The Latest Pepper Planting Techniques and Management Methods Tutorial

Peppers are grown on a very large area in our country, and peppers are very popular in many provinces, such as Hunan and Sichuan. The annual sales volume of peppers is relatively large, and their economic value is quite considerable. So now the planting area is also constantly expanding, so how exactly should peppers be planted? And how should they be managed? Below, the editor will give you a brief introduction, let's take a look!

1. Preparation before sowing

First, we need to control the sowing rate well; the seed rate per mu is about 50 grams. Then soak the seeds in clean water for about 3 hours. Then use agents such as agricultural streptomycin for disinfection work, and after disinfection, wash the seeds clean and they can be sown. Then we also need to pay attention to preparing the seedling nutrient soil well, mixing garden soil with farmyard manure, and appropriately adding agents such as carbendazim. After mixing well, water thoroughly, then cover with a layer of fine soil, and then sow appropriately; after sowing, another layer of fine soil should be covered over the seeds to improve the soil's moisture-holding capacity.

2. Timely planting out

Pepper seedlings need to be planted out according to soil temperature, generally when the soil temperature is above 15 degrees. Do not plant out too early; if planted out too early, the soil temperature has not yet risen, which will inhibit the growth of pepper seedlings and cause adverse phenomena such as flower and fruit drop. When planting out, we need to control the planting density well and adjust it appropriately according to the variety. For example, for early-maturing varieties, the row spacing for planting out should be controlled at about 45cm, and the plant spacing should be kept at about 30cm. For late-maturing varieties, the row and plant spacing should each be increased by about 25cm. Finally, the planting out time should be chosen on a sunny day, preferably in the afternoon, to make it easier to pull up the seedlings.

3. Water and fertilizer management

After planting out, we should appropriately apply seedling-promoting fertilizer, but not too much, otherwise the pepper seedlings are prone to excessive vegetative growth, delaying the flowering and fruiting period. After the plant has set fruit on the first and second layers, the amount of topdressing should be appropriately increased to provide nutrients for pepper fruit expansion. After entering the harvest period, it is even more necessary to ensure sufficient fertilizer and water. When watering, we should adjust the irrigation time and irrigation amount according to factors such as weather and soil. If the rainy season comes, drainage should be carried out in time, otherwise leaf drop and dead plants are very likely to occur.

4. Cultivation and weeding

After the pepper seedlings survive planting out, we should pay attention to doing a good job in cultivation and weeding management. After planting out, cultivate shallowly once appropriately to improve soil permeability and break up compaction. Then after the plants begin to grow, increase the intensity of cultivation to promote root growth. Before the rows close, carry out the final cultivation. Cultivation can not only improve soil structure and promote pepper growth, but also achieve the purpose of weeding, preventing weeds from affecting the growth of pepper seedlings and reducing yield.

The above is a brief introduction to pepper planting techniques and management. Pepper planting techniques are actually relatively simple; when planting, the main thing is to do a good job in management to ensure normal pepper growth. That's all for today's introduction.
