Planting small fruit-type peppers typically involves leaving 4 to 6 main branches. However, many vegetable farmers tend to tie up all 4 to 6 main branches at once during the early flowering stage. In my opinion, this practice is more harmful than beneficial.
Most farmers use a two-row system with two steel wires for support. During the early flowering period, they hoist the main branches directly toward the wire. As a result, the branches and leaves become crowded and start to interfere with each other, which can prematurely restrict the plant's natural growth. The branches are unable to spread out on their own, leading to a limited spreading area. This causes mutual shading, reducing the amount of light the plants receive. Consequently, the photosynthetic activity decreases, which negatively affects the overall development of the vegetable plants.
Instead, I recommend a step-by-step approach. To prevent the plants from falling over, it’s best to hoist only the two strongest main branches during the early flowering stage. This ensures the plant remains upright while allowing the remaining branches to grow freely without restriction. Once the pepper plant reaches a height of at least 0.5 meters and shows significant development, the other main branches can be suspended gradually.
Additionally, to promote natural branch expansion, it’s advisable to upgrade the support system from two rows of two wires to two rows of three wires. This allows the branches and leaves to stretch out more evenly, reducing self-shading and increasing the total photosynthetic surface area. With better light exposure and more efficient photosynthesis, the plants will grow stronger and healthier, ultimately leading to higher yields and better quality produce.
