As an important vegetable and condiment, the improvement of yield and quality of chili pepper has always been the focus of growers. As an important nutrient for plant growth**, fertilizer plays a vital role in increasing the yield of peppers. So, what kind of fertilizer can increase the yield of pepper topping? This articleHaifu AgricultureWe will answer you in detail.
1. Nutrient requirements of chili peppers.
During the growth process, peppers need to absorb a variety of nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Among them, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the main elements required for the growth of peppers, which have a direct impact on the yield and quality of peppers. Therefore, when choosing fertilizers, a reasonable mix should be made according to the nutrient needs of peppers.
Second, the recommended fertilizer type.
Nitrogen fertilizer: Nitrogen fertilizer is the most demanded fertilizer during the growth of peppers. Appropriate topdressing of nitrogen fertilizer can promote the growth of pepper plants, increase the area and number of leaves, improve the efficiency of photosynthesis, and thus increase the yield. Commonly used nitrogen fertilizers are urea, ammonium sulfate, etc.
Phosphate fertilizer: Phosphate fertilizer plays an important role in the growth, flowering and fruiting of peppers. Phosphorus can promote root development, improve stress resistance of pepper, and promote flower bud differentiation and fruit development. Commonly used phosphate fertilizers are superphosphate, phosphate rock powder, etc.
Potash: Potash can improve the quality and yield of peppers. Potassium can enhance the disease resistance of peppers, improve the spiciness and color of fruits, and make peppers more beautiful and delicious. Commonly used potash fertilizers are potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, etc.
3. Fertilization method.
In the fertilization process, reasonable fertilization should be carried out according to the growth stage and soil condition of the pepper. Generally speaking, the fertilization of pepper is divided into two stages: basal fertilizer and top dressing. The basal fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer, combined with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Top dressing is based on the growth of peppers, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are applied in a timely manner to meet the growth needs of peppers.
4. Precautions.
The amount of fertilizer should be appropriate to avoid problems such as soil salinization and plant growth caused by excessive fertilization.
Pay attention to the balance between fertilizers and avoid too much or too little single element, which will affect the growth and yield of peppers.
Depending on the soil conditions and the growth of the peppers, the fertilization plan can be flexibly adjusted to achieve the best yield increase.
In short, in order to improve the yield and quality of peppers, it is necessary to fertilize scientifically and reasonably. By understanding the nutrient requirements of pepper and selecting the appropriate fertilizer type and fertilization method, the growth and development of pepper can be effectively promoted, and the goal of increasing yield and income can be achieved.
