What diseases do pepper seeds contain? What methods can prevent and control these diseases? We invite knowledgeable readers to help explain.Generally, the diseases carried in pepper seeds include damping-off seedlings, Rhizoctonia solani seedling blight, bacterial spot of pepper, pepper viral disease, pepper Phytophthora blight, pepper Verticillium wilt, and so on. Therefore, Zhongdiwang has compiled several seed-soaking methods for preventing and controlling the above diseases, listed in detail below for readers' reference.
Method one,Hot water seed soaking: soak the seeds in hot water at 60°C, with the water amount being 3 times the seed amount. First pour the seeds in slowly while stirring, and when the temperature drops to 25-30°C, soak for 12-24 hours. This method has a controlling effect on all diseases transmitted by pepper seeds.
Method two,Using the zinc sulfate seed soaking method, soak the seeds in a zinc sulfate solution at a concentration of 0.2-0.4% at 20-25°C for 12 hours. This method has an inhibitory effect on pepper viral disease.
Method three,Using the copper sulfate seed soaking method, first soak the pepper seeds in clean water for 10-12 minutes, then soak them in a 1% copper sulfate solution for 5 minutes, take them out and rinse clean with clean water. This method can prevent sweet pepper anthracnose and bacterial angular leaf spot.
Method four,Using the carbendazim seed soaking method, first soak the pepper seeds in cold water for 3-4 hours, then transfer them into a 500-fold dilution of 50% carbendazim wettable powder and soak for 1 hour, then rinse clean with clean water. It can kill or attenuate pepper viruses.
Method five,Using the sodium hypochlorite seed soaking method, soak pepper seeds in 1% sodium hypochlorite for 5-10 minutes, then rinse clean with clean water. It can prevent pepper Phytophthora blight, Verticillium wilt, anthracnose and other diseases.
