The theory goes that the increased air circulation and better access of sunlight to the deeper parts of the plant will help it to grow more peppers. When it comes to bell peppers, pruning at the beginning of the season, before the plant has set fruit, is supposed to help increase yield. We will look at the benefits of both of these. The first way for pruning pepper plants is early season pruning and the second is late season pruning. Two Kinds of Pepper Plant Pruningįirst of all, we should make it clear that there are two ways for pruning bell peppers. Let’s look at the idea of pruning bell peppers and see if it is sound.

You may be wondering if pruning bell peppers in your garden can help your peppers give you more fruit. One of them is that pruning pepper plants will help to improve the yield on peppers. The Journal of Agriculture and Environment Vol:12, Jun.There are many theories and suggestions that float around the world of gardening. The 7% NaCl treatment gave superior performance among the treated and control plants. Even though before transplanting, untreated seedlings were taller with longer root length, significantly higher fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots after transplanting, seedlings from NaCl coated trays showed better performance with taller plants, longer roots, and higher fresh and dry weights of shoots and roots.

Seedlings from the treatment produced more fibrous roots. Results showed that NaCl coating significantly minimized excessive growth rate and root mat formation. ‘Sonik’ seeds were planted in plug trays coated with latex paint containing 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% and 15% NaCl (w/v) and compared with an uncoated control. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 replications. This study was done to minimize excessive growth and root mat formation which is a problem during preparation of seedlings in sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings.
