What is the best way to feed pepper seedlings?

In order for the plants to be plump before planting in the ground, with well-developed roots and a strong stem, the first time they need to be fed when they have 2-3 true leaves. Top dressing of pepper seedlings during this period is as follows: in 1 liter of water at room temperature, add 0.5 g of ammonium nitrate, 3 g of superphosphate, 1 g of potassium. Mix everything thoroughly. Water the seedlings. After 2 weeks, you can feed a second time, while taking a double dose of minerals per 1 liter of water. And when you are about to plant the grown seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse, add 8 g of potassium, 1 g of ammonium nitrate and 6 g of superphosphate to 1 liter of water and pour.

If the seedlings grow poorly at home, then most often this happens due to planting seeds in depleted land. Usually, seedlings are grown in the same soil, and when it grows up and is planted in open ground, it very quickly consumes useful substances from it, therefore it does not develop well, and it needs to be additionally fed.

What are the best products from the store to feed pepper?

Before and after the pick, that is, at all stages of growth, you can feed the seedlings with the following compositions:

• "Kemira-Lux": add 30 g of the composition to a bucket of water (10 l);
• Pour 30 g of foxamide and 15 g of superphosphate into a bucket of water (10 l).

When the seedlings have normal leaves, at home, before diving into the open ground, pour solutions containing phosphorus, macro- and microelements under it.

A seedling is fed if it grows poorly:

• dilute 20 g of green "Crystal" in a bucket of water (10 l) and pour;
• dilute 30 g of "Kemira-Lux" in a bucket of water (10 l) and pour under the roots;
• make a composition, pour 30 g of potassium salt, 80 g of superphosphate into a bucket of water (10 l).

Advice

Do not forget that the potassium requirements of a pepper when planted in the ground after a pick is largely dependent on the weather. If it is constantly raining and cool, then the pepper needs more potassium. At this time, you can feed it with ash, pouring 2 cups per 1 m² into the ground.

What to put under the peppers when you have planted them in the ground?

• At this time, 15 g of potassium and 40 g of superphosphate per 1 m² can be added under the bushes.
• Instead, you can add 40 g of superphosphate and 30 g of ash per 1 m².
• Plants like feeding from a bucket of water (10 liters) and 0.5 liters of mullein. It must be poured into the holes when planting seedlings.
• Also, during planting, you can pour a mixture of equal parts of humus and garden soil into the holes.

First, the nutrients are put in when planting, then after, after a week, they repeat this. 1 liter of top dressing is poured under 1 bush of pepper.

If a pour the pepper with iodine solution, then his immunity to diseasesand the yield increases. To do feeding with iodine, you need to drip only 10 drops into a bucket of water, this is a small concentration of the solution, and it cannot somehow damage the plants.

Fertilizing plants with yeast is a great way to feed them fairly cheaply with folk remedies made at home. Yeast contains phosphorus and nitrogen, so they promote the growth of roots and greenery. In addition to these elements, yeast contains vitamins, organic iron, which increase the immunity of plants, they are less sick.

Advice

It is worth remembering that yeast degrades potassium. This can be avoided by adding ash to them.

For top dressing, add 1 kg of fresh yeast to half a bucket of water (5 L). Leave for 1 day. Then dilute with 5 buckets of water (50 L). Then you can water.

If you have dry yeast, stir 1 packet in 10 liters of water, then add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of granulated sugar and leave for 2 hours. Then dilute 0.5 liters of the resulting solution with 10 liters of water and water.

Water the plants with yeast 2 times per season.Do not forget that when watering with yeast, you also need to add ash.

Other fertilizers for feeding

There are two more quite popular feeding pepper seedlings with folk remedies, which are easy to do at home if the seedlings do not grow well at home and on the site.

The first feeding of pepper seedlings - make an infusion of nettle in water and mix it with wood ash. This nutrient mixture will strengthen the seedlings, provide them with the necessary nutrients and trace elements for further growth and fruit formation.

Collect the nettle before setting its seeds. Pour chopped nettle into a liter jar and cover with water. Pour in yeast or sourdough. Add 300 g of wood ash. After 5 days, the infusion will ferment. Pour it into a bucket of water (10 L). So that the infusion does not have a strong specific smell, you can add valerian root. Ash should be evenly distributed when watering. Then spud the seedlings.

The second feeding - if the pepper does not develop well, then pour it with sleeping tea. Pour 1 cup of sleeping black tea into 3 liters of water. Wait 5 days. Then you can use the composition. You need to feed the plants only in the morning, as this will protect them from different diseases, including from rot.

It must be remembered that for proper development from the beginning of the appearance of the first leaves to the growth of fruits, plants need phosphorus. Peppers need nitrogen and calcium to grow, develop and bear fruit. And during the formation of ovaries, potassium is needed. But if the weather does not indulge in sunny days, then potassium should be added by 20% more.
