Matters needing attention in planting chili peppers in autumn

The root system of pepper is shallow, the root system is weak, the rooting ability is poor, and it is greatly affected by low temperature, while the autumn pepper is generally carried out at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, when the temperature is still relatively high, in order to enhance the stress resistance of pepper and make it grow healthily, we should pay attention to a few points when planting, and let's have a look together with the editor.

1. Rational watering

Many vegetable farmers understand that pepper is a crop that likes water and is afraid of waterlogging, and it is sometimes misunderstood on the issue of watering, fearing that flooding will cause anoxia, rotting roots and dead seedlings. Therefore, the way of small water irrigation has been adopted in the planting, which will appear the phenomenon of surface moisture but deep soil drought, which makes the root system can only extend in the shallow soil layer, which is not conducive to the deep root system and reduces the stress resistance of the plant. Therefore, in the cultivation of chili peppers in autumn, the planting water must be watered thoroughly, and then watered frequently according to the principle of small water.

2. Intermediate ploughing

In order to increase the stress resistance and promote the robust growth of hot pepper, it is necessary to draw a hoe frequently after planting, which has a lot of benefits, can not loosen the soil, improve the permeability of the soil, increase the respiration of the root system, promote the deep root system, and is beneficial to the growth and development of the root system. in addition, it can remove weeds and reduce the humidity in the greenhouse. It should be noted that when hoeing, we should follow the principle of from near to far and from deep to shallow, that is, when the seedlings are hoeing, they should be closer to the seedlings, and when the seedlings are bigger, they should be farther away from the seedlings and shallower, so as to avoid root damage.

3. Rational application of rooting agent

Because pepper takes root slowly, it is necessary to properly apply rooting agent to promote root growth and improve the slow seedling speed of pepper. Generally, the rooting agent can be dipped in the root during planting or irrigated with rooting agent after planting. In addition, the application of chitin fertilizer or biological bacterial fertilizer with water can improve the growth and development of the root system.

4. Plant management

In order to increase leaf area and accelerate plant growth, some side branches and old functional leaves can be trimmed the night before fruit setting, and then the side branches, diseased leaves and old leaves can be removed after fruit setting. This not only controls the overgrowth of the plant, but also adjusts the growth of the plant, and at the same time shades the plant and reduces the ground temperature. After fruit setting, these lateral branches should be removed in time, so as not to compete with plants and fruits for nutrition, resulting in reduced yield and weakening plant growth.
