Sharp change of weather is extremely undesirable to all plants. The pepper landed to the open ground demand the careful address and protection, especially at rainy and cold weather.
Pepper have superficial root system and are very sensitive both to overheating, and to fall of temperature. At temperature below 12 wasps the roots stop the work. If the soil long time has low temperatures, then roots at pepper die off. Especially pepper suffers at approach of rainy and cold weather. Long stay of plants in the open ground without additional shelters leads to diseases, plants cannot long restore work of roots. Time is missed, and with it and hopes for good harvest are lost.
How to protect pepper from stress and to keep harvest?
The first that needs to be undertaken is to cover plants with film from cold precipitation. At low temperatures it is possible to throw over plants nonwoven ukryvny material. If there is opportunity, then it is better to grow up pepper in combined tunnels from arches. They can be removed or put again at any time.
All fertilizing in the period of cold weather should be stopped. At approach of sunny warm days it is necessary to help plants to adapt from the postponed stress. Fertilizing on leaves soluble fertilizers with microelements in chelate form with addition of epin in such situation will do good to pepper and plants will quickly restore forces.
It is possible to apply such structure: to part one ampoule of the tsitovit (siliplant) in 1.5 l to bottle with water and to add couple of drops of epin. Spray with solution all plants in the morning at sunny weather, or at any time in cloudy weather. But late at night it is better not to do such processings. It is important that solution was well absorbed and plants have dried till the evening. Week later it is possible to start nutritious fertilizing at the roots.
Such effective extra root fertilizing will be useful also to other needing plants, especially thermophilic (cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, etc.).
