How to manage sweet pepper before picking

Sweet pepper is a perennial herb of the genus Capsicum in Solanaceae. Sweet pepper has very high nutritional value and is rich in vitamin C and other nutrients, so it is welcomed by many people. So now there are still a lot of people growing sweet peppers. When planting sweet peppers, we have to adjust the management methods according to the growth stage. So how should we manage sweet pepper before picking? Today, the editor will give you a brief introduction. Let's take a look at it.

1. Reasonable pruning

After the first crop of sweet pepper is fruited and harvested, we should pay attention to pruning and thinning. Therefore, after the first harvest of sweet pepper fruit, the growth rate of some fruiting lateral branches and auxiliary branches on the plant is accelerated, which can easily lead to canopy closure in the field, which will not only consume a lot of nutrition, but also easily produce a variety of diseases. Therefore, we should remove these superfluous side branches in time. Keep the outer side branches of the plant, remove the inner branches, and adjust the plant structure of sweet pepper. On the whole, a sweet pepper plant can retain about 4 fruiting branches to ensure that nutrients are concentrated on the main branches and improve the fruiting rate.

2. Water and fertilizer management

In the first crop of sweet pepper growth, the plant demand for nutrition is very large, and will also consume a lot of nutrition. Then before the first crop of sweet pepper fruit is harvested, we should do a good job in water and fertilizer management, watering and fertilizing in time to supplement sufficient fruit nutrition for the plant. However, if the ground temperature is low during the fruiting period, then the root ability of sweet pepper plants is relatively poor. Therefore, when watering, do not flood irrigation, otherwise it may lead to water rush to the root, resulting in sweet pepper growth affected. When applying fertilizer, we can apply an appropriate amount of water-soluble fertilizer along with the water to meet the water and fertilizer needs of the plant.

3. Pest control

Pest control is also very important, especially in the weather with lower temperature and more Rain Water. If it is in the environment of low temperature and high humidity, it is very easy to produce diseases such as Botrytis cinerea and blight. Therefore, we must do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. Strengthen planting management and cooperate with drug prevention and control. Control the amount of fertilizer and water to avoid causing diseases and insect pests caused by waterlogging. Then often observe the growth of sweet pepper, if there is an abnormal situation, then it is necessary to identify the cause in time, and the use of medicine to avoid the spread of the disease, affecting the growth of sweet pepper.

The above is a brief introduction to how to manage sweet pepper before picking. The management of sweet pepper before picking is very important, if poor management leads to various problems of sweet pepper plants, then it is very disadvantageous to the growth of sweet pepper. Therefore, we must pay more attention to avoid affecting the output and quality. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
