In the last days of August, many summer residents have a desire to extend the fruiting of peppers.
After all, you want to pick vegetables all September long.
Fortunately, it is possible to achieve such a result. You just need to help the garden crop form fruits during the cold period.
It is enough to spray the plant with drops of a product that probably all summer residents know about.
An important recommendation was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Fertilizer to prolong pepper fruiting
It is no secret to any gardener that at the end of summer the soil in the pepper bed is depleted.
This causes problems with fruit formation. In addition, serious illnesses may appear.
In order for the garden crop to still be able to bear fruit before the onset of serious frosts, it is necessary to replenish the calcium deficiency.
A remedy such as calcium nitrate (0.2 percent solution) will help.
A good alternative is potassium chelate (50 milliliters per bucket of water).
It is enough to spray the pepper bushes with any of these liquids.
You can spray the plant with drops of a product prepared as follows: 2 teaspoons of superphosphate per 10 liters of plain water.
Important point: simultaneous use of calcium nitrate and superphosphate is unacceptable. In this case, the plant will be seriously harmed.
