To grow a vegetable, it is necessary to observe such parameters for growth:

• temperature conditions: air - 18-26 ° C, soil - 20 ° C;
• lighting - 35,000 lux;

• inhibition of growth at temperatures above 30 degrees and the death of the culture when the temperature drops below + 15 ° C for several days in a row;
• an increase in the growing season with a lack of light;
• low productivity, the fruits do not ripen completely and the ovary dies with a lack of water;
• lack of ovary and weak stems with a lack of nutrition.
