IV. Disease and pest control of sweet pepper

Sweet pepper leaf spot

Symptoms: mainly harmful leaves, initially showing yellow-green irregular water-immersed spots, enlarged into reddish brown or dark green or dark brown to ferruginous color, the lesions are membranous and vary in size. When dry, the disease spot is mostly reddish brown. Once the disease is infected, it expands very fast. a few or most of the leaves on a plant occur, and the plant can still grow and cause defoliation in serious cases. The edge of the spot is obvious, but it is not raised, so as to distinguish it from scab.

Route of transmission and disease conditions: the pathogen can survive the winter on seeds and diseased bodies. Spread by wind, rain or irrigation in the field, invading from the wound of sweet pepper leaves. The incidence of continuous cropping land and continuous cropping with cruciferous vegetables such as Chinese cabbage is serious. After continuous rainfall, the disease spread rapidly. The hot and rainy season is easy to spread.

Prevention and control measures:

Crops other than cruciferous vegetables such as ① and sweet pepper and Chinese cabbage are rotated for 2-3 years.

② is cultivated in high border and drained in time after rain to avoid flood irrigation.

Before sowing or sprouting, ③ mixed or soaked the seeds with 50% gum fertilizer copper acid wettable powder or 50% dimethazone wettable powder.

After ④ harvest, the fields should be cleaned in time, the diseased and residual plants should be thoroughly removed, and the late autumn ploughing should be carried out.

Spraying can be started at the early stage of ⑤, which can be sprayed 500 times of 50% copper sulfate wettable powder water, 300 times of 40% complex ammonia copper water, or 400 times of 77% wettable particulate powder water, or 4000 times of agricultural streptomycin sulfate soluble powder water. Spray once every 10 days for a total of 2 times.

Control of sweet pepper blight

First, crop rotation: rotation has been carried out for more than 2-3 years, cruciferous vegetables and legume vegetables are better in the previous crop, and melons and eggplant fruits are seriously affected in the previous crop.

Second, cultivate disease-free seedlings: raise seedlings away from pepper cultivation, do not use pepper garden soil, use new field soil that has not been planted with pepper, and apply enough rotten stable fertilizer. On the bed, the diseased seedlings were pulled out in time and sprayed comprehensively to cultivate disease-free seedlings and transplant.

Third, field management: high border planting, appropriate density, rational use of water, drainage after rain, medium ploughing and loosening soil, preventing excessive humidity, removing diseased plants and fruits, reducing disease sources, all have the effect of reducing incidence and harm.

Fourth, chemical control: before sowing, soak the seeds with 1000-fold EC of 20% methyl trimethophos for 12 hours, drain the liquid and rinse with clear water, then dry and accelerate the sowing. The central diseased plant was found after planting, and the plant, stem base and ground were sprayed in time. Spraying agents can use 40% aluminum triethyl phosphonate 200 times liquid, 58% metalaxyl manganese zinc wettable powder 500 times liquid, 70% ethyl phosphine manganese zinc wettable powder 500 times liquid, 64% poison alum wettable powder 500 times liquid, and so on. The protected area can also use 45% chlorothalonil aerosol, 250 grams per mu, or 5% chlorothalonil dust, 1 kg per mu, applied after sunset. The epidemic rate of the epidemic disease is fast, so the medicine should be used timely and early, once every 7 days and 10 days, 2 times in a row.
