How to fertilize chili peppers properly? What fertilizer is best? What are the effects
One of the main reasons for fewer chili pepper flowers, more flower and pepper drop, and a low pepper-setting rate is vigorous growth, where vegetative growth dominates, with many branches and leaves and a large nutrient consumption, causing the plant to grow excessively and bolt. If phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are applied additionally during the growth and development period to raise the plant's phosphorus and potassium levels, vegetative growth can be inhibited, reproductive growth promoted, and there will be more flowers, less flower drop, and a higher pepper-setting rate. The specific method is as follows:
During the growth and development period of chili peppers, apply a phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to the roots once a month, each time applying 40-50 kg of superphosphate or calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer per mu, and 15-20 kg of potassium chloride or potassium sulfate. After fully stirring and mixing the phosphorus and potassium fertilizers evenly, broadcast them onto the soil around the roots of the chili pepper plants, then cover with a layer of soil about 3-5 cm thick to cover the phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. At the same time, spray a 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution, or an 800-fold Xingpeng Phosphorus and Potassium No. 1 aqueous solution, onto the leaves once every 10-15 days, evenly wetting all branches and leaves, until water droplets begin to drip down, to supplement phosphorus and potassium through the leaves.
