High benefit of interplanting chili pepper between rows of young trees

A few years ago, some farmers who planted fruit trees achieved higher economic benefits, so in recent years, there are still some farmers continue to plant fruit trees. However, the fruit tree has a long cycle and will not be harvested for several years after planting.

In order to increase income, farmers also interplant low crops such as wheat and soybeans in young trees, but interplanting these traditional crops not only has low economic benefits, but also is troublesome to harvest and easy to damage fruit trees. In order to solve the worries of farmers, the Agricultural Technology extension Center of Jize County, Hebei Province, the hometown of chili peppers in China, successfully popularized the interplanting of chili peppers in the fields of young trees, and achieved high economic benefits.

This autumn, the author saw in the farmland in the east of Jize County that the young fruit trees of one to three or four years old had luxuriant branches, and the chili peppers interplanted in the rows of fruit trees were covered with branches. Zhang, who was busy picking chili peppers, told me that he had interplanted chili peppers in his more than 5 mu fruit tree row this year, and some fruit trees began to hang fruit, and some were newly planted that year. Young fruit trees for a year or two have little effect on the yield of chili peppers, and the quality of chili peppers interplanted in the fruit trees is better than that of single chili peppers. He pointed to the nectarine trees and said that the nectarines in this one and a half mu of land were set in the first year and sold for more than 5000 yuan in summer. I think this chili pepper can be sold for at least five or six thousand yuan. In Jize County, like Zhang Lao Han, it is very common to choose to interplant chili peppers among the rows of young trees this year.

It is understood that this year, the county will guide farmers to interplant more than 5000 mu of chili peppers in economic forests such as grapes, apples, peaches, honeysuckle and green belts, and it is estimated that the income per mu will be more than 2000 yuan more than that of traditional wheat and soybeans.
