How to feed pepper, after planting in the ground

Top dressing of pepper: briefly about the importance

Peppers are very often grown by summer residents, is it that easy? Peppers require proper care and fertilization, both in the garden and in the greenhouse. This is important for the good harvest and beauty of the peppers. What is necessary to feed the peppers after planting in the ground. Next, you will learn all about how important feeding pepper is at each stage of growth. It is important to know that peppers care depends on where they are planted.

Landing

Seedlings are planted in the ground at the very end of May, at this moment there should be a couple of flowers and at least ten leaves on the sprouts. Cover the peppers after planting, especially if you live in cooler climates. Iron arcs are usually used as shelters; polyethylene or something else is placed on top of them. The film should not seal the plants hermetically, so that there is little ventilation.

Of course, soil preparation is important, you can fertilize it with humus and nitroammophosphate. Planting holes should be at least 30 cm apart and a little more than half a meter between planting rows. The wells are moistened, sometimes with an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate. Seedlings are planted in holes and covered with earth from above. After that, the soil is trampled down.
To keep the plant warm and retain water, the earth is mulched.

How to properly care for plantings

A couple of weeks after transplanting, you need to fertilize the plants; for this, the mullein solution is suitable. In late June, the peppers bloom and grow very well. It is very important to fertilize the plants during this period. As a fertilizer, you can use ordinary ash diluted in water. Water the plant with this mixture. After three weeks, the plants are fertilized with mineral fertilizers with K and Ca. After the formation of ovaries, poorly developed fruits are cut off, this promotes the growth of normal fruits.

Correct care sequence:

1 seedlings need regular watering
2.Do not overheat the seedlings
3. The soil should be periodically loosened for better moisture supply to the plants.
4. Top dressing with K and Ca helps to protect peppers from various diseases, it is necessary
5 the same soil cannot be used for planting peppers
6. In the greenhouse, the thickness of the film must vary depending on the environmental conditions, ventilation of the plants is mandatory.

Top dressing of peppers in greenhouses

Preparation of the ground is important for peppers; the soil should be loosened, watered and well-heated by the sun. It is best to plant the peppers on the ground after the onions or carrots.

Before planting, the land should be fertilized with humus or manure. If there is no access to organic matter, you can buy replacement feeding in a special store.
It is necessary to feed the peppers 2 weeks after planting the seedlings in the ground. The next time fertilization should be carried out when the fruits begin to form on the peppers. In greenhouses, plants will be better off if they are additionally fertilized. You carefully examine the plants, often by their appearance you can understand what the plant needs.

The lack of trace elements can be understood by the change in the color of the leaves to crimson (lack of phosphorus), grayness and dullness (lack of nitrogen), the appearance of dry leaves means a lack of potassium.
If you keep a close eye on your plants, it won't be difficult to maintain proper and healthy growth.

With additional fertilization, it is important to remember that excessive fertilization can harm the plant. Medium and proper suppression of fertilization will benefit peppers. Peppers are good at carbon. To add it to the air of the greenhouse, it will be necessary to create a special container in which manure will be heated and due to this carbon will be released. The container should be half filled with water, the second with manure. This fertilization will contribute to the formation of large and healthy fruits.

In case of poor growth, plants are given inorganic fertilizers, usually mineral mixtures. If it is not possible to purchase them, you can fertilize them with ash or nettle infusion. Nitrogen contributes to high-quality plant growth and the formation of a large root system.

Pepper feeding: fertilizing for growth

The type of feeding directly depends on the age of the pepper. Before that, you learned about the standard types of fertilizers. The growth of plants is influenced by the conditions of the surrounding world. Because of this, each bush will have its own micronutrient needs. Growth is often dependent on the variety of peppers. With a lack of sun, peppers need potassium, 20 percent more than in the sun.

There are several types of fertilizers and each has its own purpose. If you need to accelerate growth, mineral fertilizers are used, if the harvest is not enough, organic fertilizing is used (the composition includes mullein, sometimes bird droppings).
If the pepper grows quickly, but the flowers have not appeared, it is recommended to remove the fertilizer with nitrogen and fertilize the plants with superphosphate. The nutritious mix consists of a couple of teaspoons of urea, the same amount of superphosphate and ten liters of water. All components are mixed and used for irrigation, promote rapid fertilization.

When peppers grow in a greenhouse, they need additional input of microelements. Constant feeding promotes correct and good plant growth. During the growing season, plants need nitrogen (growth and development of fruits), calcium (correct growth and ripening of fruits), potassium (grafting of peppers and shape of fruits), phosphorus (good bearing of fruits).

Top dressing of pepper: spring fertilizer for greenhouses

It is not very possible to grow peppers in the beds, so most gardeners grow them in greenhouses. You need to know about proper care.
At the very beginning of the development of peppers, many ovaries should form, after which peppers will form instead of them. After planting, mineral fertilizers are required, ash has an antifungal effect, which prevents the development of diseases.
At the beginning of growth, any type of pepper needs calcium for proper development. If its quantity is insufficient, the plant may start to rot and stop growing, the leaves will be covered with "rust". If you do not fertilize the plant after a short time, the plants will simply dry out. This may indicate a lack of magnesium. All micronutrients are very important, so it is important to keep them in the correct amount in order to avoid the death of seedlings.

