Pepper is one of the most popular garden crops.
However, not every summer resident who grows this plant manages to get a lot of large, aromatic and juicy fruits.
Some gardeners lose their harvest entirely.
In many cases, such a negative result is explained by the introduction of one fertilizer that is dangerous for the vegetable crop.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, spoke about a product that poses a huge threat to the pepper harvest.
What you shouldn't feed peppers with
Any fertilizer that contains chlorine is dangerous for plants.
Pepper is very “afraid” of this microelement.
The fact is that the popular garden crop does not tolerate chlorine well.
The result may be a complete stop in the growth and development of peppers. Serious problems with fruits and leaf blades may arise.
A complete loss of the harvest cannot be ruled out.
In addition, the summer resident should be aware of such a dangerous consequence as the slow leaching of chlorine from the soil.
It is also worth emphasizing that excess nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus can negatively affect the condition of pepper. But it is chlorine that poses the greatest danger to the plant.
