10 mistakes when growing sweet pepper

1. Too fast

Rush with landing impossible. Planting plants in the open ground before the temperature reaches 20-25° C will delay development and take a small crop. Planting earlier is possible only under the film and in greenhouses.

2. A little light

In the shadow of peppers to fade, begin to elongate and fall from the wind. Fruit they in this condition not knotted. To the peppers did not suffer from lack of light, they even put less often – not closer than 25 cm from each other and at least 60 cm between the rows.



3. Better – smaller, deeper

The pepper, like trees, have a root collar. So deeply to plant it. Planting should be exactly the same as it grew in the nursery. It is very important in the seedling period to avoid pulling the pepper plants. Stretched seedlings fail to put lying, like tomatoes. Pepper thrown not below the cotyledon leaves.

4. Support will come in handy

Despite the fact that close-set the peppers themselves support each other from progibanija to the earth, they still need to tie up. Otherwise in the rain with the wind percina flocks – so much so that the roots will turn out.
Garter is compulsory for all classes, and especially for hybrids, characterized by strong growth. Emergency garter is required when a branch breaks at a light touch to them.

5. Not cucumber, but still...

Transplant the peppers carry is better than cucumber, but also very painful, and survive for a long time. To keep maximum roots are not damaged, fit is necessary to perform the method of handling of cups, where the peppers grow. Recommended even give up the pick, not to damage the roots.

6. Neither heat nor cold, nor moisture nor drought

Pepper is afraid of the cool and... heat. Already at temperatures above 35° C, the flowers fall off. The pepper loves water, but does not tolerate flooding. Overdo it with the watering – in the same way there will be no flowers, and ovaries, and with little watering. Drizzle the peppers have, like cucumbers, little and often. This will bring down the temperature and allow to obtain large fruit.
By the way, pepper is better all crops respond well to drip irrigation.

7. Deeply to loosen dangerous

Despite the occurrence of shallow roots, peppers have loosened every 2 weeks. Loosen them shallow, just a couple of inches. If damage to the root, the plant will wither and die or just take off all the flowers and ovaries.
To get rid of such dangerous work you can, if you mulch the planting of pepper, sawdust, pine needles or straw with a minimum thickness of 7-10 cm

8. Feeding mandatory

Peppers have an empty space inside, but to feed them, if they are full. Feeding in the open ground made once in 1-1,5 weeks. Peppers love nitrogen and potassium and less phosphorus. However, an excess of fertilizer the plants do not tolerate. Definitely need to comply with the measure and in any case do not add fresh manure: there will be rotten fruit.

9. Pollination does not hurt

Peppers are self – pollinating plant, but, as practice shows, and possibly cross-pollination of the growing number of different varieties. This happens with insects. It was noticed long ago – if the area planted several varieties of pepper, the harvest always turns out better.

10. Prevent diseases and pests

To prevent diseases you need one or two times per season to handle landing any preparation containing copper. It is necessary to monitor the emergence of diseases in time and treating plants from aphids and mites.published
