Causes of poor growth of hot pepper in early spring and its mitigation measures

In rural areas, basically every household will plant chili peppers, and now it is the time when chili peppers are sown, but it is found that the seedlings of chili peppers are not growing well after sowing. The strength of pepper seedlings is directly related to the yield in the later stage, so what is the reason for the poor growth of pepper seedlings? Let's get to know it with the editor.

1. Causes of poor growth of pepper in early spring

1. Soil consolidation

After planting, pepper seedlings will only grow 2-3 secondary roots, which is caused by soil consolidation, resulting in poor root growth. When the content of soil organic matter in the protected area is too low, the soil consolidation phenomenon will be aggravated, especially in sandy loam soil, the soil permeability is poor, which will often lead to poor growth of pepper seedlings. The effective solution is to increase the application of organic fertilizer, increase the content of organic matter, improve soil aggregate structure and permeability, and improve soil water and fertility.

2. Fertilizer damage

In the production process, the use of fertilizer is too right, there will also be the phenomenon of burning seedlings, this phenomenon will generally cause root rot, if not treated in time, a large number of roots may be burned. Once the fertilizer damage occurs, it should be paddled and watered in time, and the fertilizer concentration should be diluted by watering.

3. Drug damage

There are three main ways to cause drug damage to pepper. First, after the treatment of soil chemicals, the plough layer is not fully ventilated, and there are many pesticide residues in the soil, which seriously affect the growth of seedlings. Second, excessive use of pesticides in the planting hole during planting, the use of disease control pesticides during planting can effectively control pepper seedling diseases, but once the pesticide is overused, there will be drug damage. Third, planting dipped in the root is too high concentration, resulting in burning seedlings, in planting with Aktai, Prik, foliar fertilizer dipped in the root of the seedlings, after planting to play a role in the control of whitefly, aphids, and promote the rapid growth of seedlings. However, once the concentration of the agent is more than 600 times, it is very easy to burn seedlings, resulting in poor seedling growth.

II. Mitigation measures

When the soil moisture is suitable, the seedlings should be planted in sunny days, the more sunny days, the more conducive to root-soil coincidence, shorten the slow seedling period, and quickly restore growth. In transplanting, in addition to watering enough fixed root water, slow seedlings should not be watered again before flowering, only mild watering is needed in continuous drought, when the young fruit grows to about 3 cm, it can be irrigated in case of drought, do not flood irrigation. Pepper likes fertilizer and is afraid of fertilizer, so it is sensitive to fertilizer, so fertilizer should be combined with organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer, and organic fertilizer should be ripened by retting. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied at the seedling stage, but not excessive nitrogen fertilizer, but also with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and trace elements to prevent the occurrence of element deficiency.

The above is the introduction of the causes of poor growth of early spring pepper and mitigation measures, hope to help you, want to know more related knowledge, please pay attention to us.
