Your information is very complete and helps me to increase my limited knowledge since my crops are only for family consumption and not for sale.
Therefore I do not use hybrid seeds. In many cases I use the same seeds that I collect from the plants. And as far as fertilizers go, I don't use any chemical fertilizers (I hate Monsanto and the damage it does to the environment).
Regarding the production, I did not know that the peppers allowed so many extractions. I had come to the idea that with two or three the production of the plant was exhausted.
It is interesting to learn new things every day from true professionals in the sector like you and your colleagues.
I will follow your posts closely. The comment is really great.
Greetings and have a good weekend @wesp05
You are right, peppers without chemical fertilizers and in the open field are usually only 4 or 5 per plant.
But even if you fertilize them with biological products, such as E.M., worm humus, organic compost and some beneficial bacteria you can get up to 10 fruits per plant.
I don't use a lot of chemicals, we also use organic products and microelements so that the soil is not weakened.
And regarding the hybrids, they are not genetically altered, they are simply the cross between two species, to have higher yields and resistance to viruses and bacteria.
I hope you find the information useful, success and good luck.
