What planting density is suitable for peppers

It is an important vegetable and condiment; the seed oil is edible, and the fruit also has anthelmintic and diaphoretic medicinal effects. It is cultivated in most areas of our country, so what is the density of peppers?

1. What is the density of peppers?

Generally, the planting density of peppers is 3000-4000 hills per mu, with a row spacing of 50-60cm and a plant spacing of 25-30Cm. The method of planting 2 or 3 plants per hill is mostly used for transplanting.

2. What are the precautions for planting peppers?

1. The seedling age of spring peppers is about 110 days, and some can reach more than 150 days. In northern regions, transplanting usually can only be done in mid-April and late May. Peppers themselves have high and stable yields, but the yield reduction in some places is caused by variety degeneration. It is caused by poor disease resistance and severe diseases. The planting plot should be selected as spring white land where solanaceous fruit vegetables, cucumbers, and yellow tobacco have not been planted in recent years. Plots that have just harvested overwintering spinach are also not good. About 7 days before transplanting, apply 5000 kg of farmyard manure, 75 kg of superphosphate, and 30 kg of ammonium bicarbonate per mu as base fertilizer, open furrows according to a 70 cm row spacing, level, form ridges, cover with film, and wait for transplanting. For transplanting, a 30 cm plant spacing can be used, with seedlings in two adjacent rows staggered, and one plant per hill. 2500-3000 hills per 667 sq m.

2. From after transplanting to the fruiting stage is the early stage of pepper field management. In management, it is necessary to promote roots, promote seedlings, and promote plant development. At the next interval, attention should be paid to watering and intertillage. 15 days after transplanting, topdress with 10 kg of phosphate fertilizer and 5 kg of urea, and combine with intertillage and hilling to a height of 10-13 cm to protect the root system and prevent lodging. After entering the full fruiting stage, the focus of management is to strengthen seedlings and promote fruit. Remove the first pepper in time to prevent the fruit from falling and causing decline in growth. Combined with watering and fertilizing, topdress 20 kg of phosphate fertilizer and 5 kg of urea per 667 sq m, and again hill up the roots. Pay attention to drainage and waterlogging prevention. Combine spraying foliar fertilizer and hormones to supplement nutrients and prevent viruses.

3. Peppers are sensitive to many herbicides during the growth period, especially 2,4D emulsifiable concentrate. Improper spraying of pesticides will cause serious phytotoxicity to peppers.

The planting density of peppers also needs to be appropriately adjusted according to factors such as variety, soil conditions, and planting time.
