Pepper management skills, the secret of flowering and fruiting is here
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the beginning of spring. Spring is on, and the temperature is gradually getting warmer. When the temperature warms up, people in the countryside have to be busy tidying up their vegetable gardens and preparing them for planting all kinds of vegetables. Among the many vegetables, it is the most loved by the villagers and the first one to be planted.
Most farmers will choose plastic film, so that they can eat chili peppers faster. Although most people grow chili peppers, not every year they harvest that much. It's not easy to get more chili peppers. Next, let's take a look at how to increase the seed yield of Sichuan pepper.
1. Cultivate strong seedlings. In general, the seeds are planted first and then transplanted to other places. However, once the seedlings are planted, there will be strong ones and weak ones. So, what we have to do is to choose those strong seeds. This is a great way to improve survival and also to grow quickly. Here, we select robust seedlings, mainly based on the thickness of the trunk and the number of leaves. The stems are stout and mostly leafy.
2. Transplanting and delayed seedling rearing. There are two things to note during the transplant process:1. Thermal insulation measures. Because this is a relatively warm plant, it is necessary to do a good job of keeping warm after transplanting. Here, the faster the transplantation, the more plastic film must be covered. It's okay if it's late. 2. Start cultivating from the roots. After transplantation, pepper seedlings go through a period of dormancy. At this time, the flowers on the pepper seedlings can be picked, and all the side branches on the main stem can be cut off, so that the nutrients can be more concentrated to the roots.
3. Suitable temperature for transplantation. When the temperature warms up, you can plant it for a long time. Not every time, though, is so good. If it cannot be picked in time, it will also have a certain impact on the production of peppers. In general, the optimal environment for the growth of red peppers is 20-30 or more, which will have a detrimental effect on flowering and pollination, resulting in a decrease in the number of fruits. Therefore, during the transplantation process, we should make a rough estimate of its flowering period and flowering period. Generally speaking, in the summer, it is necessary to avoid the hot summer months to make the peppers bear more.
Fourth, the reasonable control of water and fertilizer. It's not a one-stubble harvest. Under the right conditions, peppers can bloom and bear fruit at the same time. Since chili peppers grow vigorously, they need a lot of nutrients. If proper fertilization is not applied at this time, it will cause nutrient deficiencies, which will affect the flowering and fruiting of peppercorns.
Here, we need to grasp three stages: basal fertilizer, top dressing, and foliar fertilizer. Basal fertilizer refers to the application of fertilizer in the process of planting peppers and preparing the soil. Here you can apply more fertilizer as a base fertilizer so that the soil can be maintained for a longer period of time. In the process of pepper cultivation, especially during the period when its fruit is vigorous, chemical fertilizer is applied. Usually do it twice, and the desired effect will be achieved. This is where compound fertilizers can be used. Foliar fertilizer is applied on the foliar surface during the peak fruiting period to increase the nutrient balance and supplement the trace elements.
5. Maintenance of plants. During the cultivation of peppers, attention should be paid to pruning and pruning. In the early stages of planting, pruning and pruning can promote root development of peppers and promote the growth of plants. During the harvesting period, it is necessary to remove the aging branches and diseased branches in time, which can effectively improve the ventilation of the plant and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
All in all, there are many details that need to be paid attention to in order to make peppercorns more and more fruitful. As long as he puts his heart into it, he can get great gains.
