Bell Peppers Growing Stages and Fertilizer Recommendations

The suggested pepper Nutrigation™ schedules were generated using Haifa’s NutriNet™ -   a powerful tool that helps growers to create and Nutrigation™ (fertigation) programs, considering the actual growth conditions. A carbon Footprint Calculator embedded in the system compares the suggested Nutrigation programs with conventional fertilization practices, helping you make environmentally responsible decisions.

Note: The hereunder should be regarded as a general guide only. The exact fertilization program should be determined according to the specific crop needs, soil type, water analysis, cultivar, and most important - the grower’s experience.
