Lifestyle knowledge: A discussion on how to plant green peppers to increase yield and the cultivation techniques and management of green peppers in the field of ornamental plants and flowers. Let's take a look together.
In southern regions, peppers can be planted all year round, with the most suitable growing seasons being spring and autumn. The sowing period for spring planting is from late January to early February, the transplanting period is from mid-March to early April, and the harvesting period is from May to July. For autumn planting, the sowing period is in early August, the transplanting period is in September, and the harvesting period is from October to December.
Green Pepper Cultivation Techniques
1. Ensure uniform seedling emergence after sowing. During seed soaking, select seeds by water to remove the unripe ones. Soak seeds in warm water for 7-8 hours, then drain the water and place them in a temperature of 25-30°C to germinate. After sowing, evenly cover with 1 centimeter of soil, and maintain a soil temperature of at least 17-18°C during the seedling emergence period.
Take measures to ensure the development of the seedling roots. First, prepare a well-aerated and fertile seedbed. Secondly, avoid excessive thinning, and protect the roots to prevent severe root damage. Ensure a larger nutrient area for single seedlings. When thinning in pairs, separate large and small seedlings to avoid the larger ones dominating the smaller ones. In management, focus on promoting growth by providing higher temperatures and humidity, known as "hot seedling raising." Gradually harden the seedlings 7-10 days before transplanting, mainly by lowering the temperature and slightly controlling water to avoid drought damage to the roots.
2. Prepare the land and apply base fertilizer: Choose fertile, well-drained loamy or sandy loamy soil. Apply sufficient high-quality, decomposed organic fertilizer as base fertilizer.
3. Transplanting: Transplanting should start after the end of late frost, when the average daily temperature stabilizes at around 17°C. Pepper roots are shallow, so it's best to transplant in shallow trenches, with shallow soil coverage initially, and then gradually build up mounds.
The planting density of green peppers varies depending on the variety and growth period. The general production density is 3000-4000 holes per mu (double plants), with row spacing of 50-60 centimeters and plant spacing of 25-33 centimeters.
Green Pepper Planting Precautions:
The density of planting green peppers is also important. Green peppers have a compact plant shape, making them suitable for dense planting. Studies have shown that dense planting of green peppers can increase yield, especially since they can continue to grow until autumn, which is very suitable for farmers. When the weather is bad, especially after heavy rain, the advantage of dense planting is that it is less likely to be exposed to direct sunlight, which can promote root and seedling growth. The density of planting green peppers is usually about 3000 to 4000 plants per mu, with row spacing of 50 to 60 centimeters and plant spacing of about 25 to 30 centimeters. To increase yield, the method of transplanting is important, such as single-row planting on large ridges and double-row dense planting on large ridges.
How to plant green peppers to increase yield
Watering: Apply 5kg of Kingked Organic Silicon Water-Soluble Fertilizer per mu, from seedling recovery to the initial flowering and fruiting stages, applying once each time, alternating with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers. After using Kingked Organic Silicon Water-Soluble Fertilizer, apply water or large-element fertilizers next time, using them alternately.
1. Promote root growth and increase root volume
2. Short internodes, prevent excessive growth
3. Increase pollen vitality, more flowers and fruits
4. Increase epidermal hardness, fruit resistance to impact, extend shelf life by 7-15 days, and improve taste
Foliar Spraying: Use Kingked Organic Silicon Foliar Fertilizer
1. Seedling stage: Mix 30ml of Kingked Organic Silicon Foliar Fertilizer with a spray bottle (30 pounds of water), spray once every 7-10 days, for a total of 2 times.
2. Growth stage: Mix 50ml of Kingked Organic Silicon Foliar Fertilizer with a spray bottle (30 pounds of water), spray once every 7-10 days, continuously for 4-6 times.
3. Excessive growth stage: Mix 80ml of Kingked Organic Silicon Foliar Fertilizer with a spray bottle (30 pounds of water), spray once every 7-10 days, continuously for 3-4 times.
1. Improve soil acidity, compaction, prevent seedling death, and promote balanced absorption of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium
2. Promote root growth and increase root volume
3. Strong plants, short internodes, prevent excessive growth, thick and shiny leaves, extend green period
4. Increase pollen vitality, more flowers and fruits, increase yield
5. Increase epidermal hardness, good taste, fruit resistance to impact, extend shelf life by 7-15 days
6. Effectively reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests such as powdery mildew, wilt, leaf spot, and aphids
The above is a detailed introduction on how to plant green peppers to increase yield and the cultivation techniques and management of green peppers, hoping to provide some knowledge of flowers for green plant enthusiasts.
