Matters needing attention in pruning chili

In the process of pepper planting, in order to ensure that the pepper has a good hanging fruit and effectively increase the yield, it is necessary to prune the pepper. So how to prune the chili? What are the precautions for pruning? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Pay attention to the pruning position

Pruning should be cut at the mouth of four big branches. Pepper generally has four big branches. when entering the high temperature season, the four big branches will expand into eight side branches, which will affect the permeability when they grow up, and bear less fruit. It is also easy to fall and rot, and it may also cause various diseases, resulting in a decline in yield and poor quality. When pruning, eight side branches are cut off so that nutrients are supplied centrally with four big branches, which can not only improve permeability, but also improve yield and quality, killing two birds with one stone.

2. Pay attention to the pruning time

Pruning time is also important, it should be carried out in the high temperature period in summer, and it is appropriate to carry out from late July to early and mid-August, when the first crop of fruit has been picked and the plant is in a state of off-pruning under the condition of little temperature difference between day and night. at this time, the pruning effect is the best.

3. Pay attention to the pruning method

Pruning should be carried out with sharp scissors, which should be smooth to prevent infection of diseases and insect pests after pruning, and do not break branches with bare hands, which will cause greater damage to the plant. When pruning, pruning the branches that cause serious damage to diseases and insect pests, too many drooping branches in the early stage, and improper management of broken branches, and the branches trimmed by bare hands should be collected and taken out of the field in time, especially those with serious diseases and insect pests. It should be taken out of the field to prevent the bacteria from continuing to infect.

4. Pay attention to post-cutting management

After pruning, quick-acting fertilizer and watering should be applied in time, generally applying 5-7.5 kg urea per mu to promote plant growth, development and fruit. if the soil is relatively dry, topdressing and watering can be combined to increase the utilization rate of fertilizer. It can also be foliar sprayed with a mixture of urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate of low concentration, and choose to spray in the morning and evening of cloudy or sunny days. In addition, after pruning, we should also pay attention to weeding and control of diseases and insect pests.
