The Latest Technical Methods and Tutorial for Field Management of Peppers

Pepper is a very common spicy vegetable in our daily life. Its vitamin content and other nutrients are relatively high. It has extremely strong adaptability to the environment and is grown all over the country. For pepper cultivation to achieve high yields, scientific field management is indispensable. So today, the editor wants to share with you the field management techniques for peppers, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

1. Management during the seedling stage

Management during the seedling stage is the foundation of pepper growth. During the seedling stage, we mainly need to control field moisture, temperature, and other aspects. After pepper seedlings emerge and grow, we need to water them in a timely manner so they can grow quickly. The next thing is that the field temperature should be controlled at around 15 to 20 degrees. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will affect the growth and development of pepper seedlings.

2. Management during the growing period

The growing period mainly refers to the stage from pepper transplanting to before fruit set, which all belongs to the growing period. At this stage, we mainly need to manage field weeds as well as water and fertilizer issues. After pepper transplanting, water once, which can improve the survival rate of peppers. Next, wait until the pepper seedlings grow new roots, branches, and leaves, and when they reach about 15 cm, carry out the second watering and intertillage weeding, and combine this with fertilization. This fertilization should mainly use urea and compound fertilizer, and of course, manure and urine water can also be used as a substitute. Finally, according to the growing condition of the pepper seedlings, the moisture level of the field soil, and the growth of weeds, carry out reasonable weeding, watering, fertilization, and drainage.

3. Management during the fruiting period

When peppers are setting fruit, the temperature is also gradually rising, so during this period we need to do a good job in cooling management. In the early stage of fruit set, we only need to fertilize, water, and weed according to the growth condition of the peppers, mainly focusing on potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer. By the time peppers enter the peak fruiting period, the temperature is already very high. In order to prevent the pepper seedlings from being damaged by heat, it is best to water twice a day. The first watering is best done in the morning before the sun rises, and the second is done after the sun sets each day. At the same time, there are relatively many pests and diseases during this period, so prevention and treatment management should be done promptly to ensure the yield and quality of peppers.

4. Later-stage management

Later-stage management mainly refers to the period after the peak fruiting period of peppers. After the peak fruiting period, the fruit-setting amount of peppers will gradually decline, but we can delay the fruiting period through scientific field management, thereby ensuring the yield of peppers to a certain extent. We mainly achieve this effect through fertilization. During this period, we can apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer and at the same time spray foliar fertilizer. This can prevent the aging of pepper seedlings, promote the growth of new branches, and thereby increase the fruit-setting amount.
