Harvesting of Green Pepper

Harvesting

Sweet pepper fruits should be harvested when they reach full size and firmness. They are usually harvested before they begin changing color (reddening or yellowing), unless they are intended for other purposes. Stems of pepper plants are very fragile so use a knife when harvesting. Be careful not to damage the plants. Most sweet pepper plants produce for 6-8 weeks until they lose vigor.

Maturity period

Sweet pepper is harvested 3-4 months after planting by hand cutting off ripe lower mature fruits.
