The cultivation of pepper
The pepper market is dominated by a few countries representing three-quarters of global production: China, Mexico, Indonesia, Turkey, and Spain, with China leading by a wide margin.
From a nutritional standpoint, peppers are rich in vitamin C. Agronomic challenges include blossom-end rot, flower drop under high temperatures, and fruit cracking. Some varieties are also particularly sensitive to nematodes.
Nutritional advice for pepper
- Base fertilization should include adequate phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), while nitrogen should be supplied in appropriate doses, as excess nitrogen promotes excessive vegetative growth at the expense of fruiting and fruit quality.
- Pepper grows slowly and is subject to stress in early development stages. Root growth should be stimulated using products containing humic acids or amino acids combined with calcium (essential during fruit set and development) and magnesium.
- Pre-harvest potassium application enhances the fruit’s organoleptic qualities.
- Products containing microbial pools are recommended to regenerate tired soils and counteract pathogens.
Follow these strategies to optimize pepper fertilization and achieve high-quality, healthy fruits.
PRODUCT POSITIONING BY PHENOLOGICAL PHASE - MIDDLE EAST LINE
Products used in this phase
For problems of iron chlorosis, we recommend interventions with Nano.T Fe via the roots. Dosage based on the soil's chlorinating power index.
To strengthen the plant and make it more resistant to biotic and abiotic stress, we recommend using Nano.T Cu foliarly every 15 days from vegetative development onwards.
In saline, sodic, calcareous soils with an alkaline pH, add CALCITO at a dose of 10 l/ha every 25-30 days.
To create favorable environments for maintaining healthy leaves, shoots, and fruits, use Nano.T Total
