How to make pepper seedlings grow fast

Pepper is an indispensable side dish every day in many provinces of our country, and there is a great market demand in our country, so the planting area of pepper is very large. When growing hot pepper, management is very important, especially when the pepper is in the seedling stage, the management of this period directly affects the yield and quality of hot pepper. So how to manage to make pepper seedlings grow fast? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Reasonable close planting

The plant type of pepper seedlings is relatively compact because it has not yet fully expanded. However, because the branching ability of pepper seedlings is not strong, basically will not grow only, and has a strong negative tolerance, so it is suitable for close planting. Reasonable close planting can make good use of light and soil fertility and promote the coordinated development of pepper seedlings. So as to improve the pepper setting rate of pepper seedlings and the quality of pepper. And compared with sparse planting, reasonable close planting can appropriately reduce air temperature, soil temperature and light intensity during the period of high temperature in summer, which is a necessary measure for high yield of hot pepper.

2. Timely shading

Pepper seedlings have certain requirements for light environment, and pepper seedlings generally like to grow in a semi-shaded environment. In the semi-shaded environment, pepper has stronger growth ability, lower leaf defoliation rate, less diseases and insect pests and higher pepper setting rate. According to the survey of professional data, the yield per plant of pepper planted in semi-shaded environment is about 5% higher than that in the field. Therefore, when we plant chili peppers, it is best to interplant with high-stem crops such as corn. In this way, it can not only increase the yield of chili, but also harvest corn and increase the source of income.

3. Fertilizer and water management

If you want pepper seedlings to grow fast, then fertilizer and water management is very important. When applying fertilizer, one-time application of 40kg or so of chili pepper formula fertilizer, in the pepper seedling growth period can not be topdressing. However, if the soil fertility is poor or the ability to maintain fertilizer is weak, then it can be properly watered and combined with the right amount of available fertilizer. Then about 10 days after the pepper seedlings are planted, they usually enter the re-seedling stage. At this time, it is necessary to apply an appropriate amount of urea, and then appropriate shallow hoe to speed up the growth rate of pepper seedlings.

4. Ploughing and weeding

Weeding by ploughing is also an important measure to make pepper seedlings grow fast. In the growing period of pepper seedlings, it is necessary to plough at least three times, mainly with a shallow hoe in the first time, appropriate depth in the second time, and finally, in the third time, be careful not to hurt the roots of the pepper. However, it mainly depends on the actual situation, if the soil hardening occurs after transplanting. Then you have to hoe twice or so, and after the chili leaves are topped, you have to hoe again. Then, before the pepper is closed, it is necessary to do a good job of soil cultivation and root preservation to improve the drainage of the field. It can not only avoid the lodging phenomenon of hot pepper, but also improve the water and moisture conservation of the soil.
