All garden crops need nutrients. Bell peppers are no exception.

It is impossible to get a good harvest of this vegetable without replenishing the deficiency of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus in the soil.

It is advisable to add both mineral fertilizers (urea, superphosphate, potassium sulfate, etc.) and “organic” fertilizers (manure, compost).

However, timely fertilizing of peppers does not guarantee a high yield of the crop.

To collect a lot of tasty vegetables, you need to periodically carry out another procedure.

Procedure for increasing pepper yield

The plant is unlikely to grow and develop quickly and fully if the gardener ignores the importance of regular soil cultivation.

The soil around the garden crop should be loosened quite often.

This action will ensure that enough air and water enters the soil.

In addition, frequent loosening is a guarantee that the soil will not become crusted. This means that there will be no barrier: the pepper root system will receive everything it needs (moisture, oxygen, nutrients).
