Economic benefits of planting chili

Before the development of pepper cultivation, pepper is generally cultivated in the open field, sowing or setting value after frost, and harvested from early summer to the coming of the first frost. With the improvement of protected cultivation technology, pepper protected cultivation has also made great progress, such as small arch greenhouse cultivation, plastic greenhouse cultivation, solar greenhouse cultivation and so on. Therefore, pepper in many parts of the country, through the combination of open field and protected field cultivation and the cooperation of various cultivation stubble, can achieve annual production and annual supply. The yield level and benefit of pepper varies greatly with different cultivation methods and different stubble. For example, the yield per mu of pepper cultivated in open field is 35004000kg and the income per mu is 15002500 yuan. The yield of pepper cultivated in the second overwintering protected field is 45005000kg per mu and the income is 6000008000 yuan.

At present, the main problems in pepper production in various places are as follows: first, the cultivation yield of open-field pepper is unstable, and in years of high temperature and drought, pepper virus disease is seriously harmful in some areas, with an incidence of more than 50%, or even no production. However, during the harvest of chili peppers, the rates of high temperature, drought, rotten fruit and stiff fruit are high. Third, the phenomenon of falling flowers, fruit and leaves of pepper is still common. In order to realize the annual supply of pepper products, various protection measures have been used in the north in recent years, which can make pepper harvest ahead of time in spring, delay growth in late autumn and early winter, and improve yield and economic benefits. When cultivated in solar greenhouse for winter, the yield can reach more than 4000 kg.

As pepper is more resistant to transport, pepper production base can be established in suitable areas, make full use of the advantages of local natural resources, reasonable arrangement of production, through fresh-keeping, remote transportation, to meet the annual supply demand.
