Main content introduction: Experience in the planting methods and timing of bell peppers, as well as the planting methods and timing of bell peppers compared to五彩辣椒 (colorful chili peppers). The following article will provide you with detailed answers.
1. Colorful bell peppers are generally planted for a long season (growth cycle of 10 to 12 months), while ordinary bell peppers are usually planted for a short season (growth cycle of 3 to 5 months). This is determined by the shape, color, size of the fruit, as well as the growth, maturity, disease resistance, and sales price of the variety.
2. In planting, ordinary bell peppers have a high density, sometimes with two plants per hole, reaching a maximum density of 8000 plants per mu, without pruning or trellising. The planting density of colorful bell peppers is only about 3000 plants per mu, with single plant planting, each plant retaining 2 to 4 branches and trellised planting.
3. For spring greenhouse planting, seedlings are sown in early January, transplanted in late March, harvesting begins in late June, and the crop is finished by June to July of the following year. For summer greenhouse planting, seedlings are sown in April, transplanted in mid-May, harvesting begins in late August, and the crop is finished by May of the following year.
