Many summer residents are sure that pepper is a rather capricious crop and, in order for the harvest to really please, you will have to put in a lot of effort.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh counters: if you follow agricultural technology and all recommendations, it is easy to get a lot of large and juicy fruits.
One of the operations that should not be neglected is bush formation.
The rules for carrying out the procedure are not complicated. First of all, it is worth noting that the shoots should be removed as early as possible, not allowing them to develop.
Otherwise, if you remove a large number of shoots at once, the plant may simply die.
The right time for pruning and pinching is a dry and windless day, when the cuts dry quickly and the plant is not damaged.
If you carry out shaping in wet weather or after irrigation (spraying), the risk of disease infection increases.
Finally. A few words about fattening shoots. This name was given to shoots of sufficient size without flowers and ovaries, they should be ruthlessly removed - fattening shoots only deprive the plant of nutrients and strength.
