Due to the influence of weather, the fruit setting time of pigment peppers is relatively concentrated, so management during the fruit expansion period is particularly important. The fruit expansion period is a critical stage that determines the yield and quality of peppers. If it is not managed properly, it may lead to uneven fruit size and affect the final profit. So, how to manage scientifically to ensure the smooth expansion of pigment peppers?

First, The importance of fruit expansion period.

The fruit expansion phase is the period of rapid growth for peppers. During this period, peppers have higher requirements for water, nutrients, and environmental conditions. Proper management can promote uniform fruit expansion and increase individual fruit weight.

Second, The main factors affecting fruit expansion.

1. Water management

Keep the soil moist during the fruit expansion period. Avoid drought, waterlogging, or alternating dry and wet conditions, as this can easily lead to cracked or deformed fruits.

2. Nutritional supply

Calcium fertilizer: Calcium supplementation can improve the toughness of the fruit peel and reduce fruit cracking.

Potassium fertilizer: During the fruit expansion period, it is necessary to apply an appropriate amount of potassium fertilizer to increase the transport of nutrients to the fruit and promote fruit expansion.

Trace elements: Appropriate supplementation of trace elements can promote crop nutrient absorption and increase fruit setting rate.

For some plots where fruit expansion is more difficult, you can use Monband® MBT PULI-YUAN N, which will achieve faster fruit expansion effect.

3. Pest and disease control

Diseases and pests are prone to occur during the fruit expansion period, so prevention is needed in advance.

Third, Summary.

Scientific water and fertilizer regulation and pest and disease control can effectively improve fruit quality and yield. Seize the key period to ensure a high pepper yield and increased income.
