In the final third of summer, many summer residents want to extend the fruiting of peppers.

Owners of a country plot want the crop to bear fruit before the frost.

Do you think it is impossible to achieve such a result? It turns out that it is possible!

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told about one interesting August reception.

What to do with peppers in August

We are talking about leaf blades in poor condition, as well as leaves under the fruits.

In addition, it makes sense to remove excess ovaries and stepsons.

It is also advisable to rid the garden crop of those lateral shoots that are located too low.

All of the above procedures must be performed once every 5 days.

It is advisable to carry out the “operation” in the morning hours and in clear weather.

If everything is done correctly, the garden crop will “direct its energy” primarily to further fruit formation.

Important: do not try to remove all the extra plates at once. Within one procedure, it is worth removing a maximum of three leaves.
