In what season was pepper planted?

Sow in spring, choose sunny and windless days in mid-April, and sow in the morning. In North China, spring direct seeding is usually planted around Grain Rain, and in sunny and warm weather. The row spacing is about 40 cm, the sowing depth is 2 cm, the sowing depth should be consistent, the sowing should be uniform, the sowing ditch should be covered with soil, and the moisture should be kept.

Before sowing, expose the seeds to the sun for 2-3 days, and then soak them in warm water at 50-55℃ to accelerate germination. At the same time, the seeds are stirred 15-20 minutes, then taken out and germinated at 25-30℃.

Most seedlings are raised in small arch sheds, and if conditions permit, they can also be raised in greenhouses. The seedbed requires selecting loose and fertile plots that have not been planted with peppers, watering the soles of feet once a day before sowing, evenly covering nutrient soil with a thickness of 0.5-0.8 cm after sowing, and then fastening the shed.

Extended data:

After planting, it needs to be watered once to make it adapt to the new environment faster, grow new roots and improve the survival rate. After transplanting for 5- 10 days, some plants may not survive in the field, so it is necessary to replenish seedlings in time to ensure that the seedlings in the field are neat.

Because they grow at different speeds and adapt to different environments, they need to be fertilized for the first time after transplanting, and urea and compound fertilizer should be applied according to different growth degrees to keep slow-growing plants up to the general growth rhythm;

When the pepper seedlings grow to 20-25cm, the first intertillage weeding and the second topdressing should be carried out to improve the absorption capacity and permeability of the soil and increase its growth rate.
