When planting peppers in rural areas, will the weather affect the yield of peppers?

For peppers that naturally like to be warm, the temperature at this time is not suitable for growing peppers. The temperature in Yichang, Hubei Province is generally stable at 15 degrees Celsius, which will be in early April, that is, around Tomb-Sweeping Day. Only when the temperature is stable at 15℃ is it suitable for the normal growth of pepper. However, when planting early peppers, we always ridge and plant peppers. Ridge farming has many advantages, including the following aspects:

First, raise the ground temperature. After land preparation and ridging, the soil temperature at the ridging site can be appropriately increased. Because pepper seedlings are not tolerant to low temperature, the root system is prone to the phenomenon of poor seedling growth, small leaves and short plants in low temperature environment. After the emergence of stiff seedlings, the growth of pepper will be very slow, which will also affect the flowering and fruiting of pepper, resulting in low yield of pepper.

Of course, raising soil can not only raise the ground temperature. Ridges are also important:

Second, reduce soil moisture.

Although pepper plants like water, the root system of pepper is very resistant to water. But in our Hubei province, there is a lot of rain after spring every year. For some fields with poor drainage, it is very easy to accumulate water. Therefore, in order to avoid water accumulation in pepper fields, we can ensure the normal growth of pepper seedlings by cultivating soil and building drainage ditches.

Third, it is beneficial to cover the plastic film. In fact, after ridging, the effect is very good. That is to cover the pepper seedlings with plastic film, which is more conducive to raising the soil temperature and keeping the soil moist. In fact, the transplanting of pepper seedlings before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day is still relatively early. Covering with plastic film can ensure the survival rate of pepper seedlings 100%.

My mother grows a lot of peppers every year. She is an expert in growing vegetables in our village. She usually grows peppers and eggplant in the fields. Before planting peppers, she should raise seedlings first. When the pepper seedlings grow to about 5-6 inches, transplant them into the ground with good base fertilizer!

In rural areas, growing vegetables, especially rarely, sometimes depends on the weather. After transplanting pepper seedlings into the ground, there should be no frost, otherwise they will freeze to death. When it grows up, it will be difficult to bloom in dry weather, even if it blooms, it will not bear much fruit, and it will not grow up!

In the past, my mother planted peppers with the ridge of the field to prevent the water from blocking easily in rainy days. Pepper is in the flowering period, too much rain, flowers are easy to wither, and there are not many fruits; It can't rain a lot at maturity, peppers rot easily, and the picked ones can't be kept for a long time!

So in rural areas, farming sometimes really depends on the weather!
