Use of Agreen agrofiber for cultivating bell pepper

Pepper is an annual plant, so you need to grow it every year. This plant grows well in the southern regions of Ukraine. But with proper cultivation and use of Agreen agricultural fiber, bell pepper gives a good yield throughout the territory of our country. Growing peppers is quite difficult, so this process requires a lot of effort and time. Bell pepper has been grown on an industrial scale for many years. This vegetable brings a good profit if the crop is harvested in a short time.

Agrofiber makes it possible to speed up the ripening process of bell peppers.

The use of Agreen agrofiber has several advantages:

Protection against weeds. Using Agreen black mulching agrofiber will allow you to forget about weeds. It also helps maintain optimal soil moisture and proper air exchange. Black agrofiber for mulching the soil attracts and accumulates more heat, which is an important factor for the growth and development of the root system of bell pepper.
Frost protection. Agreen's white covering agrofiber protects bell pepper seedlings well from frosts that occur in early spring. Covering bell pepper during frosts down to -8°С will help to fully preserve the future harvest.
Protection from adverse weather conditions. Covering agricultural fiber will help protect bell peppers from strong gusts of wind and hail, which can damage the plant.
Protection from harmful ultraviolet rays. Agrofiber allows sunlight to pass through, which is so necessary for the growth of bell peppers, but at the same time protects from the scorching sun.
Protection from insects and birds. The covering agrofiber protects against birds that want to try the sweet and bright fruits.

Bell pepper cultivating technology

Before planting bell pepper in the soil where it will bear fruit, you need to take care of the seedlings. It is not difficult to grow seedlings if you follow a certain technology. Pepper seeds should be planted in a special container or containers at a distance of no more than 3 cm from each other, the depth should be 1 cm. Under such conditions, the seeds will germinate faster. Already in a week you will be able to watch how the first sprouts appear. Seedlings need constant care. If the soil is dry, you need to water it. It is preferable to water bell peppers with warm water. If watered with cold water, seedlings will slow down growth or stop it altogether. Bell pepper is a heat-loving crop, so that the seedlings grow well, the temperature in the room should be between 23°С and 28°С.

At the beginning of May, after the appearance of the first leaves, seedlings can be planted in a permanent place. Before planting, you need to prepare the soil. It should be fertilized and loosened in advance. During planting, the soil should be moist. Bell pepper should be planted at the level of the upper root, so as not to cover the root neck, as this can cause the development of black leg and other diseases. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 35-50 cm from each other, the distance between rows should be 50-70 cm depending on the variety of bell pepper.

After planting the seedlings, bell pepper should be covered with agrofiber. Since agrofiber has different widths, it is very easy to choose a suitable option for shelter. The width of the agrofiber can be from 1.6 m to 15.8 m. The length is from 5 m to 250 m. It is also now possible to purchase the agrofiber by the cut, then its length can be selected according to your dimensions.

During the growing season, you need to make 2-3 top dressings of bell pepper. At the same time, the Agreen agricultural fiber is easily removed and pulled back over the pepper. You can loosen the soil in the same way by removing or moving the agrofiber. If you see that the agricultural fiber is no longer needed, then it is advisable to remove it completely and let the bell pepper reach it. Agrofiber is made of durable materials and can be used for several seasons. It is better to store agricultural fiber in a closed room, so its service life will be longer. For the next season, it will be enough to unfold the material and cover the sown beds. All properties of agrofiber are preserved, and your crops will be reliably protected from bad weather conditions and insects.

Harvesting

Most often, bell pepper fruits begin to be harvested at the stage of technical ripeness. This means that they are still green or have started to turn red. This harvesting system will allow the peppers left on the bushes to grow to large sizes. Without neighbors on the branches, they will receive more nutrients for growth.

Bell pepper fruits should be cut with the stalk, so the marketable appearance will be better, and the fruits can be stored longer. If black agrofiber was used for mulching during cultivation, harvesting will be much easier. Bell pepper can be sent for sale or to the table for cooking various dishes immediately after collection.

The use of Agreen agricultural fiber when growing bell peppers will not only speed up the ripening process by 30-35%, but also save time and effort. The yield will increase, which will please any gardener and farmer. You will be able to harvest before your competitors and get more profit when selling products. The purchase of covering arofiber and agrofiber for mulching the soil fully justifies itself. The funds that you spend on the purchase of materials will be returned to you after a season as a result of large sales.
