Colorful pepper planting methods and key points

1. Variety selection: There are many types of colorful peppers, and different varieties are suitable for sowing in different seasons. Pay attention to choosing suitable seeds for sowing. When planting in winter and spring, choose high-yield varieties that are mid-to-late maturing and have a long fruiting period.

2. Seedling cultivation: Soak the selected seeds in a suitable agent for 20 minutes to eliminate the pathogens carried on the seed coat. Maintain the temperature at 30 degrees during germination. Turn the seeds frequently during the germination process and wash them with warm water every day. They can be sown after 4-5 days.

Important points for daily management of colorful peppers

1. Fertilization

After the seven-colored peppers are planted, the number of seedlings should be checked, and seedlings should be supplemented in time. The soil should be kept moist, and 15 kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be applied within 10 days before flowering. Generally, 20 kg of triple compound fertilizer and 10 kg of urea should be applied after the first harvest, and the application should be done in holes to avoid root burn.

2. Flood prevention

If water accumulates, pay attention to timely drainage, otherwise the roots will rot. During the growth of black sesame, if the seedlings are sparse and grow weakly, then appropriate application of urea should be applied to provide sufficient nutrition for the growth of black sesame.
