- Pepper, water, watering can, fertilizers.
Instruction
1. For a start It should be noted that pepper is exacting to moderate soil moisture: without overdrying and without overwetting. For implementation of this requirement water pepper 2 times a week. And at very hot weather is even more often. The best time for watering - earlier morning or evening when the sun not too shows the activity. It is better to water often, but it is not too abundant as roots of pepper do not transfer drying of the soil even during small period of time. At lack of moisture you will notice that trunks have begun to stiffen.
2. If to pereuvlazhnit pepper, its roots will become thin, small, dry. The big excess of water will lead to the fact that on the earth there will be slugs who very much love pepper. Thus, the harvest will be spoiled. In addition, the excessive humidity promotes emergence on the earth of such disease as black leg. In the beginning the stalk of pepper blackens at root, then is exhausted and falls: the plant perishes. Be attentive, the disease develops promptly, for couple of days.
3. To interfere with drying of the soil and also to reduce difference of daytime and night time temperature, zamulchiruyta the earth peat, sawdust or hay. Mulch layer: 5-10 cm. By means of it you also protect the soil from formation of crust, and roots from overheating. After peregnivaniye the mulch will serve for pepper as fertilizer.
4. Combine fertilizing with watering of pepper. However application of fertilizers does not have to be more often than once in 2-3 weeks. Use both organic, and mineral fertilizing. You part bird's dung and mullein with water in the ratio 1:15. Carry out fertilizing by these fertilizers at the beginning of growth of pepper. During blossoming and infructescence carry out extra root fertilizing by ashes infusion (1-2 glasses on 10 liters of water). Ashes are easily replaced with microfertilizers: you bring them according to the instruction. Nitrogen fertilizers are extremely useful to pepper, but be not fond of them as increase in green material inevitably involves decrease in harvest.
