Pepper planting techniques

The soil should be maintained with normal drainage and irrigation and adequate fertility. Do a good job of baking soil before planting, sprinkle human and animal dung water, and then cover with plastic film, generally sowing in early spring. After pepper seeds emerge successfully, it is necessary to uncover the film and do a good job of watering. When the soil temperature is stable above 16 degrees, it can be planted in time and the planting density can be controlled.

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

Pepper is to be rotation, the previous soil is not suitable for potatoes, tomatoes and other crops of the same family. The soil should be maintained with normal drainage and irrigation and adequate fertility. Deep ploughing of the soil to improve the structure of the soil is best carried out in winter, which can destroy the overwintering places of germs and pests and reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests. It can also improve the permeability of soil and promote the absorption of nutrient water. Reduce the phenomenon of falling flowers and leaves of hot pepper, and then fertilize the border. The type of base fertilizer is mainly rotten farm manure and compound fertilizer, which provides sufficient nutrition for the growth of hot pepper.

2. Methods of reproduction

Pepper nursery bed to choose in a ventilated and sunny place, there is plenty of water. Then do a good job of baking soil, sprinkle human and animal dung water, and then mulch to improve the ability of water and fertilizer conservation. Pepper seeds have a strong ability to germinate, so there is no need to accelerate germination in general. The sowing time is selected according to the variety, and the sowing is generally carried out in early spring. Cover a layer of fine soil after sowing so that you can't see the seeds. Then pour through the water, when the water completely permeates and cover the plastic film, a small arch shed can be built under certain conditions to prevent chili peppers from being damaged by the wind.

3. Seedling stage management

After the pepper seeds emerge successfully, the film should be uncovered to prevent the seedlings from forming tall seedlings. However, the plastic film still has to be covered after the sun goes down in the afternoon. Try to do a good job of ventilation on rainy days. If the soil turns white after drought, it should be watered in time. Watering time should not be chosen at noon to prevent the formation of high-temperature and high-humidity environment. After watering, we should pay attention to whether the amount of water is sufficient, and if there is still a shortage of water, then we should make up the water in time. It is not suitable to water when the temperature is too low to prevent frost damage. When two true leaves appear in the seedlings, pseudo-planting should be carried out, the row spacing should be controlled and the watering should be done well.

4. Planting management

When the soil temperature is stable above 16 degrees, it can be planted in time, and the planting density can be controlled and should not be carried out in cloudy and rainy days. After planting, a mid-tillage work should be carried out, and after entering the growing period, it should be carried out appropriately according to the actual situation. Then in sunny days to do a good job of topdressing work, to pay attention to the amount, to prevent undernutrition or overgrowth, delay the flowering and fruiting period. Especially in the fruit setting period and harvest period, there should be sufficient fertilizer and water to ensure that the pepper blossoms and bears fruit normally. Finally, we should pay attention to observe the weather, according to weather changes to control the amount of water and time, not in high temperature time, preferably in the morning and evening watering.
