How to choose chili seeds? What are the methods of raising seedlings?

Chili is an indispensable seasoning on our table, the strong aroma can stimulate more delicious food, especially in Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places, eat more spicy. The planting area of chili peppers in our country is constantly expanding, and many friends in rural areas will also plant a little in their own yard. Spring ploughing Festival is coming soon, and many friends have begun to choose and grow chili peppers, so how to choose chili peppers? What are the methods of raising seedlings? Next, let's have a look with the editor.

First, how to choose the seeds of chili?

Pepper seeds should be selected correctly, and after planting once, if the varieties of the year are better, you can keep the seeds, so that the fruit rate in the coming year can be guaranteed. However, before planting, we have to mix a certain amount of organic fertilizer into the original soil, and then carry out deep ploughing, so that the combination of the two is more conducive to the growth of seedlings.

Second, what are the methods of raising pepper seedlings?

1. Seedling raising time

The time for raising pepper seedlings in spring is generally chosen in mid-late February, that is, early spring, when all things grow, and strong seedlings can be cultivated at low temperature, which can be put on the market early to increase the income of growing vegetables.

2. Seed treatment

The main method of raising pepper seedlings is sowing. Before sowing, the seeds should be soaked in water at room temperature for about 8 hours. The time should not be too long, otherwise it will lead to serious loss of nutrition and reduce the germination rate. It should not be too short, otherwise the seeds will not absorb enough water and will also affect germination. After soaking the seeds, drain the seeds, then put them on a wet cloth and wrap them in plastic bags. Then put the plastic bag at a temperature of about 30 degrees to do the budding work. When sprouting, the seeds need to be turned properly every day to make the seeds heated evenly. After about 5 days, about 75% of the seeds can be sown after they are exposed.

3. Nursery bed selection

The seedling bed of hot pepper should be selected on the soil with leeward, sufficient light, thick and soft and normal drainage and irrigation. The previous crops in the soil should not be potatoes, peppers and other crops. Then according to the planting quantity to control the area, the seedling ditch should not be too wide and too long, otherwise it will affect the growth of seedlings. Then it is necessary to prepare nutritious soil to ensure adequate nutrition, aseptic and insect-free. The nutritious soil is mainly mixed with field soil, farm manure and carbendazim. It can not only provide nutrition for seedling growth, but also do a good job of pest control at seedling stage.

4. Sowing seeds at the right time

Before sowing, we should first pour enough water on the seedbed and wait until all the water seeps into the soil before sowing. Generally speaking, the sowing method of pepper is mainly sowing, and it should be sprinkled on the seedbed comprehensively and evenly to promote the whole seedling. After sowing, mix the soil with seedlings, fungi, enemies and other agents to cover the seeds. To prevent the occurrence of diseases such as quenching disease in pepper seedling stage. And also cover it with a layer of nutritious soil of about one centimeter, and then cover with a layer of plastic film. Improve the heat preservation and moisture retention ability of the seedling bed, promote seed germination and improve the seedling emergence rate.

5. Seedbed management

After sowing, the temperature should be controlled well, the temperature during the day should be kept at about 22 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night should be controlled at about 10 degrees. Remove the plastic film when about 65% of the seeds emerge, and if the temperature is too high at noon, do a good job of ventilation and cooling to prevent the phenomenon of burning seedlings when the temperature is too high. Then to control the moisture, if the soil is dry, you can spray water properly, not too much. Then, when the seedlings grow about two true leaves, we should properly thinning the seedlings, retain the robust seedlings, and improve the growth space of the seedlings. Finally, the seedling refining work was carried out half a month before planting to make the seedlings adapt to the external environment and improve the survival rate.

The above is the introduction of chili peppers. In the daily production of chili peppers, it is often easy to produce irregular seedlings and slow emergence, so farmers who plant chili peppers must strengthen management and select pepper seeds of good quality.
