To obtain full-fledged seedlings and in the future high yields, the seedling needs a pick. Thanks to this agricultural technique, plants form a strong stem and a full-fledged root system. Let's talk about picking techniques
What is picking for?
An important step in the growing process is picking. It consists in planting sprouts from a common container into individual cups. As a result, numerous adventitious and lateral roots appear at the root system, respectively, nutrition is more active, which favorably affects the development of the aboveground part.
How to dive pepper correctly
The picking is carried out at a certain time, when the seedling has formed two true leaves. With a later / early procedure, poor survival is noted, so it is important to plant at this stage of growth. A seedling with a cotyledon leaf is not ready for planting, so there is no need to rush - let it grow.
There are rules that must be adhered to when conducting such an agrotechnical event. The process begins with the preparation of the soil in which the pepper sprouts are located. Before work (2-3 hours), a container with sprouts should be spilled abundantly and kept until the excess water is completely drained into the pan. The soil should be well moistened and keep a lump. It will not be possible to transplant from dry soil without injuring the roots, since the soil mixture will crumble, and the delicate roots will bare / break.
Transplant containers must be fully prepared. Their size is selected within 10 * 10 … 8 * 8 cm. It is better to use ready-made sets of glasses with a pallet. You can adapt milk bags, plastic cups, peat pots and others with holes in the bottom. The soil is used the same as for seedlings. After filling, it is spilled with boiling water or manganese solution.
Before the start of the "operation", a recess is made in each intended container, which is sufficient for comfortable placement of the roots with a lump. Gently take the sprout with a special elongated spatula for seedlings and transfer it to the hole. The roots should fit freely, without distortions and bends. Try not to deepen the neck and keep the original stem level above the surface. With elongated seedlings, powder is allowed no more than 0.5 cm.
After placing the baby in a new place, the hole must be sprinkled with soil and slightly compacted. Mandatory watering is required. It is important that the pepper sprout does not tighten, so you need to pour it carefully, in a thin stream, while you may have to hold the stem with your fingers. After the final absorption, the hole sinks, it's not scary - add new soil to the surface.
Pepper care after picking
Conditions for pepper seedlings do not differ from the usual norms for other vegetable plants.
•
Lighting full-fledged, backlit is created for maximum lengthening of daylight hours. If the seedlings will be placed on a windowsill on the south side, shading from sunlight will be required (the first two weeks). A protective material is attached to the glass. It is important to exclude one-sided development. To do this, rearrange the seedling trays daily, focusing on the light.
•
Temperature in the room should be stable + 20 … + 25C. It is advisable to reduce it to + 16 … + 18 at night. A lower one has a bad effect on development: from 15 and below. It is important to know that after + 13C, growth stops.
•
Watering during this period is important. After picking, the sprouts are well moistened, and the first watering takes place after the top layer has completely dried. In the future, the interval is maintained at 5-6 days. The quality of the incoming moisture is reduced to uniform wetting of the full volume of soil, for this, holes in the bottom and pallets for receiving excess are provided for. Ideal water for the development of seedlings + 25 … + 30C. Decay processes, growth arrest, the development of diseases provoke water below +18, so it is important to monitor the temperature. Watering is best done at the root.
•
Top dressing needed 2 weeks after the pick. The method of application is used in the form of a land spill, that is, in a liquid form during the next irrigation. Usually ready-made feeding mixtures are used. If growth lags, refeeding should be given after 2 weeks with humate. The pallor of the leaves - you need to shed "Ideal" or urea (half a spoon for 3 liters).
