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

In order for a crop to please with a good harvest, it must be germinated correctly.

Previously, the seeds should be soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate or aloe juice. Then spray with growth stimulants.The containers are only half filled with earth, since the seedlings, due to their nature, will not go deep into the ground. The soil is best mixed with sawdust and wood ash and loosened very well.

It is worth deepening by 1-2 cm, the distance between the holes is 2-3 cm.

After planting, the containers are covered with foil and removed to a warm place. It is necessary to observe not only the temperature, but also the humidity of the air inside the container, it must be at least 70%. The first seedlings will sprout in 10-12 days. After the appearance of the first leaves, a pick should be made.

Before transplanting into open ground, the seedlings must be taken outside for acclimatization. This will help the seedlings not to experience stress in the new place.

The garden is worth digging up. Experienced gardeners recommend doing this in the fall, adding useful minerals to the ground. Before planting, holes are formed, and you can pour granules of a growth stimulator into them, or simply spill everything with a solution.

Caring for young seedlings does not differ from caring for them at the time of germination.

Watering is also carried out with warm water and under the root. The plant should not be watered too abundantly, since the root system does not go deep into the ground, but grows below the surface at a depth of 10-15 cm. Therefore, frequent, but not too abundant watering is recommended.

After this procedure, you can loosen the soil, breaking dense pieces of soil and turning it over slightly. In this case, it is worth remembering about the root system in order to avoid damage to it.

Top dressing is carried out during the growing season and at the time of fruit growth.

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.

One of the most important conditions for growing healthy and strong peppers is correct and timely watering, which is necessary for active growth, rapid rooting and good fruiting of plants in a greenhouse or open field. The soil under it should not dry out. This can be achieved by following the basic recommendations. First of all, you should be guided by the weather. In addition, the phase of development of the plants is important, as well as the way the peppers are grown - in a greenhouse or in the open field.
Although pepper has a tree-like stem structure, it still needs additional support. If the peppers are not tied up, the plants will begin to lean to the ground under the weight of ripening fruits, the stem may break. Low-growing varieties, as a rule, do not need a garter. But for tall and hybrid varieties, it is necessary.
Every summer resident who decides to grow pepper on his site must learn how to form it correctly. The formation of pepper is one of the simplest and most effective agricultural techniques that allow you to extend the term and increase the fruiting of a crop.

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.

Disease and pest resistance

The most common pests of Big Girl pepper are whitefly and aphids. Small bugs gather in small flocks and suck out all the juice from the plant. They live under the leaves.Therefore, when carrying out care procedures, it is worth lifting the leaves of the plant to make sure that there are no pests. For prevention, the bushes can be sprayed with a solution of ash or milk whey.

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.
