First of all, about peppers.
1. The distribution of pepper
Pepper is an annual or limited perennial herb, also known as horn pepper, long pepper, vegetable pepper, lantern pepper and so on. In the tropical region of Latin America, the country of origin is Mexico, and now it is widely planted all over the world. In China, it is mainly distributed in Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Henan (Xichuan County), Jize County of Hebei Province and Tuoketuo County of Inner Mongolia.
2. Pepper varieties
Pepper varieties include vegetable pepper (variety), persimmon pepper, morning pepper and cluster pepper. Commonly used varieties are Indian pepper 17, millet spicy, bullet, new generation, lantern pepper, Shizhuhong, Erjingtiao and so on. You can choose the most suitable variety according to different local environmental conditions.
3. The yield per mu of pepper
Generally, the yield per mu of pepper varies with varieties, regions, production environment and climate, but the yield per mu of pepper produced by specialized households is usually around 500 kg, and the managed pepper can even reach 1000 kg. Generally, the annual income of pepper in an acre of land is about 6000- 16000 yuan, and the removal cost is about 3000- 13000 yuan.
In addition, in addition to fresh peppers, it can be further processed into Chili sauce, dried peppers, etc., which can increase the added value of products.
Second, pepper planting time and new methods
The yield of pepper is one of the keys to high yield when planting pepper, so the following are the planting time and new methods to help seedlings emerge and strengthen seedlings.
(A) the pepper planting time
Pepper is suitable for sowing in spring or early summer, and the best sowing date is March-July, which can be adjusted according to the climate situation in that year. Like Guangdong, the temperature is high, and it can be planted all year round.
(2) New methods of pepper planting
1. Soak pepper seeds with chemicals.
In order to control the common and frequent pepper anthracnose, bacterial spot disease and virus disease, the seeds were pre-soaked in clear water for 5 hours, then soaked in 1% copper sulfate solution, 10% trisodium phosphate solution and 2% sodium hydroxide solution for 10 minute respectively, and then washed with clear water to promote germination.
2. Soaked seeds germinate at different temperatures.
Wrap the soaked seeds in wet cloth and put them in a warm place to accelerate germination. 28-30℃ control 18 hours, 6 hours a day control 16-20℃. Turn over and rub twice a day regularly, so that it will be heated and moistened evenly and germinate evenly and powerfully. Generally, after 4-7 days, when the germination rate reaches above 80%, it can be cooled to 65438 00℃ and tempered for about 7 hours before sowing.
3. Divide the seedlings into roots after sowing.
Prepare the seedbed according to the routine requirements, use farmyard manure, water the bottom of the seedbed before sowing, and sprinkle nutrient soil. Then evenly spread the germinated seeds, spread the plastic film, and build a small arch shed to cover the film, so as to increase the temperature and moisture, and promote early emergence, whole seedling and Miao Zhuang. When the seedlings grow to 4-5 true leaves, the rows and holes are 10 cm square, and two plants in each hole are transplanted into the adjacent arch shed for tube culture. 10-20 true leaves, when the seedling age is 90- 1 10 days, can be transplanted into the field in sunny days.
