Lantern pepper is a kind of chili peppers with peculiar fruits which are native to Canada. Lantern pepper plant height of 1-1.2 meters, thick stem, branching strong, flowers are white, fruit peculiar, fruit length of about 5 cm. Lantern pepper is lantern-shaped, fruit around the irregular bump, the center protrudes like a nipple. The young fruits are green, and when ripe, they are deep red and very colorful. Lantern pepper adaptability, cultivation is easy and the same as the general pepper, but in the growing period should pay attention to the prevention and control of wilt disease. Here we will introduce the cultivation technology of lantern pepper. Lantern pepper sowing and seedling management: choose the wind to the sun, loose soil, drainage and irrigation is convenient, has not been planted tomato crops garden land or better fertility of the plot as a seedbed. Deep turning before sowing, and the application of fully rotted organic fertilizer, 1 acre of planting field needs seedbed 10-15 square meters. Local traditional sowing time in April 10 or so, open field nursery, seedling slow, planting late, short harvest period. Therefore, seedlings can be raised in small arches, sown from mid to late March to around April 5, and planted in early May. The day before sowing, the seedbed will be filled with bottom water, when the soil moisture is suitable for ground preparation, made 1.2 meters wide bed. Requirements seedbed soil and fertilizer mixed evenly, to achieve flat, fine standards after sowing. Before sowing, the lantern pepper seeds sunshine for about 1 day, with 55 ℃ hot water to soak the seeds for 15 minutes, and then respectively with 0.5% copper sulfate solution and 10% trisodium phosphate solution to soak the seeds for 10 minutes, fished out and washed, and then soaked the seeds for 3-4 hours after sowing. Even sowing, 1 square meter sowing 10 grams of seed, 100-150 grams of seed per acre of field. After sowing with a shovel gently beat the bed, so that the seeds and bed soil tight, cover a layer of 1 cm thick fine soil after covering the film, build a small arched roof covered with film, insulation and moisturizing nursery. Before the emergence of seedlings, mainly heat preservation to promote the emergence of seedlings. During the day, the temperature in the shed is maintained at 25-30 ℃, and at night at 15 ℃ or more. After the emergence of seedlings, the daytime control at 20-25 ℃, the night to maintain more than 15 ℃, such as the night temperature is too low, need to be covered with straw insulation in the arched trellis, sunny days to prevent high-temperature baked seedlings, the temperature is too high, timely uncovering the film ventilation and cooling. 2 leaves and 1 heart, with 0.2% urea and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate liquid foliar fertilizer for 1 time. If the bed soil is too dry, use 15-20 ℃ warm water to spray water properly. At the same time, it is necessary to carry out 1-2 times of inter-seeding, inter-seeding too dense, too weak, diseased seedlings, and pulling out weeds. Use 72.2% Prilosec 700 times liquid to prevent and control sudden collapse disease and epidemic disease, and use 2.5% trichlorfon emulsion 2000 times liquid to prevent and control aphids. Planting and field management: choose deep soil, drainage and irrigation, fertile soil, the previous year has not been planted tomato crops loam or sandy loam soil, deep turning 30 cm or so, according to the mu of organic fertilizer 5,000-6,000 kg and nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium ternary composite fertilizer 50 kg for the basal fertilizer, the whole land for the border, border width of 1.7 m, the ditch width of 30-40 cm, the requirements of the border is smooth and covered with mulch. early in mid May, chili pepper In the first half of May, when the chili pepper has 3 leaves and 1 heart, it is planted. 4-5 hours before planting, the seedbed should be watered once, as much as possible when moving seedlings with soil, to reduce the injury to the root. Each bed planted 4 rows, single planting, row spacing of 33 cm × 40 cm, mu planted about 4500 plants. Planting should be selected in the afternoon of a sunny day or a cloudy day, while moving seedlings, and watering the root. Sealed with soil around the planting mouth. After the planting of bell peppers, in case of high temperature and chili peppers are not sealed line, you can mulch weeds on the mulch to reduce the temperature and reduce the lack of seedlings. When high temperature and drought, watering can be done in the early morning or evening. In addition, it is necessary to remove weeds in the field in a timely manner, and drain the water in a timely manner after rain. Before the red lantern pepper fruits, watch the seedling to supplement the fertilizer. After fruiting, strengthen the fertilizer management, can break the film to apply rotted human manure or compound fertilizer liquid, in addition, can be foliar spraying 0.3% urea and 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate liquid, 10 days 1 time, even spray 3-4 times. After the lantern pepper into the fruiting period, the first layer of fruit should be removed in a timely manner in the lower part of the old leaves, diseased leaves, yellow leaves, the fruiting period, the over-dense foliage and branching below the lateral branches removed to reduce nutrient consumption, in order to facilitate ventilation and light. Disease and pest control ⑴ Disease control. According to different diseases, timely selection of the right agent spray control 2-3 times. Control anthracnose, bacterial leaf spot disease, sores eggplant disease, white star disease, etc. with 70% Purex powder 500 times solution; 72.2% Prilosec 700 times solution to control epidemics, soft rot; 95% of DT 2500 times solution to control green blight, wilt; 20% of Virus A 400 times solution to control viral diseases. Multiple agents should be used alternately to prevent resistance. Pharmaceutical control should be started before or at the beginning of the onset of the disease, 1 time every 7-10 days, stick to the middle and late fruiting, and stop using drugs 7-10 days before harvest. (2) Pest control. Timely treatment of aphids can also prevent the occurrence of virus diseases. Commonly used agents are 2.5% diquat emulsion 2000 times liquid, 10% Dagongshen 1000 times liquid, etc.; cotton bollworms and sooty bollworm, to get a good measurement, 3 days after the peak of egg-laying, timely use of 35% Saidan emulsion 1000 times liquid or 5% Sharp Jinte suspension 1500 times liquid prevention and control. Tea mites can be controlled with 20% mite emulsion; bugs and other pests, in the adult egg-laying period, you can remove the egg masses on the chili pepper leaves or the waking masses, a small number of them can be captured manually before and after noon. With 2.5% dichlorvos emulsion 2000 times liquid or 35% Saidan emulsion 1000 times liquid on adults and worms have a very good prevention effect.
