CROP CULTIVATION TIPS

Peppers

Sweet peppers are an increasingly important crop in controlled environment agriculture worldwide, with strong growth in cold climates like Canada and the Netherlands as well as warm regions across Latin America. Their vibrant colors and diverse varieties make them popular with consumers and growers alike.

Meeting the demand for year-round high-quality peppers requires precise management of light, temperature, humidity, and airflow. Peppers are sensitive crops that benefit greatly from advanced climate screening and ventilation strategies to maintain balanced growth and consistent yields.

At Svensson, we support pepper growers globally with innovative screening solutions and airflow systems designed to optimize energy use and create uniform, healthy growing conditions. Whether you grow in temperate or tropical zones, our proven technologies help you produce stronger, more resilient peppers throughout the year.

Building the right climate for peppers to thrive

Humidity Peppers require consistent humidity levels, especially at night, to prevent condensation.

Light Peppers thrive with high light levels but need protection from intense radiation.

Temperature  Consistent temperatures help promote early fruit set, balanced growth, and reduce stress.

Pepper Climate Playbook

We’ve created a Pepper Climate Playbook specifically for growers in cold climates, like Canada and northern Europe, who want to build a more stable and productive environment for their greenhouse peppers.

This playbook offers practical guidance on managing light, temperature, humidity, and airflow to support healthy, balanced pepper crops. Whether you grow bell, snack, or specialty varieties, you’ll find strategies to reduce climate stress, improve yield, and promote consistent fruit set throughout the season. From choosing the right screens to optimizing energy use, the guide provides tools to help you grow stronger, higher-quality peppers in challenging cold conditions.
