How to grow Sichuan pepper? Plant these three varieties in 2019 and earn 2000 yuan per mu

When it comes to Sichuan pepper, everyone probably knows it. It is not only an indispensable seasoning in the kitchen, but also a rather good medicinal herb, so it is planted in many regions. So how do you grow Sichuan pepper well? What varieties should you plant in 2019 to earn 2000 yuan per mu?

1. How do you grow Sichuan pepper well?

1. Choose good varieties

Wild Sichuan pepper actually has a fairly good yield, but it is still not enough for current market demand. Another point is that wild Sichuan pepper grains are relatively small, so later artificial breeding is needed for improvement. Now there are already many varieties of Sichuan pepper, and they all have their own unique advantages, so we can make a reasonable selection according to the local climate and the environment of the planting site, and try to choose varieties with large grains, high yield, strong resistance and easy management.

2. Scientific planting

If you want to grow Sichuan pepper well, then the planting time is also very important. The temperature suitable for the growth of Sichuan pepper must be at least about ten degrees, so we generally choose to plant in March or April each year. Another relatively important condition is choosing suitable soil. We should choose land that faces the sun and has relatively high soil nutrients and organic matter, good permeability and complete drainage and water storage functions for planting. Before planting, we need to deeply plow the land, and when deeply plowing, combine it with organic fertilizer or farmyard manure as base fertilizer to enhance soil fertility. One more point to note is that the seeds should first be soaked in warm water for about a day and a half, then taken out and mixed with plant ash before sowing. The commonly used sowing methods are drilling, hole sowing and transplanting. After sowing, cover with plastic film to keep warm and moist.

3. Field management

When the Sichuan pepper seedlings grow to about ten to fifteen cm, we need to carry out seedling inspection, thinning and replanting management. Generally, planting is done at a spacing of one point five meters between rows and one meter between plants. After planting, the first watering and fertilizing are needed, which can improve the survival rate of the Sichuan pepper trees and promote their growth. On average, about two thousand jin of manure and urine water are needed per mu, and about thirty jin of potassium fertilizer or calcium fertilizer and other trace element fertilizers can be applied to improve the soil. Usually, topdressing should wait until the Sichuan pepper enters the flowering stage, but topdressing still needs to be carried out according to the growth of the plants. If the growth is poor, then of course multiple topdressings are needed. One relatively important point is that watering, fertilizing and weeding are best carried out together, which is beneficial to nutrient absorption.

4. Branch and leaf management

If you want Sichuan pepper to grow well, have high yield and excellent quality, then branch and leaf management is a very key link. Because the branches and leaves of Sichuan pepper grow relatively fast and very densely, but plant growth needs sufficient sunlight, so if we want to maintain reasonable density and permeability in the field, then pruning of branches and leaves is necessary. But pruning does not mean cutting randomly; it has certain requirements. First, in order to increase yield, old branches, diseased branches, weak branches and dense branches need to be cut off. Second, in order to make the tree shape more attractive and pleasing to the eye, the direction of branch and leaf growth should be properly adjusted. Finally, in order to facilitate harvesting, it is best to let the Sichuan pepper trees grow horizontally.

2. What varieties should you plant in 2019 to earn 2000 yuan per mu?

The planting area of Sichuan pepper in our country is very extensive. At present, the main planting areas of Sichuan pepper include Sichuan, Henan, Yunnan, Shanxi and other places. In these areas, the planting area of Sichuan pepper is large, the yield is high, and the quality is all very superior. Sichuan pepper has a long planting history in our country, and its variation is complex and diverse. At present, the main varieties of Sichuan pepper in our country include green pepper, Dahongpao, Jiuyeqing, Fengjiao, autumn pepper, large pepper, small pepper and other varieties. In addition to these commonly heard Sichuan pepper varieties, each Sichuan pepper planting area also has its own local specialty Sichuan pepper varieties, such as the green pepper variety of Jinyang in Sichuan, the Dahongpao Sichuan pepper of Hancheng in Shaanxi, and the Zhenglu pepper of Maowen and Hanyuan in Sichuan. These several kinds of Sichuan pepper each have their own characteristics.

1. Dahongpao Sichuan pepper

Dahongpao Sichuan pepper is the most widely planted variety, and the Hancheng Dahongpao Sichuan pepper is especially the best. It is bright red in color, has a rich and lasting aroma, moderate numbing taste, and a concentrated and lasting pungent numbing sensation. Its yield is also relatively high. The ecological habits of Dahongpao Sichuan pepper are not very different from ordinary Sichuan pepper. It likes light, is suitable for warm and humid fertile loam soil, is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, and not waterlogging-tolerant.

2. Jiuyeqing Sichuan pepper

Jiuyeqing Sichuan pepper is the most competitive early-maturing variety among Sichuan pepper strains. It has the characteristics of fresh fruit fragrance and pure numbing taste. It is drought-tolerant and can be planted in mountainous areas, hills, river beaches, beside houses and other places.

3. Qin'an No. 1

Qin'an No. 1 is a new short-branch-type Sichuan pepper variety and a new variant of the Dahongpao Sichuan pepper series. It has the characteristics of early maturity, high yield, stable high quality and a wide trial planting range.

The above is an introduction to Sichuan pepper cultivation techniques and varieties. I hope it is helpful to you.
