How to increase the yield of chili

Chili is the most common side dish in our life, especially in Hunan, Chongqing and other places. The main growing areas of pepper are also distributed in these provinces. Now the market of pepper is getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for yield is getting higher and higher. Many friends are trying their best to increase the yield of pepper. So how to increase the yield of chili peppers? The following editor has brought you a way to improve the yield of chili peppers. Let's have a look!

1. Select superior species

Pepper variety selection is very important, in seed selection should pay attention to observe the surface of seeds, do not choose obvious wounds, diseases and insect pests and withered seeds. Select the seeds with high yield and strong disease resistance to ensure the growth of pepper and promote the growth of pepper. After seed selection, we should put the seeds in clean water, then pick out the floating and dried seeds, and then do a good job of disinfection to ensure the overall quality of the seeds, and we also need to soak the seeds to accelerate germination and improve the germination rate of the seeds. At present, there are many varieties of pepper in China, including Jingjiao 2, Sujiao 14 and so on.

2. Pruning and picking leaves

Pepper plants are relatively short, but the branches and leaves are luxuriant, if you do not do a good job of shaping and picking leaves, it is likely to lead to complex branches and leaves, decreased permeability and hindered growth. Therefore, we should prune properly in planting, and pruning is mainly to leave inside and outside. Because the inner chamber of the pepper plant is not exposed to much light, and the fruit is underdeveloped, it is necessary to focus on the removal and protection of the external branches. Then the leaves such as old and weak, diseases and insect pests and yellowing in the lower part of the plant were removed to avoid consuming too much nutrition and concentrate nutrients on the effective leaves. And lateral branches need to be removed to reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests.

3. Water and fertilizer management

The nutritional requirements of pepper will continue to change with its growth, in the process of pepper growth to ensure that there are sufficient nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients. Generally speaking, pepper has the greatest demand for nitrogen fertilizer, and the lowest demand is phosphorus, so it is necessary to reasonably adjust the proportion of fertilizer nutrition and control fertilizer reasonably according to soil fertility and pepper growth. The same is true of its water requirements, with different water requirements at different growth stages, such as keeping the soil moist at the seedling stage, while the water demand at the flowering and fruiting stage will be greatly increased, requiring watering at least once a day.

4. Pest control

Diseases and insect pests are the greatest threat to the yield of pepper, diseases and insect pests will cause great harm to all parts of the plant, resulting in plant falling flowers and fruits, reducing the rate of flowering and fruiting, and in serious cases, it will lead to plant death. Therefore, in the whole growth period of pepper, we should do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, enhance the disease resistance of plants, strengthen the immune system, and reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests. The common diseases and insect pests of hot pepper are sudden disease, aphids and so on. We should give priority to prevention, and then combine agriculture with chemical control. Create a good environment for the growth of chili.

The above is a brief introduction of how to improve the yield of hot pepper, in which we need to pay attention to water and fertilizer management, water and fertilizer management is very important. It should not be excessive, but it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient nutrient water, and the amount of watering and fertilizer should be controlled according to the growth of pepper plants. Therefore, it is quite troublesome, and we must pay attention to it. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
