🌶️ Pepper plants are not bearing pepper? Find out the reasons and what to do 🌿

Pepper is a very necessary spice in our kitchen. But many times it is seen that even though the plant is very big, it is not bearing fruit or is bearing very little. This becomes a source of frustration for farmers and amateur farmers. Let's find out the reasons and solutions.


✅ Possible reasons for not bearing pepper:

  1. Too much heat or excessive rain:

Pepper plants cannot tolerate too much heat or excess water. As a result, the flowers fall off the plant and it does not bear fruit.

  1. Use of excess urea fertilizer:

Many times, we give too much urea to the plant to grow well. This makes the plant produce more leaves, but the yield decreases.

  1. Pests and diseases:
    Insects such as mites, thrips, and beetles eat the flowers or destroy the fruit before it forms.

  2. Lack of pollination:
    If there is not enough pollination, the fruit will not set. This problem is especially common in summer when there are few insects.

  3. Cultivation in shaded areas:
    If the pepper plant does not get enough sun, it will not flower well and will not set fruit.


🛠️ Things to do:

  1. Moderate fertilizer application:
    Use urea, TSP and potash according to the rules. Give less urea, increase potash during fruit set.

  2. Keep the plant healthy:
    Using organic fertilizers such as cow dung or compost strengthens the soil and keeps the plant healthy.

  3. Apply pesticides consciously:
    You can control insects by using neem oil or other natural pesticides. Use approved chemicals if necessary.

  4. Ensure adequate sunlight:
    If the plant does not get enough sun, the plant will not flower properly. So, make sure that the plant is not under the shade.

  5. Attract bees for pollination:
    You can increase the number of bees or insects around the flowers by planting flowering plants.


📝 Conclusion:

There can be many reasons behind the pepper plant not bearing pepper. If you can maintain the right balance of plant care, fertilizer management, sun and rain, etc., the yield will also be good. If you take care of the plant patiently and regularly, the pepper plant will start bearing fruit again, InshaAllah.


🍀 Take care of your plant, nature will also gift you with fruits.
