2. Characteristics of thornless pepper

Everyone knows that when growing thorny pepper, harvesting is the most difficult task, because most of it is mainly harvested by hand, and the pepper thorns can prick your hands. If you want to harvest quickly, it is generally difficult to achieve, which makes pepper harvesting very inefficient. But the emergence of thornless pepper makes up for this. When it is mature, the harvesting speed is relatively fast, and the labor cost is also relatively lower. However, thornless pepper still has some disadvantages.

For example, compared with thorny pepper, the cultivation technology for thornless pepper is not very mature and has not yet been vigorously promoted, so growing it may be a bit more difficult. In addition, the yield of thornless pepper is much lower than that of thorny pepper, and the quality is also a bit worse. Growers can consider all factors to see which variety of pepper seedlings they actually want to grow.

3. Key points for growing thornless pepper

1. Pruning

In the first year of the young tree stage, let thornless pepper grow freely and do not prune. By the second year, you can keep five or six branches, and in the third year keep three or four branches. Note that in the young tree stage, there should not be too many main branches, as they are more difficult to care for. Of course, there should not be too few either, otherwise the overall growth will be very slow.

2. Planting time

Thornless pepper can generally be planted in both spring and autumn. For spring planting, choose the time after the soil thaws and when the temperature rises slightly. For autumn planting, choosing the rainy season is better.

3. Planting method

Before planting thornless pepper, note that it is best to disinfect the root system to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. The planting density should be reasonable, and base fertilizer should be applied in advance to help early growth. The planting depth should be appropriate; if it is too deep, it is easy to cause the thornless pepper seedlings to grow too slowly.

After planting, water once, thoroughly in one go. If the soil is relatively moist during the rainy season, then you do not need to water; the specifics depend on the situation.
