To get a large and tasty harvest of pepper, you need to take care of the seedlings in advance. When growing pepper seedlings, you need to correctly determine the sowing time, pre-sowing seed treatment, prepare the necessary container and soil.
Growing and care
Peppers are a very thermophilic culture, so choose a sunny spot. But this alone will not be enough for a good yield. The culture has a very long and extended vegetative period, therefore, it is not advisable to plant seeds directly in open ground even in warm regions.
It is recommended to pre-germinate the culture. To do this, you need to prepare containers and seedlings. The soil for the boxes can be purchased at the store or prepared by yourself. In the second case, it is also necessary to ignite the ground in order to get rid of insect larvae or fungal diseases.
The seeds are first soaked in warm water and the material that has floated is removed. Further, all seeds are treated with a solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection. Then you can soak them in gauze soaked in growth stimulants.
Small trenches with a depth of 1-2 cm are made in seedling boxes. The seeds are sown at a distance of 3-5 cm. After that, the containers are closed either with glass or foil and removed to a warm and dry place. After the seedlings hatch, the film can be removed.
Since peppers love sunlight, it is best to use a UV lamp in addition. Daylight hours should be from 14 to 16 hours. The first pick is carried out in the presence of 2-4 strong leaves. The second pick will be carried out directly into the ground. You can irrigate young bushes 1-2 times a week, provided that the soil dries well between waterings. You can fertilize with growth stimulants or nitrogen. Top dressing is applied in liquid form.
If the seedlings are improperly grown before planting in open ground, several problems can be encountered that are very difficult to fix. For example, blackleg is a fungal disease that appears from over-watering or due to the fact that the soil has not been disinfected. There may still be a delayed development. This means that the dive was carried out incorrectly: the root system was touched and damaged. This can also happen when loosening the soil. It is possible to transplant sprouts into open ground if there are 8-10 true leaves, and the seedlings themselves should reach a length of 17-20 cm.
The site must be dug up in advance so that all the useful minerals introduced can saturate the ground. Before planting, holes are formed, and growth stimulants can be poured into them. Next to the hole, it is worth driving in a peg, to which a bush will be tied at first. This is to ensure that the plant does not lean to the ground and grows straight up.
Crop care will consist in simple agronomic moments that should not be neglected.
- Watering. Pepper is considered to be a crop that will tolerate drought more easily than excess water. Therefore, the procedure can be carried out every 10 days. And in a dry, dry summer, you need to focus on the drying of the soil.
- Top dressing. The culture is very fond of any types of dressing, reacts positively to them. Mineral and natural fertilizers are best suited. Potassium and phosphorus first, followed by nitrogen. From natural, bird droppings, infusion of nettle or dandelion leaves are suitable.
- The formation of a bush is necessary if there is an active ejection of stepchildren.
To harvest a tasty and rich harvest of pepper, you need to comply with all the conditions of agricultural technology, and proper care begins with planting plants. Before planting pepper in open ground, it should be prepared. It is also important to take care of the seedlings and planting space in advance.
For good growth of pepper bushes and active fruiting, you need to regularly apply mineral and organic fertilizing to the soil. It is necessary not only to choose the right formulations, but also to use them at the right stage in the development of culture.The frequency of top dressing is always individual. It depends directly on the composition of the land on your site. The poorer the soil composition, the more often you will need to feed the pepper.
Pepper is one of the most common vegetables in home gardens. This culture is quite stable and unpretentious. However, under certain conditions, this plant can suffer from infections and harmful insects. Before treating peppers for diseases or pests, you need to find out the cause of the problem, otherwise the treatment may be ineffective.
