How to grow chili peppers on wheat stubble and when to transplant chili peppers on wheat stubble

Chili pepper is very common on the table and is a must-have for cooking. It has the characteristics of shiny color, strong spicy aroma, thin skin and thick flesh. It is rich in various trace elements and minerals needed by the human body. What are the key points of growing chili pepper on wheat stubble? Let's take a look!

How to grow chili pepper seedlings on wheat stubble

1) The best time to raise seedlings is when the outdoor temperature is above 13 degrees, usually from the end of February to the beginning of March in the Gregorian calendar.

2) Germination treatment of pepper seeds before seedling raising. Choose 2-3 days before sowing, put the seeds in warm water of about 50 degrees. Note that it is best to put an appropriate amount of potassium permanganate in the warm water, soak the seeds for 20-30 minutes, and then soak them in warm water for 5-6 hours. After taking them out, wrap them with wet cloth and put them in a plastic bag to germinate at 25-30 degrees. (Generally, we put the wrapped pepper seeds in the pocket close to our body to use the constant body temperature to germinate.)

When to transplant peppers grown on wheat stubble

The transplanting of chili pepper seedlings is usually done in mid-to-late May. We are used to planting two plants with a spacing of about 30 cm. After transplanting, water should be poured in time, and fungicide + rooting agent + insecticide + plant growth regulator should be sprayed once after 7 days. This can promote the early rooting and healthy growth of chili pepper seedlings.

Timely pinching and topping should be started when the chili pepper grows to 12-13 leaves. This is conducive to early growth of lateral roots, early pepper production, more pepper production, and consistent pepper production and maturity. More than 90% of the yield of chili pepper is achieved by side branches.

What should I pay attention to when transplanting chili peppers on wheat stubble?

When planting chili peppers on wheat stubble, you need to leave a good field when sowing wheat. We here call it wheat-cotton interlacing, which means leaving a wide field for planting chili peppers.

Before planting chili peppers, spread 30 catties of triple compound fertilizer and 50 catties of organic fertilizer in the wheat field, and then plow the field with special tillage equipment before transplanting the chili pepper seedlings. If conditions permit, you can choose to apply a closed herbicide after plowing the field and then cover the narrow mulch film to transplant the chili pepper seedlings.

The root system of peppers is not well developed. They like fertilized and moist soil, but they are not tolerant to water. Therefore, topdressing should be done in time during the flowering and fruiting period of peppers, and watering should not be flooded. The topdressing fertilizer is mainly ternary compound fertilizer, about 60 kilograms per mu of land + 50 kilograms of organic fertilizer. At the same time, according to the specific situation, spray pesticides to prevent peppers from dropping flowers and fruits. You can choose to spray brassinolide + potassium dihydrogen phosphate + chelated medium-element fertilizer.