Top dressing of peppers: summer plant fertilizers

In summer, plants may lack both organic matter and minerals. Plants are fertilized with minerals through watering, sometimes they are sprayed onto the leaves with a spray bottle. Mixed organic and mineral fertilizers are periodically used. It is important to understand that an excessive amount of substances in such a mixture can negatively affect the plant and the environment.
Mixtures of organics and minerals are useful for fertilizing plants living in beds. In greenhouses, it is recommended to feed separately. It is better to keep the air saturated with nitrogen.Usually, manure and water are used for this, it is also possible to use nettle. To do this, collect the nettle and dilute it with boiled water.

Top dressing of pepper: fertilizers for open ground

How to fertilize seedlings in open beds. Special care will be required during flowering. Fertilizer lovers will be interested in a mixture of a kilogram of manure, 0.5 kg of poultry droppings, 5 liters of water and 2 tablespoons of superphosphate. All ingredients are mixed and infused for five days. In addition to superphosphate, potassium sulfate can be used, it is added in the same amount. For each liter of solution, 10 liters of water are added and the plant is watered.

Important! It is impossible to make the same top dressing all the time! It is recommended to constantly change them.

During flowering, the plant needs nitrogen and phosphorus, they contribute to the good development of future peppers and give the plants strength. To add more calcium to the soil, you need to use calcium nitrate, you need to prepare a 0.2 percent solution with water. This will prevent the development of rot.
In order for the amount of harvest to be sufficient, the plant must be pollinated by insects; you can attract them to the plant by watering the plant with a special mixture. The mixture consists of a liter of water, 2 grams of boric acid and 0.1 kg of sugar.
During the period of direct fruit ripening, the soil is fertilized with wood ash. On 1 m2, you will need to scatter 2 glasses of ash. This fertilization will be tedious to carry out 2 times during the growing season. The first feeding has already been discussed above, it is carried out 2 weeks after planting. One bush will require about a liter of litter solution in water. Fertilizers containing nitrogen are applied 14 days after the first feeding. It is he who is needed by the plant.

Preventing Disease

All plants are susceptible to disease and peppers are no exception. Spider mites often breed on peppers. You can notice it by the characteristic cobweb that has appeared on the leaves. Ticks multiply on the underside of leaves and are extremely difficult to see. The wilting of plants can also judge the appearance of ticks, because they feed on its juices. With regular watering, the risk of ticks is reduced if you find them, the plant should be properly treated.
Another common pest is aphids. An infusion of water and tobacco dust will help get rid of aphids. Such a solution should consist of 300 g of tobacco and ten liters of water, infuse for 3 days before use.
Another popular form of plant protection is dandelion infusion. This requires flower roots or tops. A solution of dandelions in water is infused for 3 hours and the plants are sprayed with it. You can also spray skim milk on the plants as a preventive measure. Such methods of protection are necessary for plants at the beginning of the growing season.

Top dressing of pepper: fertilization during the formation of fruits

It is necessary to determine whether plants need feeding by their appearance. If the plant develops well and in a timely manner, then fertilizers are not needed. Often, top dressing is used to improve the ripening of peppers; for this, salt with potassium or superphosphate is used. Such feeding can be carried out after the first peppers have ripened. Organic fertilizers are also applicable, it is described above.

Top dressing of pepper: fertilization during the period of decreasing growth

If you notice a deterioration in the condition of the plant, you need to think about the lack of nutrients in it, or perhaps an excess of them. It is necessary to fertilize the plants near the roots. It is important to determine what exactly the plant lacks, there are several signs. The ovaries began to fall off - spraying with boric acid is necessary. Fruits do not develop well - lack of phosphorus or too much nitrogen in the soil. With such a problem, plants are pollinated with superphosphate solution and nitrogen fertilization is reduced.

Pepper feeding: important rules

A large amount of organic matter is not used
Most of the minerals should be applied to the ground in the fall, before planting the plants, the rest just before planting. Then feeding according to plan.
Since nitrogen has a good effect on the formation of fruits, it is introduced when the ovaries begin to appear. It is important not to add too much of it, the plant may lose fruit.
Phosphorus plays the role of an accelerator in the development of peppers and makes the roots more resistant to external damage.
Thanks to potassium, the fruit will become more intense in color. With a lack of it, the leaves will begin to blush around the edges.
Before applying any fertilization, you need to check the soil to know what you can and cannot fertilize the plants with.
Without proper fertilization, the fruits will not be large and tasty. It is important to understand that fertilizers play an important role throughout the life of peppers and without them there will be no quality harvest. You will not spend so much time, but you will get amazingly beautiful fruits.
