The planting method of Pepper

1. Soil selection and land preparation

The root system of pepper is weak, so it is necessary to have good conditions for planting soil, and it is best to choose areas with sufficient light on the sunny or gentle slope. the pepper grown with sufficient light is not only large, but also has a good taste, and should not be planted in places where there is no sunshine for a long time. The soil is neutral or weakly alkaline, avoid acidic soil, if the soil acidity is high, you can use lime powder to neutralize, if the alkalinity is high, you can add cinder neutralization.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

The seeds are treated before sowing, and the seeds are exposed to the sun for two days, which can not only improve the germination rate, but also kill the germs carried by the seeds, or soak them with diluted or potassium permanganate for sterilization, and then soak them in warm water for about 12 hours. Spread the seeds evenly on the seedbed, cover the soil with 1cm or so, spray water to moist the soil, keep the temperature between 25-28 degrees, germinate and germinate in about a week, and colonize the seedlings when they reach 5cm.

3. Planting management

The root system of hot pepper is weak, so it is suitable to be planted in trench or flat planting, and it should not be buried deeply at the beginning of planting, but should be covered with soil shallowly and gradually cultivated with its growth. The plant type of pepper is compact and can be planted densely. Generally, the spacing between plants is 30-45cm and the row spacing is 50-60cm. The growth of pepper is inseparable from water, the water is sufficient, and the flesh of the fruit is thick and juicy, so it needs to be watered frequently to keep the soil moist, but not too wet, otherwise it is easy to cause plant root rot, fungicides can be added regularly when watering.

Planting time

Hot pepper is hot-loving and suitable to grow in a mild and sunny environment, so the planting time is determined by the local climate, such as Guangdong, where the temperature is higher all the year round, so it can be planted at any time. While in other areas, the planting time is generally from March to July, when the temperature and light are suitable for pepper growth, early sowing can make it grow more fully and harvest more fruit.
