For midland and more northern areas where landing of pepper goes mainly to greenhouses and hotbeds, it is better to choose grades of early and average terms of maturing. It is necessary to take seeds before crops on seedling a little in light pink solution of permanganate of potassium – it will saturate them with important microelements, in particular manganese, and will protect from early diseases.
Prepare the earth for seedling not too rich with nutrients. Ideal ratio of the garden earth and humus 60:40. Richer soil will lead to fast growth of elevated part of pepper, and the root system will develop more weakly. In the future it can affect productivity.
It is possible to bring several grams of double superphosphate in the prepared earth, and here you should not introduce nitrogenous fertilizers for the reason described above. Sow in advance wetted seeds in the holes located in chessboard order at distance not less than 5-7 cm from each other.
To grow up good pepper, already at this stage it is important to provide daylight hours, sufficient on duration. Pepper – photophilous culture as soon as the first shoots appear, needs to be provided to seedling uniform lighting.
In phase of 2-3 real leaves seedling of pepper should be dived and seated in separate pots. For them prepare the earth by the same principle, as for seeds, with only that difference that instead of superphosphate add potash fertilizers. They are necessary for forming of future buds.
Except light, also the water mode is important. Water pepper seedling in morning or evening hours, avoiding day watering, especially at bright sun. Water has to be room temperature better defended, that is, gathered the day before. Do not use it all – at the bottom of capacity there is concentration of chemical impurity inherent in tap water.
To plant plants to the open ground, the greenhouse or hotbed follows after threat of spring frosts. For different regions the terms will be various as reference point for the central region – the first of June. To grow up good pepper, by preparation of the soil bring humus (fresh manure is not recommended to be brought extremely) and also potash fertilizers. Make holes at distance about 35-50 cm from each other, it is abundant water, and then place in each hole pepper bush so that when burying not to bury point of growth of leaves. Powder with the earth, stamp and again water. The second watering helps to settle to the soil, therefore, the root system will not have emptiness, and at you good pepper will grow.
You carry out the first fertilizing not earlier than in 2 weeks. It can be infusion of the fermented weeds or the mix containing humic acids. The following fertilizing – when fruits will begin to be tied actively. Best of all ashes or other potash fertilizer will approach.
At weak formation of fruits it is recommended to put on beds or in greenhouses of container with the sweetened water. It will attract insects pollinators. It is better to remove the first fruits in phase of technical ripeness. Thus you will increase the probability of formation of bigger number of ovaries, respectively, the harvest of pepper will be higher.
