2. What are the seedling cultivation methods for chili pepper seeds?

1. Selection of chili pepper seeds

To increase the germination rate of chili pepper seeds, you must first choose a good chili pepper seed variety. First select a chili pepper mother plant with vigorous growth, pick well-developed chili peppers, and then select plump chili pepper seeds from them.

2. Soaking treatment of chili pepper seeds

After selecting the seeds, the seeds must be soaked. First place the seeds in warm water at 40-55 degrees Celsius and soak for 5-6 hours, then take the seeds out and drain them. Then place them in a seed-soaking agent and soak for 7-8 hours. The seed-soaking agent is mainly composed of trace elements such as copper sulfate and zinc sulfate, so as to increase chili pepper yield and promote early maturity. Of course, trisodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide and other substances can also be added to disinfect the seeds. After the seeds have finished soaking, they can be washed clean with clear water and then subjected to germination promotion.

3. Germination promotion

Germination promotion is a key measure to ensure fast emergence and uniform seedlings after sowing chili peppers. After soaking for 8~10 hours, filter and spin dry, wrap well with a wet towel, place in an incubator at about 30 degrees C, and maintain a certain humidity for germination promotion. Generally, turn them once about every 6 hours, and take them out every 24 hours to wash with clear water. It should be noted that after the chili pepper seeds break white, stop washing to avoid damaging the seedlings. When 2/3 of the seeds have germinated, they can be sown.

4. Seedbed preparation

The seedbed for chili pepper seedling cultivation should be selected as a plot that is sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, with strong water retention, and loose and fertile soil. The previous crop should not be solanaceous crops. 15 days before sowing, the seedbed soil should be deeply plowed, and an appropriate amount of farmyard manure and calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer can be spread to improve soil fertility, and 50% carbendazim 800-fold solution, dexon 800-fold solution, and acetochlor should be used for soil disinfection and weed control in the seedbed.

5. Sowing and seedling cultivation

After the seedbed is leveled, water thoroughly 1 day before sowing. Before sowing, first rake the bed surface level and loose, then sow the seeds on the bed surface at a certain spacing; when sowing, fine soil or fine sand can also be used to mix the seeds so that the seeds separate and are distributed more evenly on the bed surface. After sowing, cover with a layer of disinfected organic matter, water with a watering can, and lay a film close to the ground to increase ground temperature and humidity.

Then use bamboo strips to make a round arched frame. The distance from the highest point of the shed to the bed surface is 0.5~0.6 m, and then cover it with a 2 m wide film, and cover all around with soil to achieve the effect of heat preservation.

The above is an introduction to chili pepper seeds. During germination promotion, chili peppers have very strict oxygen requirements. The air permeability of the gauze should be strengthened to ensure an oxygen content above 10%. When about 80% of the seeds have broken white and split open or have roots exposed, stop germination promotion and proceed to the next step of sowing and seedling cultivation.
