Just use your fingers and pinch off the top node or head. It will start forming other nodes or heads (Y)

The area to pinch off

I think I got this pix from ogbongenet thread on pepper that talked about pruning.

nice I like it

6. Now the real work starts ..... I did the Nursery broadcasting in the evening doing the following ( I did the broadcasting on the 9th of Feb 2020 )

A. I used water to damp the nursery bed to make it wet and to cool the ground off

B. I used rake to further clear it off debris

C. Then I broadcasted (I used 2 beds I applied dried chicken waste on 1st bed and the 2nd bed just the soil to see if there will be any significant difference or damage)

D. Then the broadcasting ( the bed with manure I I used drip method for the broadcast just few lines)

What is drip method? Or how is it done?

Drip method is also called furrow or in lay man term, you draw straight line on your bed and put your seeds in the hole and cover lightly with sand.

Pruning undisputed..... Check the difference!

Pruned and Unpruned. Always make sure you prun your pepper it can't be overemphasized.

that topped or pruned pepper plant will produce 30-40% more pods than the unpruned plant,we can easily see the beginning of numerous branches that will translate to even more numerous production.

From what I have learned so far two things are important

1. Use manure for your nursery and apply manure to your planting holes before transplanting

2. Top your pepper or prun it you will have strong and more quantity of pepper to harvest

@Okoroemeka

I observed that transplanting pepper into manure nursery nylon mixed with soil takes time to regenerate compared with using ordinary soil.

What is the cause of that

what you have to understand is that manure especially chicken manure is a plant stressor if used ignorantly,that is why it burns and kills crops,the manure you mixed with soil and poured into nylon bags will generate more heat and more stress to the young plant,the way to aviod this is transplant with normal soil then apply manure in 1-2 weeks time by then the roots are well established

Thanks boss.

What if I plant on heap directly and add manure 1-2 wks after. The problem will be wetting.

But my tomatoes I applied manure on the heap first then after like 3days I
now planted them and they are doing well.

What if I allow some days to pass after filling the nylon with manure + soil and thereafter transplant the pepper into it, will it still have same issue of stressing and burning them.

Another observation NEVER transplant in the morning.

Also the plant without manure application on the bed regenerates very fast without much issue after transplanting them in nylon that contain manure + soil.

Thanks once again

Good morning my fellow Farmers.

well-done sir , but does it necessary to put it inside the pure water nylons before transferring it to the heaps after 25 days?

Not necessary bro but very nice if u can do it because from the bed if u transfer to nylon it will help you manage water and time then when rain is stable u can move it to heap but if u move it straight from bed to heap you will use more water and spend more time watering and if d weather is harsh it will burn your pepper just as many farmers experienced

Why do I plant pepper & it fail to germinate is there a better method?do I have to soak it in warm water?

If is high breed you need to break the dormancy by soaking in warm water over night.
You also need to check the expiration date on the sachet always make sure is a year or two ahead before expiration.
Give us update if is high breed and the date on the pack and what variety is it
