Peppers can be called one of the most popular crops. However, this crop is demanding in care, and even a minor mistake can lead to a lack of a good harvest.
Therefore, it is worth remembering a few tips that you should definitely follow during cultivation.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to act correctly in such a situation.
Mulching with straw
If we talk about mulching, this method is one of the best. Mulching can be done with straw, non-woven and other materials.
Mulch is key for peppers because it helps retain moisture in the soil, which is very important for normal plant growth.
Regular fertilization with organic fertilizers
Organic fertilizers are another important ingredient for a successful pepper harvest.
There is no point in talking about normal pepper growth if fertilizers are not applied. It is better to give preference to fertilizers based on phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.
Creating a microclimate
Gardeners also note the importance of creating an optimal microclimate for pepper plants. This includes protection from wind, regulating humidity, and providing sufficient lighting.
Plant support
Supports or supports for pepper plants play an important role in ensuring stable growth and protection against stem breakage under the weight of the fruits. Of course, supports should only be made if the pepper bushes are large.
Constant care and attention
But the most important secret to a successful pepper harvest remains constant care and attention to the plants.
Regular watering, weeding, and pest and disease control will help maintain health and a bountiful harvest.
