How to plant pepper seeds

Pepper is a common seasoning, often used in barbecue, soup, is a more popular crop. So do you know how to grow pepper seeds? Let's take a look at it.

First, raising seedlings

The use of pepper seeds has the advantages of fast plant growth, early fruit, high yield and long life. Soak in warm water, germinate, sow, sprinkle with thin soil, and then keep moist.

II. Planting

Pepper is afraid of stagnant water, so you should choose gentle sloping land, flat land with good drainage and well-permeable soil to plant. The seedlings are placed opposite the column; when planting double seedlings, the seedlings are placed in the shape of "eight characters" opposite the column. The upper end of each seedling shows 1-2 sections of the soil, and the root system of the seedling is close to the slope, evenly distributed and stretched naturally, then the cover soil is pressed, 5 kg of rotten machine fertilizer is applied on both sides of the seedling, and then returned to the soil to make a mound shaped like a pot bottom in the middle. Cover grass, shade and sprinkle enough fixed root water. The shade degree is 80%% Mui 90%. Water can be drenched once 1-2 days after planting, and it can be reduced gradually after survival. Keep shade for a year after planting. Don't let the sun damage the pepper head and cause the seedlings to die. If there are dead plants after planting, they should be replanted in time. When the pepper seedling pulls out the new vine, it should plant the pillar in time. In addition, attention should be paid to loosening soil, weeding, fertilizing and binding vines.

III. Fertilization

1. The fertilization of young pepper should be based on water and fertilizer with more nitrogen, combined with organic fertilizer and a small amount of chemical fertilizer, and carry out the principle of frequent application and more application in the peak growing season. Organic fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer are applied in spring. Each plant was applied 30 kg of rotten cow manure compost and 0.5 kg of superphosphate, and combined with fertilization, hole expansion was carried out to improve the soil. Take turns to apply on both sides of the plant and on the front of the pepper head. For the first time, the fat hole is on the side of the pepper head, and the inner wall of the hole is 60 cm away from the pepper head, so that the fat hole is connected with the planting hole. The fat hole is 30 cm wide, 80-100 cm long and 70 cm deep. When fertilizing, choose to return the topsoil to half, then fertilize, mix the topsoil and fertilizer well, press it tightly when returning to the soil, and slightly higher than the ground to prevent the fertilizer hole from accumulating water. Hole expansion and soil improvement should be completed before the top of the plant is sealed and flowered.

two。 During the normal growth period, water and fertilizer were applied every 20-30 days. Water and fertilizer is made from human and animal feces and urine and green leaves. Apply 2-3 kg of one-year-old pepper to each plant. If the concentration of water and fertilizer is low, 0.2 kg of compound fertilizer can be added per load. Water and fertilizer are generally applied in alternate ditches on the front and sides of the plant. Before each vine cutting, better quality water and fertilizer and 0.1 kg compound fertilizer per plant were applied to promote plant growth. It is generally not suitable to apply available nitrogen fertilizer in winter. Potash fertilizer and compound fertilizer should be applied. 0.1 kg per plant, fire can also be applied to burn the soil, 10-15 kg per plant to improve the cold resistance of the plant.

Fourth, pick flowers

Pepper can blossom and bear fruit all year round. Small peppers must pick flowers in order for the plants to grow normally. When the crown width of the two-year-old plant is more than 120 cm, the lower flower ear of the plant can be retained to bear fruit, but the fertilization management should be strengthened to ensure the normal growth of the plant. Results Pepper, in Hainan Province, generally stay spring flowers, low humidity areas, generally stay spring flowers, summer flowers. The spikes of flowers produced in other seasons will be removed.

Pepper is very afraid of stagnant water, so we must do a good job of watering and drainage to maintain healthy growth, otherwise there will be diseases and affect the harvest.
