There is an opinion that the first application of fertilizers allows you to make an important contribution to the development of peppers.

However, not everyone knows what nutrients need to be added and when, so serious mistakes can be made.

If you want the pepper to receive all the elements necessary for development, then you should remember about high-quality fertilizing, which is applied approximately 14 days after planting. The expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh believes that there is a simple way to determine the right time for applying fertilizer: the crop should give its first leaf after transplantation.

What kind of fertilizer is considered the highest quality and most suitable?

In order for pepper to develop fully, it is worth making a high-quality complex fertilizer yourself. To do this, put one and a half spoons of urea, two large spoons of superphosphate into a bucket and add just one spoon of any source of potassium.

After you have mixed the product, you will need to use one glass of the prepared mixture for each bush.
