Screw peppers can be fertilized with water-soluble fertilizers by using a root irrigator. The specific operations are as follows :
I. Selecting Appropriate Water-Soluble Fertilizer
According to the growth stage and needs of screw peppers, select water-soluble fertilizers containing appropriate amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. For example, in the early growth stage, high-nitrogen water-soluble fertilizers can be selected to promote plant growth. In the fruiting stage, water-soluble fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium contents should be increased to promote fruit development !
II. Preparing The Root Irrigator
Ensure that the function of the root irrigator is normal and there is no blockage or damage. Manual or electric root irrigators can be selected according to the planting area and actual needs !
III. Fertilization Time
Fertilization is generally carried out during the key periods of screw pepper growth, such as after transplantation, before flowering, and during the fruiting period. Avoid fertilizing in high temperature, strong light or rainy days to avoid affecting fertilizer efficiency or causing damage to plants !
IV. Fertilization Method
Dissolve the water-soluble fertilizer in water according to the proportion in the instructions, and then pour it into the root irrigator. Aim the nozzle of the root irrigator at the soil around the roots of the screw pepper plants and irrigate slowly to make the fertilizer solution fully penetrate into the soil. Pay attention to controlling the amount of fertilization to avoid root burning caused by excessive fertilization !
V. Follow-up Management
Water in time after fertilization to help the fertilizer dissolve better and be absorbed by the plants. At the same time, pay attention to observing the growth of screw peppers. If there are abnormalities, the fertilization plan should be adjusted in time. In addition, other management measures such as pest control and intertillage and weeding should be combined to ensure the healthy growth and high yield of screw Peppers !
