Pepper prefers light, loose, neutral soil rich in organic matter.
Good predecessors: onions, carrots, pulses and kale.

Pepper is responsive to the application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers for better fruit setting and nitrogen fertilization during the entire growing season. For the development of the root system, regular loosening of the soil should be carried out. All lateral shoots and leaves on the main stem must be regularly removed before the first fork. Also remove the central flower on the plant, growing from the first branch, this will contribute to an increase in yield.
