Recommendations for growing sweet peppers in a greenhouse

Seed preparation is an important part of growing strong plants. What will be the seed, so will the crop. Seed preparation methods:

calibration of seeds for hollowness. Seeds purchased and collected at home are subject to calibration. This is necessary to determine the seeds with a full endosperm, which will germinate and yield a crop. The calibration process is very simple: dilute 40 grams of kitchen salt in a liter of water and place the seed there. All seeds that emerge need to be collected and discarded, they will not germinate, the remaining ones at the bottom must be dried for further processing;
disinfection with a one percent solution of potassium permanganate. It is simple to prepare, you will need to dissolve 1 g of potassium permanganate in 100 ml. water, soak the seeds. Etching is carried out for 20 minutes, after which they need to be washed with clean water;
soak in a growth stimulator to increase resistance and stimulate plant growth. Growth stimulants are very large, for example, you can use "Epin", "Novosil", "Zircon". On each of the preparations it will be written what dosage is used for seed treatment;
if you buy seeds, it is likely that they have already been pickled, so pay attention to the color of the seeds. Non-etched seed material is yellow or cream, and etched pinkish or other color.

Sowing seeds. For three days, it is necessary to cultivate the soil with Fitosporin solution to disinfect the soil from various fungi. The seeds are planted in a slightly compacted soil, to a depth of 1-2 cm. Pour seeds with warm water.
Pick When the seeds sprout and the first two leaves appear, it is recommended to pick a pepper. You need to prepare pots or cassettes in which you will transplant the sprouts. For a dive, it is best to use peat pots to facilitate the planting of seedlings. The plants are still very fragile, so transplant very carefully so as not to break the stem.
Transplanting seedlings in the greenhouse and in the garden. It is very easy to transplant a picked pepper, for this you need to make holes according to the 40 × 70 pattern and place peat pots in them. Until the transplant, the seedlings should reach a height of 20 cm. Due to the fact that you will not disturb the root system, pepper will adapt much faster and will grow.

Before planting pepper, apply complex fertilizers to the soil that contain the nitrogen component.

Planting pepper in open soil is the same as closed, only before planting seedlings on the bed, it must be hardened. Hardening is done 10-15 days before the intended planting. This process consists in gradually lowering the temperature in the greenhouse so that plants can quickly acclimatize in open conditions.

Watering pepper in a greenhouse must be done in the evening or early in the morning, so that the plants have time to absorb the liquid before the water evaporates under the influence of sunlight. Peppers need to be irrigated no more than twice a week, spending 2 liters per plant. water.

If the soil does not have time to dry out, then the water consumption can be reduced to 1 liter, so as not to provoke a black leg disease. The soil under the plant can be mulched to reduce moisture evaporation.

Pavel Romanovich:

I live in the suburbs, I grow peppers exclusively for my own consumption. For 10 years I have tried many different varieties. The favorites were: Bagheera, Red Elephant, Orange King. I really like the taste of these peppers and the variety of colors. To protect the plants from the weather, I grow them in a greenhouse covered with polycarbonate. Harvest was always satisfied, plants are not prone to diseases.

Stefania Petrovna:

I believe that each kind of pepper is unique and good in its own way. All varieties that I grew in the greenhouse gave excellent yield indicators. But I will single out my favorite - this is the Paris pepper. It is just beautiful, when the fruits are poured, my heart rejoices. Peppers ripen in greenhouse conditions much earlier, so it is very convenient. I wish everyone to find their best grade of pepper!
