In the mature season, picking chili peppers will be picked more frequently, in order to prevent from trampling on the potato vine, it will be turned over, this time is very conducive to sweet potato vine melon.

two。 Pepper and corn hybrid

Pepper and corn mixed is also a very common way, corn is generally used as the dominant coarse grain, not a staple grain, so people sometimes mix different varieties of corn to pepper geography, such as sweet corn, waxy corn and so on. The reason for the geographical mixed planting of pepper corn is that the growth cycle time of maize is shorter, and its main stem is larger than that of pepper tree, so it has a certain shading effect, so most of the interplanting in pepper field is beneficial.

3. Mixed pepper and melon

Because muskmelon is a green plant with vines, it grows in pepper fields and can control weeds. As muskmelon seedlings grow up, vines will occupy the free land in pepper fields and compete with all kinds of weeds for nutrients and growth space, so weeds can not grow at all in areas where muskmelon seedlings are abundant. And chili trees can also play a shading effect for melons, will not be exposed to the melon seedlings.

4. Mixed varieties of chili and leek

Usually leek can be planted around April, and if the temperature in your area is relatively high, you can also plant it earlier. As the leek main stem is too short, it can be planted on both sides of the pepper field, but it should be noted that when mixing, because the pepper seedlings are relatively high, we must pay attention to the spacing, so that the leek can get sufficient sunlight, natural ventilation and so on. in order to facilitate its growth, otherwise it will affect the yield.
