2. Planting costs and benefits
1.Planting costs.
The planting cost of purple pepper mainly includes seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, labor and other expenses. Among them, the cost of seedlings occupies a certain proportion. According to the survey data, about 1,000 purple color hemp pepper seedlings are needed per mu, and the unit price of the seedlings is about 10 yuan per plant. In addition, the cost of fertilizers and pesticides also requires a certain amount of investment. Overall, the planting cost per mu is about 15,000 yuan.
2.Earnings analysis.
The yield of purple color hemp pepper is high, and about 3,000 kg of fresh pepper can be harvested per mu. At present, the purple color sesame pepper on the market is about 60 yuan, so the output value of each mu is about 360,000-400,000 yuan. After deducting the planting cost, the net profit per mu is about 210,000-250,000 yuan. If you invest 150,000 yuan to plant 10 acres of land, the annual income can reach 2.1 million to 2.5 million yuan.
3. Planting techniques and precautions
1.Land selection and land preparation.
Choose plots with loose, fertile, and well-drained soil for planting. Before sowing, the soil is finely broken and flat, which is conducive to the germination of seeds and the growth of seedlings.
2.Sowing and planting.
Choose healthy, pest-free seedlings for planting. Generally, the sowing method is carried out by hole sowing, and 2-3 seeds are placed at each hole point to cover a thin layer of soil. When the seedlings grow to a certain height, they are transplanted and planted, generally 800-1000 plants per mu.
3.Fertilizer and water management.
During the growing period, fertilization and watering should be carried out at the right time. Generally, farmhouse fertilizer or compound fertilizer is used as the base fertilizer, and appropriate top dressing is carried out during the growth process. At the same time, care should be taken to keep the soil moist and avoid drought or waterlogging.
4.Pest and disease control.
Purple peppers are also susceptible to pests and diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to observation in the planting process and take timely measures to prevent and control it. Generally, a combination of biological control, chemical control and physical control is used for prevention and control.
Fourth, real case sharing
Take a farmer in Sichuan Province, for example, who has chosen to engage in purple pepper cultivation in recent years. Through careful management and scientific management, his pepper production has increased year by year, and the quality has also been recognized by the market. Now his chili peppers are in short supply, as high as 60 yuan per catty, and he is not worried about sales. By planting purple peppers alone, his annual income has reached more than 150,000 yuan.
In short, as a new type of pepper variety, purple color hemp pepper has broad market prospects and high returns. Through scientific planting management and reasonable input, rich returns can be obtained. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the work of land selection, land preparation, sowing and planting, fertilizer and water management, and pest control, so as to better engage in this industry.
