Want to know the use, spiciness and planting method of Chaotian pepper, a Solanaceae plant? You'll know after reading this!

Chaotian pepper, a variety of pepper, is a perennial semi-woody plant of the genus Capsicum of Solanaceae, which is cultivated in most parts of China. What is the use of it? How hot is it? How do you plant it? According to Solanaceae data, Chaotian pepper is a small fruit dry pepper variety, the dry weight of a single fruit is about 0.4 grams. The taste is extremely spicy, and the content of capsaicin is about 0.8%. Bright red, lycopene (red pigment) content is about 3%, spiciness is about 30000.

What are the uses of Chaotian pepper?

I. the value of dietotherapy

Capsaicin stimulates the brain to release endorphins, relieves pain, speeds up metabolism and keeps people slim, lowers cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides, promotes blood circulation and prevents diseases such as heart disease and stroke. In addition, pepper contains capsaicin and crude fiber, which can stimulate saliva and gastric juice secretion, strengthen spleen and stomach, promote appetite and dispel stomach cold disease. Pepper plays a significant role in preventing colds, arteriosclerosis, night blindness and scurvy.

II. Nutritional value

1. Lose weight: capsaicin can stimulate the brain to release endorphins, relieve pain, speed up metabolism and keep people slim.

2. Dispelling blood pressure and lowering blood fat: it can reduce the contents of cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and triglyceride, promote blood circulation and prevent diseases such as heart disease and stroke.

3. Invigorating the spleen and eliminating food: hot pepper contains capsaicin and crude fiber, which can stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, strengthen the spleen and stomach and promote appetite.

Other effects: dispel stomach cold disease; pepper plays a significant role in preventing colds arteriosclerosis night blindness and scurvy.

Third, edible effect

1. Wenzhong Powder is cold and invigorates the spleen to appetizer

2, suitable for young and old, people with cold stomach can dispel stomach cold by eating appropriate amount; in addition, it can be used as a condiment to eat a small amount when cooking; it can also be fried alone, and can also make chili sauce, chili oil, chili paste, chili noodles and so on.

How to grow Chaotian pepper?

Field planting methods:

I. selection of improved varieties

Excellent varieties with strong disease resistance and stress resistance can be selected, which are suitable for cultivation in spring and wheat stubble, such as warhead No. 2, Red Pepper No. 8 and so on.

Second, cultivate strong seedlings

Chaotian pepper should be planted with large seedlings, and the seedling age should be 60-70 days. In order to ensure that the seedlings are strong, sunny beds or small bow sheds should be adopted to raise seedlings. Spring pepper can be raised in late February, while wheat stubble pepper should be raised in late March. The soil of the seedbed should be broken and fertile.

III. Colonization

Chaotian pepper likes to be wet and afraid of water, so it is appropriate to choose fertilizer-preserving, loose and aerated loam, sandy loam or clay loam. The suitable pH value of soil is 6.5-8. Each mu can apply fully mature high-quality farm manure 33.5 cubic meters, or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (16% each) compound fertilizer 50,80kg, which can be increased or decreased appropriately according to the fertility of the land.

IV. Field management

(1) cultivate the soil through ploughing. Ploughing and cultivating soil in time can promote the growth and development of Chaotian pepper root system, increase soil temperature and preserve soil moisture. When there is more soil moisture, mid-tillage can also disperse moisture, which is beneficial to root growth.

(2) topdressing fertilizer. If the base fertilizer of spring pepper is sufficient, it can be fertilized properly according to the plant growth. Topdressing is especially important for wheat stubble pepper. Under the premise of adequate base fertilizer, ammonium bicarbonate 50 kg, superphosphate 50 kg, and potassium sulfate 20 kg can be applied. If foliar fertilizer spraying is better, 0.3% of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be sprayed (16% each). The aqueous solution of compound fertilizer is 50 kilograms, and the growth period can be sprayed for 3 times.

(3) watering and drainage. Chaotian pepper has shallow roots, afraid of drought and waterlogging, especially in the full fruit period, such as lack of water, the yield will be seriously affected. Small water should be watered frequently to keep the soil moist. Hot weather avoid watering at noon, so as not to lower the soil temperature, resulting in fallen leaves, flowers and fruits.

(4) pick the heart and hit the top. Chaotian pepper branch type is obvious, one is the main stem fruit branch, the second is the side branch fruit branch, the third is the side branch fruit branch. The main yield is the fruit composition of the accessory branches, so the main stem and bud should be artificially extracted to promote the lateral branches. If the accessory branch occurs late and the fruit cannot mature, it should be removed in time.

Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests

(1) Diseases. The diseases harmful to Chaotian pepper are broken disease, blight, virus disease, blight and so on, which should be prevented as soon as possible, and the principle of prevention is more important than cure should be adhered to. The epidemic disease occurs frequently from July to August, and the medicine is sprayed every 7 to 8 days. Carbendazim and chlorothalonil can be used for spraying.

(2) insect pests. There are mainly cotton bollworm, tobacco green worm and corn borer, which can be sprayed with 3000 times of cypermethrin or 5000 times of Caesar EC. At ordinary times, we should check carefully and prevent and cure the insects in a small number of hours. When the weather is dry, we should pay attention to the control of red spiders, aphids and so on.

Pot method:

1. You can buy seeds or pull out the seeds from chili peppers to dry.

2, prepare the flowerpot, bigger is better, because the pepper can still grow a big tree, the soil should be rich and soft soil.

3. After sowing, the germination rate will be very high, usually in spring or autumn. Summer sowing is also OK, but you should pay attention to putting it in a shady place when sowing in summer.

4, can not plant too dense ah, because it grows fast, squeezed together nutrition will not be able to keep up, to a few days to fertilize once, mainly water and fertilizer.

5. if you want to bask in the sun, do not water too much when flowering. If there is enough nutrition, the water is too much, and the flowers will not bear fruit.

6. Ensure ventilation. If there are many aphids, brush them off with a brush, or use some insecticides and spray them once.

Attached: pickling method of Chaotian pepper

1. Go to the vegetable market to buy extra fresh chili peppers, wash and dry.

2. Clean up all the tools you need. Hot air can be used to dry the water and then cool the air to reduce the heat.

3. Peel off a large amount of garlic and prepare as much garlic as possible:

4. Prepare some more ginger. You don't need too much ginger, just slice it.

5. Then put the prepared garlic, chili, sliced ginger, rock sugar and a certain amount of salt into a prepared large basin.

6. Shake hard and repeatedly for several times in order to fully mix garlic, chili, ginger slices and rock candy in the basin.

7. Pour the well-mixed garlic, chili, ginger slices and rock sugar into a large jar for pickling

8. Pour in the spirit, and then pass all the chili peppers.

9. Tighten the mouth of the jar again, which is very important. Be sure to tighten it.

10. it is important to pay attention to the fact that you have used enough liquor, so you don't have to worry about it going bad for too long.
