First, the reason for the rest of chili.

When the summer temperature is hot, not only people will have loss of appetite, but also the feed intake of livestock will decline, and plants will also show symptoms of slow growth. For pepper, the result part is far away from the main stem, coupled with the high temperature, the plant growth will become weaker and weaker, the phenomenon of rest will appear.

II. Prevention and control methods

1. Replenish water in time

When the summer is finished, not only the evaporation of the soil will be faster than before, but the transpiration of the leaves will also increase, and once the plant is short of water, it will lead to the withering and yellowing of the leaves and affect the formation of photosynthates, so it is necessary to replenish water in time in summer. But watering should also be fastidious, watering should not be carried out at noon when the sun is the highest, which may burn the leaves, preferably in the morning when the temperature is low. Watering must be done with small water, and remember to flood the soil with water.

2. Rational fertilization

Pepper needs a large amount of nutrients in the fruiting period, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer frequently after entering the fruiting period, especially after entering the summer day. The fertilization of pepper in fruiting period was mainly nitrogen fertilizer supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. After picking one crop, stagnant water was watered and fertilized to supplement nutrients and water.

3. Topping and pinching

The pepper should be topped and pinched in time during the growth period, which is intended to promote the occurrence of lateral branches and prevent the fruit from being too far away from the main stem and affecting the absorption of nutrients. When planting, it must be topped and pinched many times, usually every half a month. The principle of topping and pinching is that each fruit has two leaves.

4. Remove the old leaves

In the process of continuous growth, the old leaves of the lower parts should be removed in time, which can save nutrients, and the diseased branches and leaves should be removed in time.
