- Disinfection. It is carried out by soaking the selected seeds in potassium permanganate. The duration of the procedure is 2-3 hours.
- Treatment. Provides for the use of stimulating compounds, which can be purchased at a specialized store.
Seeds are planted in pre-prepared peat pots around the end of February or early March. The depth of planting seeds in the container should not be more than 1 cm.
After planting the seed, the fertile mixture is watered with settled water. Next, the pots are covered with foil or glass and placed in a warm, sunny place until shoots appear. After almost 2.5 months, the seedlings are moved into the ground, about 2 weeks before planting, after hardening the culture.
Landing scheme:
- a distance of 60 cm should be kept between the rows;
- it is better to retreat between seedlings up to 40 cm;
- the immersion depth of the seedlings should be 6-7 cm.
It is better to immediately plant the sprouts in containers so as not to harm the roots.
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
Every gardener wants a high yield. This is quite possible to achieve. It is enough to follow agrotechnical recommendations.
- Watering. Young peppers should not be watered for a week after transplanting them into open ground or greenhouses. Further, watering is carried out up to 2 times a week, increasing the volume of the applied liquid during the dry period and decreasing during the rainy period.
- Top dressing. On average, peppers are fertilized no more than 4 times per season.Gardeners recommend feeding during the period of growth, flowering and fruiting of the culture. In this case, preference should be given to organics or complex compositions.
- Loosening and weeding. Both procedures are best done after watering. Then the risk of plant disease will be minimized, since pests and diseases will not reach the crop.
Pruning is also the best solution. Gardeners recommend removing deformed or infected shoots. Compliance with the basic recommendations will allow you to achieve high yields and strong immunity of the bush. Ignoring the advice will lead to a decrease in yield indicators and the possible death of the plant from external influences.
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.
