How to grow pepper
If you want to understand the knowledge of flowers and plants on how to grow Zanthoxylum bungeanum and the methods and techniques for growing Zanthoxylum bungeanum, the next step is a comprehensive introduction.
Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a deciduous shrub of the subgenus Zanthoxylum bungeanum in the Rutaceae family. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a widely distributed spice and oil tree species with a long history of cultivation in our country. It has many uses and high economic value. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is an important condiment in Sichuan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other regions, and is grown in most parts of the country. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not grown in Taiwan, Hainan and Guangdong.
1. Seed collection of Zanthoxylum bungeanum seeds for seedling raising should be picked from 10-20-year-old Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees that grow vigorously, produce many fruits, have sufficient hemp and fragrance, and are free of pests and diseases. Harvest when the outer skin of Zanthoxylum bungeanum fruits all turns purple and the inner skin coat turns blue-black. The harvested fruits are placed indoors in the shade. Those used as seeds cannot be exposed to the sun to avoid reducing the germination power of the seeds.
2. Seed treatment The shell of Zanthoxylum bungeanum seeds is relatively hard and has a layer of wax. Water is not easy to penetrate, and the germination rate is low without treatment. It must be degreased or peeled before sowing.
Treatment method for peeling skin: Remove the iron head on the head of the stone pestle (or use a small stone pestle for domestic kneading pepper noodles), put the ripe and sun-dried pepper seeds into the pestle and gently smash the outer shell, usually mash for about 3 minutes, when the outer shell of most of the seeds has broken, take it out and sow directly. Because after the shell is ruptured, water easily enters the shell, causing the germ to expand and generate outward thrust to separate the seed shell and germinate, which can increase the germination rate.
Degreasing treatment method: Use 25 grams of orexin per 1 kilogram of seeds, add water that can drown the seeds, remove the empty shells, soak for two days, then rub the seeds, wash away the fat on the surface of the seeds, and then remove them and you can sow directly.
3. Sowing, seedling raising, Zanthoxylum bungeanum sowing can be done in autumn or spring sowing. In areas with severe spring drought, autumn sowing is better. The sowing time is generally from November to around the vernal equinox solar term.
4. Select a seedbed soil with fertile, loose and well-drained sandy loam soil. Apply 2000 kilograms of manure and 100 kilograms of phosphate fertilizer per mu. Deep-plowing and ridging, and the box width is 1 meter. Drill sowing is used, with a strip spacing of 20-25 cm, a trench depth of 5 cm, and covered with about 1 cm of fine soil after sowing. The seedlings can be sprouted in April. After emergence, the seedlings will be thinned when the seedlings are 4-5 cm high, and the seedlings will be retained at a distance of 10-15 cm. From June to July, combined with watering and top-dressing application of human and animal manure, 300-400 kilograms or chemical fertilizer will be applied per mu. 6-8 kilograms. Pay attention to drainage and flood prevention in the rainy season. During the growth and development of Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings, strengthen intercropping weeding and control of pests and diseases.
5. Select Zanthoxylum bungeanum afforestation sites. Zanthoxylum bungeanum afforestation sites should choose plots with deep and loose soil layers and good drainage on the middle and lower parts of sunny slopes. Don't select seeds for low-lying areas where water is prone to accumulation, sandy soil and clay soil. It is better to have a slightly acidic to neutral soil acidity. It is also suitable to plant pepper before and after the house.
6. Planting should be carried out in spring when the buds of Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings begin to germinate, and in winter before and after the beginning of winter. During planting, dig a pit with a diameter of 30 cm and a depth of 25 cm, fill it with a proper amount of moist soil, then place the Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings in the center of the pit to stretch the root system, then fill it in layers and make it solid, and pour it with root water after transplanting.
7. After cultivating and weeding pepper, weeding should be carried out every year in spring and summer and after the pepper is harvested. Beans or green manure can also be interplanted in the forest to implement farming instead of nursing.
8. Topdressing Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a fertile crop. Appropriate topdressing fertilizer must be applied to ensure high and stable yields. Generally, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly applied from germination to flowering. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are the main ingredients for the vigorous growth period of new shoots after fruit setting. Apply farm manure once after the pepper is harvested and before the leaves fall.
