2 cultivation points
2.1 seedling cultivation
Select the sowing period is divided into spring and autumn sowing period, sowing in late March to early April; 8 months late autumn to early September, listed before the spring festival.
Special soil for seedling raising can be used for the preparation of nursery soil. Can also be FWFPM: peat: Perlite volume ratio of 2: 5: 1 with soil, every 1 m3 soil and 75% chlorothalonil 500 g fully mix evenly, installed on the 50 hole plate.
The seed soaking with 20 min 1 per thousand Potassium Permanganate solution, rinse water soaking 12 h, germination of seed can be picked up, after the thief.
First, the seedlings in the tray will be watered. After a little dry, 1 seeds will be injected at each point, and then the seedling soil will be covered and watered again. During this period, we will focus on the management of fertilizer and water.
2.2 timely planting
After planting 1 months or so, 5~6 leaves can be transplanted and planted. When planting, pay attention to the mud ball can not loose, in order to reduce injury roots, planting after irrigation root water, in order to fully water penetration as well. The planting soil requires rich organic matter, no pollution, no toxic and harmful substances. According to FWFPM: peat: Perlite: coconut husk volume ratio of 10: 5: 5: 1 with soil, every 1 m3 soil and 50% carbendazim 1 package (400 g), stirring pots, with about 80%. The diameter of 33 ~ 34 cm and 26 ~ 28 cm pot for planting pepper plant and high ornamental pepper; diameter 23 ~ 24 cm, 15 ~ 16 cm pots for planting plant type medium peach chili; diameter 12 ~ 14 cm and 10 ~ 12 cm pot for planting plant small chili red eagle watch.
2.3 management of water and fertilizer
After planting 10 d, the top dressing should be started, 1 times every 10 or so D, the light and thin application should be used mainly, and the water solution of compound fertilizer should be applied to ensure that the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is suitable, and no peculiar smell is emitted. After the bud, fertilize 1 times every 1 weeks, and increase the amount of fertilizer properly according to the growth condition. Basin soil should be moist, not too wet. Summer water consumption is large, should be timely watering.
2.4 plastic trim
Pepper grows fast, easy setting, usually takes 4 to 5 small bamboo or covered with green plastic wire are fixed, in order to maintain a neat crown, promptly cut off effect of plant shape cella branch and weak branches, improve fruit rate and fruit ornamental value.
3 pest control
3.1 bacterial wilt and blight
Prevention usually takes priority. 72% streptomycin 3000 times liquid every half a month, 55% Fenaminosulf diluted 600 times or 70% thiophanate methyl 600 times Guangen, alternate use can effectively prevent various diseases.
3.2 mites and thrips
99% mineral oil, 200 times liquid or 3 per thousand avermectin 1500 times liquid or 1% matrine 800 times liquid, spray the leaf back, about 5 days later, spray 1 times.
4 maintenance of Ornamental Period
All peppers are warm, cold, especially frost. When temperatures are below 10 degrees, they must be moved indoors or in greenhouses. The main consumption of both ornamental peppers, timely picking ripe fruit, compound fertilizer 1 times every 1 weeks to maintain good growth, improve fruit rate and ornamental. The Ornamental Pepper was applied 1 times per week for 1 times, and the old leaves and old fruits were cut off in time, so as to prevent diseases and keep good ornamental properties.

How to apply fertilizer in hot pepper plants?
1 base: seedling pot fertilization, mainly prepared seedling soil matrix must be fertile soil, at the same time to apply sufficient fertilizer, otherwise it will affect the development of seedling growth, as the 1-2 times of topdressing.
2, topdressing: chili is also constantly and continuously harvest, continuously carry away the nutrients, so the need to constantly replenish nutrition, on the basis of base fertilizer on fertilizer should also be repeated. The fruit began to expand, to promote fruit topdressing fertilizer, in the full fruit period, should continue to fertilizer 3 times (topdressing in each after harvest); in the full fruit period, root fertilizer absorption ability decreased. Spraying once a week, spraying three times, is beneficial to delaying senescence, prolonging harvest time and improving fruit quality.
On the basis of pepper fertilizer requirement rules and uneven soil fertility, fertilizer on pepper pot trick is skillfully with sets of base fertilizer topdressing fertilizer should grasp the following criteria:
1, application of organic fertilizer
Apply some good compost organic fertilizer (such as chicken), and adding a few kinds of biological organic fertilizer fertilizer. A small amount of Bacillus like biological organic fertilizer should be added to the basin where the disease is diseased. Of course, should also be rational use of chemical fertilizer, chemical fertilizer as base fertilizer for possible use fertilizers, such as urea, superphosphate and potassium sulfate.
2, skillfully dressing
Try to use when topdressing compound fertilizer containing nitrate nitrogen fertilizer, seedling, transplanting, planting date in the application of true root, root, Mao Genduo, pepper seedlings can shorten the time to add to the adverse environment resistance to wheat. Pepper fruit to flower, less, high value, improve the quality, should be the rational allocation of fertilizer, topdressing share. In general, organic fertilizer, fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, potash fertilizer 80% 50% and 30% of the nitrogen fertilizer after mixing fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and other 20% 70% 50% respectively as compared with potassium. For some trace elements, such as borax, foliar spraying.
