Pepper is one of the main vegetable varieties planted in China, especially in the south. For example, people in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou eat a lot of peppers, so it can be said that every meal is inseparable from peppers, perhaps because the air in the south is humid and eating peppers is easy to get wet. Of course, the south is also the main producing area for growing peppers in China, especially those dried peppers used for seasoning. For example, the morning pepper is a very spicy pepper variety, which is widely used in cooking.

Generally speaking, the price of pepper is good this year, especially in the first half of the year, the price of pepper once exceeded the price per catty 12 yuan. It seems that the demand for peppers in the market is in short supply, which makes the situation that some people really can't afford peppers more and more serious. In the second half of the year, the price of pepper fell, and the price of ordinary pepper fell sharply. Even if the weather is cold now, the average wholesale price of pepper in greenhouse is around 1.8 yuan per catty. Of course, the price of peppers in some areas is lower, only about one yuan per catty, but the price of pulling materials in supermarkets is still relatively high, with an average of about three yuan per catty.

Generally speaking, the price of pepper in 2020 is still good. After all, there are only a few main producing areas for pepper cultivation. For pepper cultivation in other places, although there are many greenhouses, they cannot guide the basic market. China is a major consumer of pepper. Every year in the spring when peppers are green and yellow, the import from India and Southeast Asian countries is basically around 654.38+10,000 tons, which is also very large. From this point, we can see that there is enough market demand for pepper. At present, the price of pepper is relatively cheap, and the planting area of pepper will be relatively reduced next year, so the market of pepper next year is still very good.

The planting method of pepper is relatively simple. First of all, the plot must not be waterlogged, because the local peppers are drought-resistant and not waterlogged, especially in areas with more rainy weather, the yield of peppers is relatively low. Secondly, if you use about 3000 kg of farm manure, 80 kg of potassium sulfate compound fertilizer or 200 kg of organic fertilizer per mu. Third, to prevent the occurrence of pepper diseases and insect pests, pepper is particularly prone to rot and fungal diseases. For this area, we must do a good job in disease prevention, especially pest infection. Fungal diseases are very serious, which are very difficult to treat and can only be prevented. Fourthly, for areas with heavy rainfall, it is best to use water retaining facilities in rainy season, such as covering some simple arched sheds to keep out the rain. Of course, seedlings must be raised before planting peppers, and excellent varieties of peppers with local market should be selected when raising seedlings. Only in this way can our own peppers be sold in time.
