Chili peppers are planted in many places in China, and the common planting methods are open-air and greenhouse planting, and the planting points of the two are also different. The following take a look at the open-air chili pepper general what time to plant? What is the planting method?

One, open-air chili pepper general what time to plant?

Pepper planting time should be based on local climatic conditions to determine, because the pepper has a hot habit, spring and early summer sowing is most suitable, the best sowing period in March to July, the appropriate early sowing will make the pepper more fully grown, more than a few crops of pepper.

For example, in Guangdong, chili peppers can be planted all year round, but the most suitable growth period is spring planting and autumn planting, spring planting sowing period in late January to early February, planting period in mid-March to early April, the harvest period for the May to July, autumn planting sowing period in early August, planting period in September, the harvest period for the October to December.

Two, what is the method of planting open-air chili peppers?

1. Seed treatment

First choose a good variety of chili seeds suitable for local planting, and then put it under the sun for two days, and then put the seeds into a special solution to soak, in order to kill germs. Then the seeds are repeatedly rinsed clean of the chemicals on top, and finally soaked in warm water for about 12 hours.

2. Seedbed management

Generally speaking, after sowing, if the temperature has been kept in the twenties, the chili pepper seeds will be able to emerge in about a week. This time we must ensure that the seedbed is moist, chili pepper seedlings grow to a certain height if you have to ventilate the seedbed, the vent must be based on the growth of seedlings and the weather temperature to flexible control. Pepper planting ten days before you can open air refining seedlings.

3. planting

Pre-planting should be planting soil deep turn over again, applying sufficient fertilizer. Peppers take the planting method is generally furrow planting or flat planting, planting time must be covered with a thin layer of soil.

The pepper plant is very compact, so it is very suitable for dense planting, so that we can improve the yield. Especially for peppers that grow into the fall, proper planting can help you to make early sealing. Planting density is relatively large, the ground coverage is relatively large, the soil temperature and humidity changes are very small, the root system is not easy to be exposed to the sun after a rainstorm, so you can also make the pepper growth become more good.

4. Management

Before harvesting, it should be appropriate to less watering, more additional fertilizer, and in some cases can be combined with a little manure. Need to pay attention to the place is also timely pruning in the first flower below the main stem on the lateral branches. High temperature season to keep the soil moist, inhibit the occurrence of pests and diseases.

The high temperature season and later time is prone to some toxicity to make our pepper drop flowers and fruits, so we should irrigate in the drought head, not irrigation in the drought tail, in the drought before the advent of the soil should always be kept moist, to inhibit the occurrence of pests and diseases; in the rain but also a small amount of fertilizer, irrigation in time, so as to be able to have a better effect of flowers and increase production.
