What temperature is suitable for flowering and pollination in peppers? Please give an introduction



The suitable temperature for flowering and pollination is 20 to 27°C; below 15°C or above 35°C is unfavorable for pollination and fertilization (it affects pollen germination), and easily causes flower and fruit drop. Therefore, when cultivating peppers in high-temperature seasons such as summer, especially in weather with temperatures exceeding 30 to 35°C, peppers often struggle to set fruit and are prone to viral diseases. When cultivating peppers in protected facilities in winter, fruit setting is often difficult because the temperature is too low. Generally, large-fruited pepper varieties are less tolerant of high temperatures than small-fruited varieties.
