quickly and efficiently.
It is worth noting that thanks to pinching, the fruits become larger, sweeter and fleshier.
How to properly perform step-sonning
First of all, shoots with leaves located at the bottom of the plant are subject to removal. The procedure should be carried out as delicately as possible. If you damage the pepper, you can completely lose the harvest.
Also, you shouldn’t remove the shoots entirely - it is recommended to leave small “stumps”.
