Gardeners claim that with the help of simple fertilizer you can significantly increase the pepper harvest if you apply it in the second half of August.
At this time, vegetables continue to actively ripen, new ovaries appear, but the nights become cooler.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to increase the yield of peppers.
The second half of August is the last wave of the pepper harvest, and it is important to support the process, regardless of whether the peppers are grown in a greenhouse or in open ground.
Feeding peppers in a greenhouse
Fertilizing is carried out here once every 10 days.
It is recommended to spray with calcium nitrate. The solution is prepared from 10 grams of fertilizer per 10 liters of water.
Root feeding is carried out with a solution of potassium nitrate (10 g per 10 l of water) on damp soil.
