Any gardener who plants peppers on his plot strives to get a bountiful harvest of this tasty and nutritious vegetable. But not everyone is successful in this matter.
To understand the reasons for this, you should familiarize yourself with the key principles that really contribute to a bountiful pepper harvest.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to grow a rich harvest of peppers.
Landscape designers and agricultural experts identify three key principles.
Choosing the Right Plant Variety
Of primary importance is the selection of a pepper variety that suits the specific characteristics of the local environment.
Some varieties grow well in consistently warm climates with a certain level of humidity, making them suitable for growing in warm climates or greenhouses.
The optimal choice is early varieties, since they are more adaptable to possible temperature fluctuations.
Meeting deadlines
Growing peppers requires careful control over timing.
Planting should be done when the soil temperature reaches at least 16 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the ideal age of seedlings is 70 days.
Selecting the optimal landing site
Pepper is extremely "capricious" when it comes to choosing a planting site. In addition to fertility, the soil must have a neutral pH level. Sufficient lighting is crucial for the normal development of the vegetable.
By carefully following these three fundamental principles, you can increase your chances of getting a bountiful pepper harvest.
