Pepper

Application technology:

1. Seed pre-treatment*. Application rate of the preparation – 50 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.25 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 kilo of seeds. Seed treatment (soaking for up to 10-12 hours) by a Lignohumate solution with consumption rate of 3 l per 1 kilo of seeds. Combination with protectants or bio-preparations is recommended.

2. Watering of seedlings (if the seedling method is used). The preparation is applied at the seedling phase while still in the sprouter or at the moment of planting the seedlings into the open ground: to be added into clean water or into fertilizer solutions. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution.

3. Foliar dressing during the phase when 1 to 3 regular leaves are grown. Application rate of the preparation – 150 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.75 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

4. Foliar dressing at the budding phase and early bloom. Application rate of the preparation – 150 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.75 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

5. Foliar dressing at early ripening. Application rate of the preparation – 150 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.75 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

It is recommended to apply Lignohumate in a mixture with protectors and soluble fertilizers.

6. If an irrigation system is used, then the preparation is to be applied with water several times per season. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution.

If drip irrigation is used, then the preparation is to be applied at the last or last-but-one watering 1 time each 7-10 days. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution.

Thus, thanks to the above described properties we have:

- increased crop yield;

- earlier and more profitable crop;

- better merchantability of the crop (better evenness of fruit);

- crop quality improvement (higher sugar content, but a smaller % of nitrates and heavy metal salts).

By virtue of its physiological requirements it is most preferable to apply to Pepper a potassium form with addition of a set of microelements.

* - only if seeds are not incrusted or pelletized.
