When will Chaotian pepper be planted?

Chaotianjiao, also known as small pepper, Wangtian pepper, etc., is a perennial semi-woody plant belonging to Capsicum of Solanaceae. Chaotianjiao is an excellent cash crop, which has a strong market demand, so it has become the choice of many farmers. So, when is the pepper planted? How should I plant it? The planting time and method of pepper are described as follows.

1. The planting time of pepper

Generally in mid-March or so, choose continuous sunny days without wind, sowing in the morning. In North China, spring direct seeding is generally sown before and after grain rain, and sunny and warm weather is selected for sowing. Row spacing is about 40 cm, sowing depth is 2 cm, sowing depth should be consistent, seeds should be evenly distributed, soil should be covered above the sowing ditch, and attention should be paid to moisture preservation.

Second, the cultivation method of pepper

1. Variety selection: select varieties with compact plant shape, large fruit yield, cluster fruit, dark red and bright fruit color, fast and orderly fruit maturity, low water content in pulp, high dry pepper rate, high spicy degree, good commodity quality, suitable for cultivation in this area. Such as Japan three cherry pepper, a new generation of three cherry pepper, short tree cluster bullet, Tianyu No. 3 and so on.

2. Sowing and seedling raising: soaking seeds in warm water at 50-55 DEG C for 2-3 days before sowing, keeping the water temperature, stirring for 15-20 minutes, taking out the seeds, soaking the seeds in 10% trisodium phosphate or 0.3% potassium permanganate solution for 20 minutes, taking out the washing liquid medicine, wrapping them with clean white gauze, germinating at 25-30 DEG C, and sowing when 80% of the seeds are exposed to white. Small arched shed shall be adopted for seedling raising, and greenhouse shall be adopted for seedling raising if conditions permit. The seedbed shall select loose and fertile plots without pepper planting. 200kg of high-quality decomposed farm manure, 0.5kg of urea and 0.1kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate shall be applied every 10m2 in combination with ploughing, and 100g of 50% carbendazim wettable powder shall be used for soil treatment. The sowing time is in the first and middle of March, the soil moisture is fully irrigated on the day before sowing, and the nutrient soil with the thickness of 0.5-0.8 cm is evenly covered after sowing, and the shed is tightly pressed.

3. Cultivate strong seedlings: the key to cultivating strong seedlings is to strengthen seedling bed management and strengthen roots. Strong seedling and developed root system are the basis of high and stable yield of pepper. In the early and middle stages of seedling cultivation, it is mainly to promote seedling growth. In the early stage, it is necessary to keep warm and freeze, so as to promote early emergence and full seedling; in the middle stage, it is necessary to adjust temperature and humidity reasonably to prevent seedling burning and promote seedling growth; in the later stage, it is necessary to conduct seedling tempering, control irrigation amount, prevent excessive growth, improve seedling adaptability and promote flower bud differentiation. 2-3 When the true leaves are unfolded, the seedlings must be thinned. If the seedlings grow crowded, the endless seedlings will be like weeds. Therefore, the seedlings must be thinned, and the weeds must be removed in combination with the thinning seedlings. Pay attention to protecting the root system from excessive root damage.

4. Fertilization and soil preparation, rational close planting: before planting, pepper should be well fertilized and soil preparation, and farm manure should be applied as base fertilizer in the field to increase the organic matter content of soil. 500 kg of high quality dried chicken manure should be sown on every 667 square meters of ridge before transplanting wheat pepper. Chaotianjiao varieties are generally compact in plant shape and suitable for dense planting. Close planting in a certain range can not only increase the number of trees, improve the yield per unit area, but also prevent lodging. About 11000 plants can be planted per 667 square meters, and the planting depth is about 4 cm. After planting, water is poured, and the seedling water is shallowly watered every 7-10 days.

5. Scientific management of fertilizer and water, improve the quality of pepper fruit: combined with irrigation of slow seedling water, early application of light fertilizer, every 667 square meters can be applied with 10 kg urea, and then intertillage, squatting seedlings. Chaotianjiao to harvest mature fruit for the purpose, topdressing in addition to nitrogen fertilizer, but also should pay attention to the application of phosphorus, potassium and micro-fertilizer, should pay special attention to foliar spraying boron, manganese and zinc compound micro-fertilizer, can make the leaves dark green, plant robust, prevent flower drop fruit, wheat pepper after wheat harvest every 667 square meters to timely topdressing potassium sulfate compound fertilizer 40-50 kg. After pepper fruit begins to turn red, water should be controlled to promote fruit maturity. In case of heavy rain, it should be controlled to grow vigorously, otherwise the plant will grow green and reduce fruit quality.

6. Harvest: The fruits of colorful peppers planted in the open field generally begin to mature in the middle and late August. They should be cut in time to increase their economic benefits. The mature peppers can be listed or hung in a ventilated and dry place to dry them for consumption or sale as commercial peppers. Disease, stem base rot, constriction and death. At the early stage of disease, spray 72.2% Prochloraz solution 400 times or 15% hymexiline (Tujunxiao) 450 times to control.

Chaotianjiao likes sunny light environment, heat resistance but not frost resistance, need special attention in the planting process. The above introduces the planting time and method of pepper. Do you know it?
