Pepper productivity, remove first full size peppers when green?

Nematode · June 26, 2017

So I have seen in a couple places that to increase pepper productivity, the "first" peppers should be picked just when they reach full size.
So is first, 1 pepper, 3, 5 per plant?
What is this all about, does it apply to capsicum anuum in general, or only specific varieties?
Season here is short, so am leery of losing even the first few peppers.
