Abstract: how to prune and cross chili, and when is the right time to do it?

There will be a lot of side branches in the process of pepper growth, and the growth rate of these side branches is very fast. if the pruning is not carried out in time, the growth of pepper will be affected, daylighting and yield will be affected. therefore, timely pruning and forking in the growth process of pepper is still very necessary.

What is the effect of pruning and forking chili?

In the process of growing chili peppers, pruning and cross work is often needed, so what is the use of pepper cross work? The timely political cross work of pepper is mainly related to the growth habit of pepper. Friends who often plant pepper should know that the side branches of pepper grow fast, and the main branches of pepper are the first and second branches. If there are too many branches of pepper, it will not increase the yield of pepper, but will cause pepper disease, lack of light, decline of pepper quality and other problems. It is precisely because of this that it is necessary to carry out pruning and cross work in a timely manner.

The time of pruning and forking of chili

The pruning of chili peppers should not be done too late or too early. When the side branches of chili peppers grow to about 15 cm, they need to be pruned and crossed. Crosses had better be done in sunny days to avoid infection of chili peppers on rainy days.

The method of pruning and forking of chili

At present, there are four main methods of pruning and forking of pepper, which are three main branches, four main branches, multiple main branches and irregular branches. This is mainly determined by the variety of chili peppers and the planting environment, which will be discussed separately here.

The whole branches of the three main branches are forked, and this trimming method is mainly suitable for pepper varieties of large fruit type, which is generally carried out when the four-door pepper is fruit-setting, leaving three first-class branches and two second-class branches on each first-class branch. Except for the retained primary and secondary branches, the remaining useless branches can be erased. After that, it is necessary to prune and cross the pepper in time according to the growth of the pepper.

The four main branches are forked, and this method is mainly suitable for sweet pepper and horny pepper. The method of forking the four main branches is similar to that of the three main branches. The difference is that the four main branches retain four growth directions and first-class branches with good growth conditions in the process of pruning.

The method of multi-main branch pruning is mainly suitable for the pruning process of sheep horn pepper, generally retaining 5 to 6 first-order branches in the pruning process, this method has more branches and fruit, but the early yield is not high. and the light of pepper is easy to be affected.

The method of irregular pruning and forking is generally suitable for open field cultivation or precocious pepper varieties. Generally, the side branches of chili peppers are pruned when they grow to about 15 cm. The method of pruning is to cut off all the side branches below the door pepper, and pay attention to pruning in time in the later stage.
