Correct pepper feeding in the greenhouse

Care of the plant, in addition to watering and loosening, is a regular additional fertilizing. Adding pepper in a greenhouse is not so much a troublesome task as it is very responsible, requiring care and observance of certain rules.

Vegetables growing in the greenhouse need more fertilizing than growing in the open ground. Peppers for normal development need mineral and organic top dressing. Mineral top dressing of pepper in the greenhouse is responsible for the growth of the plant itself, while organic topping for fetus formation and yield in general. Peppers can be fed with various mineral fertilizers.

So, to form a beautiful plant and get a good harvest, you need to topple the pepper in the greenhouse. The plant needs the following minerals:

• Calcium - it is necessary throughout the period of growth and fruiting of the plant;
• Phosphorus - it is important for the formation of fruits, they are fed pepper from the moment of emergence;
• Nitrogen - it enhances the process of growth and maturation of not only the fruits, but also the plant itself;
• Potassium - it is involved in the process of tying fruits and their proper formation.

Lack of minerals - what does it threaten pepper?

Sometimes, even if the top-dressing of pepper is done according to all the rules, the plant can get sick. This may be due to the lack of a mineral or, conversely, to its overabundance.

For example, a lack of calcium leads to decay of the fruit. Because of the overabundance of calcium, the leaves turn yellow and fall off, apical buds develop poorly, fruit is slowly tied.

If the leaves are covered with brown spots, turn yellow and fall off intensely, this may indicate a lack of magnesium. Directly affects the biological ripeness of the fetus element such as potassium. With its lack, leaves dry, the growth of stems slows down, the fruits grow unsweetened or do not even ripen at all.

Not done in time, top dressing for plants can lead to a shortage of phosphorus. As a result, the leaves change color from bluish-green to reddish-brown. Slowly ovaries are formed, fruits ripen poorly, leaves fall off.

The plant grows quickly, but it does not bloom. This may be a sign of an overabundance of nitrogenous fertilizer in the soil.

For fertilizing peppers, organic fertilizers are also used. The infusion from the mullein is prepared in two steps. First, take two parts of the mullein and dilute one part of the water, put the mixture in a warm place (you can in the greenhouse) for a couple of days. Before use, dilute one part of the dormant Mullein with nine parts of water. For an adult plant, one liter of such fertilizer is sufficient. If instead of mullein you took a bird droppings, then it should be half as much.

Top dressing of pepper and tomato seedlings is done twice. The first time - as soon as the first leaves are formed, the second - a week before the transplant to a new location. Feed the plants in this period only with mineral fertilizers.

Two weeks later, when the pepper is already used to a new place, it is again watered with mineral fertilizers. Two weeks later, during flowering, fed with organic compounds.

During the fruiting process, pepper feeding in the greenhouse is produced both by mineral and organic fertilizers.
