Any gardener, who grows sweet bell peppers, knows, that without systematic feeding can not do. Feeding the plant is an equally important component of care, as watering. Pepper fertilizer with boron is very useful for the plant.
benefit
Boric acid stimulates and accelerates the flowering process of pepper. in addition, it helps to preserve the already formed ovary. in addition, trace element helps the fruit to avoid rot, even in conditions of high humidity.
Boron solution increases yields. As a result of regular watering, the fruits become much tastier. Under the action of the element, the process of assimilation of nutrients by plants is significantly accelerated.
Boron is especially useful for those peppers, growing at home (on the balcony or windowsill). Due to the "living" conditions, such individuals are considered weak. They need enhanced nutrition, compared to their soil relatives. Boron is able to overcome all these differences.
Spraying peppers with pine, you reliably protect them from damage by late blight. Processing is necessary in the conditions of emergence on cultures of the twisted leaves. Peppers should not be fertilized with superphosphate at this time.
Useful boron for individuals, whose leaves have fallen. In this case, it is better not to use pure acid, and combine it with mullein and urea. Most gardeners soak the seeds in boric acid solution before planting. To do this, prepare a solution, consisting of several elements: in a pint of tincture of onion peel add a solution of ash (in the same amount), in such a mixture is also added 0,005 kilograms of soda, 0,2 grams of acid and 1 grams of manganese. Seed, treated before planting with a similar solution, will be reliably protected from late blight.
How to understand, that culture is in dire need of pine? There are a number of signs of this phenomenon. Firstly, the upper leaves turn pale, become small and lose their usual shape. The upper shoots die. Secondly, weak flowering and ovulation are observed.
Spraying peppers with boric acid for the ovary is carried out with a specially prepared solution (0,002 kilograms of acid diluted in a bucket of water). This solution is great not only for peppers. It is also used for eggplant, zucchini, cucumbers. The finished solution will help eliminate the rot of the fruits of these crops.

when to spray
Feeding peppers is carried out several times during their life cycle.
For the first time the crop should be fed before flowering. The best time is the beginning of bud formation. Fertilizer procedure during this period will help increase the number of buds and accelerate their development.
The third time the pepper should be fed at the beginning of fruit ripening. Boric acid will help make them more beautiful and delicious. A useful chemical element will reliably protect the crop from rot.
It is worth noting, that each application of fertilizer should not be carried out according to a clear schedule. Sometimes you need to feed peppers, to improve his condition. Often the plant lacks a mineral. This is due to soil poverty, which contains virtually no boron.
Pepper grows best on fertile soil, rich in substances and minerals: chernozem or chestnut soils, naturally rich in boron. However, the soil often contains a huge amount of sand or clay, therefore, additional boric acid fertilizer is required. After all, it will help to grow nightshade crops.
How right
Pepper fertilizer with pine does not require special knowledge or skills. Most often, the trace element is made in the foliar way, using a sprayer. For feeding it is better to wait for a clear day without precipitation. It is better to hold events with the sunrise or sunset. During the period of active heat water on the plant should not be. First, the solution is prepared, cools down and only after that it is subject to application. Only a liter of substance will be needed for ten square meters. The solution is diluted in different proportions, which depend on the ultimate goals. You can buy the substance ready-made.
To keep the ovaries on the plant, and not showered, you need one gram of acid to dissolve in a liter of hot liquid (but not in boiling water!). Pepper is treated with a cooled solution. The amount of substance is easy to calculate, based on the number of individuals.
To defeat late blight, enough in a bucket of warm water to dilute a teaspoon of acid. Treatment of plants is carried out after complete cooling of the finished solution. Pre-spraying peppers with manganese will help to improve the effect. A week later, apply an acid solution, and then iodine. It is worth watching, that the crystals of boric acid are completely dissolved. You need to monitor the amount of fertilizer. After all, an excess of minerals is also dangerous for vegetables, as well as their deficit.
In addition to the foliar method, use and watering with a solution of boric acid. In this case, the substance is applied to the root.
so, boric acid is extremely useful for peppers. Therefore, the introduction of this element should not be neglected in any case.
