Peppers have a long growing period and a high fertilizer demand. Generally, a small amount of fertilizer can be applied at the seedling stage, and foliar topdressing can be combined with it, choosing appropriate fertilizer containing trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, and boron. During the full flowering and fruit-setting stage, the demand for nitrogen is relatively high, and at this time appropriate topdressing of diammonium phosphate and similar fertilizers can be applied.

From the full flowering stage to the maturity stage, the demand for phosphorus and potassium is relatively high, and a potassium sulfate-based compound fertilizer can be chosen. Because peppers are relatively sensitive to the boron element, a borax solution should be sprayed appropriately during the mid-growth stage, which can significantly reduce flower and fruit drop, increase the fruit-setting rate, and improve fruit quality.
