The planting and processing method of pepper is simple, which is very suitable for farmers' planting and management. So, when is pepper planted? What is the method of planting? Let's find out.
First, planting time of pepper The planting time of pepper should be determined according to the local climatic conditions. Taking Hainan pepper production base of Liuhang agriculture as an example, except winter (December to February), other seasons can be colonized. However, it is appropriate to settle in the rainy season, especially in August to November, the climate is cool, the rain is more, the survival rate is higher, and the florist is less. Areas with low winter temperatures should be planted in the spring so that the plants have a longer time to grow and are conducive to overwintering. When planting should choose a cloudy day or a sunny evening is appropriate. Second, the planting method of pepper
1. Garden selection: Pepper is afraid of water, so it should be planted on gentle slope, well-drained flat land and permeable soil. Pepper garden area should not be too large, generally 3-5 acres is appropriate. Pepper garden is best for rectangular, east-west direction, around the creation of shelterbelts or retain the native forest belt. The pepper garden should have a drainage system to remove water. 2. Planting density: the planting density of pepper is generally 2*2.5 meters, the fertile soil can be used 2*3 meters, and the lean land can be used 2*2 meters. Planting is more suitable in spring and autumn, and should be carried out in the afternoon on cloudy days and sunny days, and it is not appropriate to plant when the soil humidity is too high. 3. Planting method: The planting direction of pepper should be consistent with the direction of the terrace, the planting time should be 20 cm away from the column, the digging depth should be 30 cm, the slope should be inclined to 50°, and compacted. When planting single seedlings, the seedlings are placed against the column, and when planting double seedlings, the seedlings are placed in the shape of "eight" against the column.
4. Watering after planting: water once every 1-2 days after planting, water can be gradually reduced after survival, and shade should be maintained within a year of planting, do not let the sun burn the pepper head, causing seedling death. If there are dead plants after planting, replant in time. When the pepper seedling pulls out the new vine, the pillar should be planted in time. In addition, attention should be paid to loosening, weeding, fertilizing and tying vines.
