What to Do If Chili Peppers Do Not Grow After Transplanting? Causes and Solutions
Chili peppers are a very popular side dish, containing rich vitamin C, β—carotene, folic acid, magnesium and potassium, and many other elements beneficial to human health. Many people wonder during the process of growing chili peppers, what to do if chili peppers do not grow after transplanting?Below, the editor will introduce this to everyone.
I. What to Do If Chili Peppers Do Not Grow After Transplanting?
You may appropriately apply 3721 rooting liquid, 258 rooting powder, etc., and at the same time reasonably apply organic fertilizer and foliar fertilizer. In addition, you also need to check whether the seedlings have pests or diseases and treat them accordingly.
II. The Effects and Functions of Chili Peppers
① Effects on the digestive system
Chili tincture or capsaicin, taken orally, can serve as a stomachic, helping to promote appetite and improve digestion. Animal experiments (Basarov gastric fistula dogs) proved that the stimulation of chili water on the oral mucosa reflexively strengthens stomach movement. Seasonings made from various chili peppers, after oral administration in humans, can increase saliva secretion and amylase activity. Large oral doses can produce gastritis, enteritis, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. It has been reported that chili peppers have an inhibitory and antispasmodic effect on isolated animal intestinal tracts.
② Antibacterial and insecticidal effects
Capsaicin has a significant inhibitory effect on Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis, but is ineffective against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Its branches and leaves have no antibacterial effect, and only very slightly inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A 10%-20% chili decoction has the effect of killing bedbugs.
③ Rubefacient effect
When used externally as a liniment, it has an irritant effect on the skin, causing reflex dilation of local skin blood vessels and promoting vigorous local blood circulation. The tincture can be used for chilblains; but some people believe that chili peppers only strongly stimulate sensory nerve endings, causing a feeling of warmth, with little effect on blood vessels, and do not cause blistering even at high concentrations, so they cannot be regarded as a rubefacient.
④ Effects on the circulatory system
Pungent substances (ginger, pepper, especially chili peppers) can stimulate the taste receptors of the human tongue, reflexively causing blood pressure to rise (especially diastolic pressure), with no obvious effect on pulse. Capsaicin or chili preparations injected intravenously into anesthetized cats and dogs can cause transient drops in blood pressure, slowed heartbeat and difficulty breathing, which is caused by stimulation of chemoreceptors or stretch receptors in the lungs and coronary artery area. On isolated guinea pig atria, it has a direct excitatory effect, and it also has a contractile effect on rat hind limb blood vessels.
⑤ Other effects
It has been reported abroad that after eating food seasoned with red chili peppers (variety unknown) for 3 weeks, free hydrocortisone in plasma can be significantly increased, and urinary excretion also increases; it can also reduce fibrinolytic activity. The aqueous decoction of the above-ground parts has an excitatory effect on isolated rat uterus.
If you want chili peppers to grow quickly after transplanting, you need to pay more attention during the sowing and seedling raising period. In addition, choosing excellent varieties is also very important.
