How to transplant and plant pepper seedlings
If you want to know how to transplant and plant pepper seedlings, as well as the methods and steps for transplanting pepper seedlings, the following is a specific introduction to the green plant and flower planting content:
This year, the pepper seedlings in my family did not germinate well, and many seedlings were missing. When it was time to transplant the peppers, my dad managed to buy 6,000 pepper seedlings from a distance for 600 yuan. After transplanting, there was no sunshine for two consecutive days, and the seedlings stood firmly, thinking they had survived. However, on the third day when the sun came out, I overlooked it a bit, and by noon when I went to the field, all the seedlings had wilted.
The pepper seedlings in our family were planted on plastic mulch. Since the plastic mulch can become very hot under the sun, the top of the seedlings were all laid on the film, and they were all burned, which was truly heartbreaking. The loss was significant, and my dad was worried sick.
When transplanting pepper seedlings, the following points should be noted. This year, we didn't do well with these points, which led to such a惨象.
1. Hardening off: We always raise seedlings in greenhouses. From sowing to before transplanting, in order to keep warm, the film has never been uncovered, and the pepper seedlings have not been exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore, for about a week before transplanting, as long as it's sunny, the film should be uncovered every morning. From morning to noon, the temperature gradually rises, and the seedlings can gradually adapt. Therefore, it is definitely not possible to uncover the film at noon. At night, it should be covered to keep warm, so that the pepper seedlings can grow. During this process, the seedlings will gradually adapt to direct sunlight, and the seedlings themselves will become stocky, and the leaf color will become slightly yellow, not as tender as before. The 6,000 seedlings we bought were too tender and not hardened off, so they couldn't adapt to direct sunlight.
2. Weather: It's best to choose consecutive cloudy days for transplanting. The newly transplanted pepper seedlings cannot absorb water and can easily wilt under direct sunlight. Generally, it will be fine after three days. Even if they wilt, there's no need to worry too much, as long as the top doesn't fall directly onto the film. Therefore, in our area, after transplanting pepper seedlings, we usually sprinkle wood ash around the roots, and the seedlings will fall on these wood ashes, not touching the high temperature of the film, and won't get burned. By evening, they will all stand up.
3. Pest and disease control: When transplanting peppers, we spray insect and fungus repellent. At the same time, we can water the seedlings. If no pesticide is applied, the newly planted seedlings may have their roots eaten in no time. Seedlings that wilt for this reason are certainly beyond saving.
If the pepper seedlings wilt but are not completely dead, they can still be saved by certain methods, but the situation should be considered. Therefore, when transplanting, the above points must be taken into account. This year, the peppers were too tender.
The above introduction on how to transplant and plant pepper seedlings and the methods and steps for transplanting pepper seedlings are hoped to be liked by everyone!
