Detailed Explanation of the Latest Planting Methods for Wheat-Stubble Small Chili Peppers
The planting area of small chili peppers in our country is relatively large. When planting small chili peppers, spring planting is generally the main approach. In recent years, however, small chili pepper planting has generally been based on wheat stubble. Although the yield of wheat-stubble small chili peppers is not as high as that of spring-stubble ones, they have fewer speckled peppers, and both the multiple cropping index and economic benefits are very good. So how should wheat-stubble small chili peppers be planted? Today, the editor brings you the planting methods for wheat-stubble small chili peppers. Let's take a look!
1. Seed selection and seedling raising
To plant wheat-stubble small chili peppers, we first need to select good varieties. The varieties should mainly be those with a compact plant type, early maturity and good pepper fruit shape. Then pay attention to doing a good job in seedling raising. The seedling raising time should be about three weeks later than that of spring-stubble small chili peppers, generally around Qingming Festival. First water the seedbed. After the water seeps into the soil, evenly scatter the seeds on the seedbed. Pay attention to controlling the sowing rate. Do not sow too much, so as to avoid thin and weak seedlings and affect seedling recovery after transplanting. After sowing, cover with a layer of fine sandy soil about 1 cm thick, and cover with film. Then during the seedling stage, pay attention to doing good weed control work, and properly ventilate in the later stage.
2. Timely field planting
When planting chili peppers, be sure not to practice continuous cropping. Therefore, the field for field planting must be guaranteed not to have grown chili peppers in the previous three crops. It should be planted in sandy loam soil with high terrain, dryness and normal drainage and irrigation. During field planting, in order to ensure sufficient nutrition for the chili peppers, wheat should be harvested as early as possible, and the stubble should be destroyed and the land prepared as soon as possible. When preparing the land, apply an appropriate amount of superphosphate, ammonium bicarbonate and other fertilizers as base fertilizer, and rotary till it about three times. Because the growth cycle of wheat-stubble small chili peppers is relatively short, the nutritional area of each plant is not large, so proper close planting is needed, and water should be applied immediately after planting to ensure the survival rate.
3. Field management
After the seedlings recover, pay attention to doing good work in intertillage and weed control. Generally, after entering the full branching stage, earth up about twice to promote the growth of lateral roots and avoid waterlogging damage. Then pay attention to doing good work in fertilizer and water management. Wheat-stubble small chili peppers should not be topdressed too much, especially nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it is easy to affect the later reddening of the small chili peppers and reduce their commercial value. During the branching stage, apply an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer per mu. In the later stage, when carrying out pest and disease control, spray an appropriate amount of foliar fertilizer. Finally, the drought and waterlogging tolerance of small chili peppers is relatively poor, so water timely during drought, and in the rainy season pay attention to doing good drainage work to avoid water accumulation.
4. Pest and disease control
Common diseases in the growth of small chili peppers include leaf drop disease, viral disease and others. The occurrence of most diseases is greatly related to weather and environmental conditions. Small chili peppers planted in low-lying areas are extremely prone to disease when encountering high temperature and high humidity environments. Therefore, pay attention to doing good control work, and appropriately use agents such as mancozeb and thiophanate-methyl. Then pay attention to the control of pests such as aphids, improve the growth vigor of small chili peppers, and reasonably use agents such as imidacloprid for control.
The above is a brief introduction to the planting methods for wheat-stubble small chili peppers. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
