Cultivation Technology of Korean Peppers

Peppers have been cultivated throughout the country, and China is a country with the largest consumption of peppers and dried peppers. Chili is an important agricultural exporting vegetable. South China and North china are the important base of production of chili. Dried peppers have outstanding quality, diverse uses. Here are some cultivation technologies to meet all the necessary homes.
1. Cultivation season
Winter sowing is appropriate for peppers, and in the late frost weather, do not plant peppers. It can be harvested in the end of the summer or early winter of the next year.
In the northern regions more than spring planting and seedling protection in April-May after intermittent cream plant.
Middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River region, in November-December conditions in the summary under the protection of planting seedlings, March-April planting is suitable.
South China region in December and January, covered in plastic film under the conditions of planting seedlings, February-March colonization is proper.
2. Nursery
Peppers can be divided into two ways when seedling transplanting. Pepper seedling nursery is open to the propagation and protection of the two ways. Primed for soaking before planting, timely loosen the too close planting, nurturing seedlings, and early colonization to ensure more production in July and August before high temperature and drought. Open the nursery seedlings in about 60 days, the postponement of transplanting. So in most areas cultivators are used to protect breeding. Protection and propagation of a hotbed of ferment and film coverage cooling bed seedling nursery. Generally use the greenhouse, hotbeds of sowing, planting hotbed of bed temperature in order to maintain more than 20 ℃.
3. Planting density
To increase the production of peppers, mainly ways is to increase the number of plants per mu and the number of results per plant because the fruit weight does not differ greatly. Therefore appropriate close planting is an important measure to increase the output. But in large degree, about 3,000 plants per mu is appropriate. Pepper cultivation method for a single-and two intercropping. Intercropping used vegetable minority. earthing up into double ridge, the ridge is 116 cm in width, 66 cm wide trip, narrow row is 50 cm, 26 cm from the point. Each point is about 4200 plants per mu.
4. Fertilization
Although Pepper does not require early maturity, but long growing period can not rely solely on basic fertilizer in the process of cultivating. Both nitrogen and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are important to peppers. General practice is heavy phosphorus, potash fertilizer for basic fertilizer, super phosphate per mu by 25-50 kg, 2,500 kg organic manure. When temperatures begin to decline, it is suitable for flowering and fructification. So autumn fertilizer can promote more flowers, early fruiting. Pepper’s main root is underdeveloped, so earthing up to a ridge is needed to prevent the occurrence of lodging. Improve the permeability of soil and ability of keeping water, keeping fertilizer and drainage.
5. Watering and drainage
pouring adequate water after fix planting to make the loose soil particles combine the roots more closely, which can be good to absorb the water and fertilizer for the roots. In summer, irrigate to cool the temperature and survive the seedlings. In rainy seasons, promptly drainage is needed to prevent flood. Too much soil moisture will inhibit growth of root and lead to yellow and wilt foliage. So it is important to take several measures to drainage.
6. Prevention to flower and fruit drop
too high or too low temperature is the main cause of dropped flowers, so flowers in early spring, the pollination and elongation of pollen tubes will be affected because the temperature is too low; on the other hand, too much nitrogen fertilizer will lead to abnormal growth of plants and dropped flowers. High temperature, drought will also lead to dropped flowers, leaves and fruits.The physiological causes of dropped flowers is the bad soil conditions, poor drainage and abnormal absorption of roots. Measures to solve these problems are the following: The first is to choose fine varieties, such as varieties with good resistance to diseases and adversity; the second one is keep rational density of plants, maintain good ventilation of groups and suitable transmission structure; 3 it is needed to keep reasonable fertilization and irrigation, especially in the hot dry seasons. Pay attention to timely fertilizer and irrigation, apply proper nitrogen; 4 timely control the diseases and pests.
7. Harvest
The standers of harvest is whether the fruits turn to deep red. The yield is 1,000-2,000 kg per-mu for fresh peppers, and 150-250 kg for dried peppers with high marketability. Excellent choice is exporting fresh peppers, processing dried peppers, extracting pigment with dried peppers. We are glad to service to increase the income for farmers!
