Latest roundup of common problems in pepper cultivation
Pepper, as a common cooking aid, can be said to be an indispensable crop to grow nowadays. Although the history of pepper cultivation in our country is long, there are still many problems encountered today, and quite a few friends have suffered losses from the following situations. Let's take a look below at the common problems when growing peppers.
1. Planting in the original bed
The carrying capacity of the soil is limited. Nowadays, while farming, one must also pay attention to nourishing the soil, and planting in the original bed is one of the major taboos for pepper growers. Some people simply clear away the pepper seedlings after harvest, then prepare to start a second round of planting, and finally find that the seedlings grown are in poor condition, small and weak. This is because the growers did not clean the garden and nourish the soil, and the root system of the pepper seedlings simply does not grow in the original holes. Under such circumstances, the peppers naturally cannot grow well.
2. Flower and bud drop
Pepper plants bear a lot of fruit every year, but not every pepper can grow out. If only a small amount drops, then it is basically a normal phenomenon. There are many factors that cause abnormal flower and bud drop, and farmers mainly need to pay attention to the weather environment, fertilizer and insect pests, as other situations are relatively rare. If the weather is bad, take preventive measures, then supplement fertilizer in a targeted way, and finally check whether it is caused by disease, and this problem can be solved.
3. Not cleaning the garden when rotating crops
After the harvest of every crop, the garden needs to be cleaned, thoroughly cleaned, and pepper growers easily overlook this problem. Generally, they wait until the next planting and then just slightly turn the soil. In fact, by that time it is already too late, and many pathogens have hidden in the soil and are not easy to eliminate. After each harvest, it is best to loosen the soil in time, clean up the residues in the soil, then sterilize it, and after a period of time apply fertilizer to nourish the soil, waiting for crop rotation and planting. Only in this way will the subsequent planting results be good.
4. Seeds not sprouting
When cultivating seeds, the most commonly encountered situation is failure to sprout. There are mainly two reasons for this: one is a problem with the seeds, and the other is that the temperature is not up to standard. If some fail to sprout, then it is basically those seeds that have problems. If almost none sprout, then it may be that the temperature was not controlled well. 20-25 degrees C is when pepper seeds sprout relatively quickly, and below 15 degrees C they may not sprout, so attention should be paid to this. Second, try to keep the soil moist, as long as the water does not accumulate.
The above are some of the problems easily encountered when growing peppers, and everyone should try to avoid these situations. Most pepper diseases are somewhat contagious, and this is also something everyone needs to prevent.
