Planting method and time of pepper in summer (how to sow, raise seedlings and manage pepper)

As for pepper seedling, for greenhouse planting, it can be done all year round, but for open-air planting, it is usually carried out in spring and seedling is carried out in March-April. Of course, for greenhouse planting, seedlings are usually raised at the end of July and harvested at the end of winter. Seeds must be germinated before sowing to improve the germination rate of pepper.

As for pepper seedling, it can be planted in greenhouse all year round, and the open-air planting is generally carried out in spring, and seedling is carried out in March-April. Of course, greenhouse planting, seedling raising in summer is generally carried out at the end of July, and harvesting is over in winter.

So what problems should be paid attention to in pepper seedling raising and what matters should be paid attention to in transplanting and growth? Brother Peng answers the following questions.

1. What are the problems in cultivating strong seedlings and raising seedlings in summer?

Summer is hot and rainy, and the rainy weather is changeable, which is not conducive to the growth of pepper seedlings. In addition, the weather is fine after the rain, and the air humidity is high, which is easy to cause diseases.

However, high temperature is easy to make young pepper seedlings sunburned and lose their vitality, and the influence of multiple factors is easy to cause devastating damage to young pepper seedlings.

Second, matters needing attention in pepper seedling raising

According to the climate characteristics in summer, what should be paid attention to in summer pepper seedling raising and how to prevent it?

1, flood control

Summer rainy season is particularly prone to excessive rain, leading to water accumulation in seedbeds. Therefore, it is necessary to make predictions before seedling raising in the early stage, raise the seedbed or build it in a high place, and dig drainage ditches around it to avoid waterlogging of seedlings during seedling raising.

2. Drought prevention

In summer, besides flood control, we should also prevent drought. Because of the high temperature and rapid evaporation of water, the soil is prone to drought, which leads to dehydration and wilting of seedlings. At this time, they must be watered in time, and they must be watered less and thoroughly.

3, rain and hail suppression

It is easy to encounter strong convective weather in summer, and the rainstorm and hail last for a long time. You must always watch the weather forecast and take precautions in advance.

4, pest control

When there are many pepper pests in summer, plant ash and carbofuran can be spread around the seedbed in advance for control. Summer humidity is high, and diseases such as gray mold and damping-off are prone to occur. For these diseases, we can prevent them in advance and spray fungicides with hymexazol.

5, anti-glare sunlight

In summer, the sunshine is strong, which is easy to sunburn the pepper seedlings and make the peppers wither. Sun-shading measures should be taken in advance, and a sun-shading net should be set for sun-shading.

6, to prevent the apprentice.

Due to the high temperature in summer, under the condition of sufficient water and fertilizer, pepper seedlings are easy to grow white, resulting in small stems, which is not conducive to cultivating strong seedlings. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the ventilation in the shed and water the seedbed reasonably.

It is particularly important to note that seedling raising in summer is much more complicated and difficult than seedling raising in spring. Seeds must be germinated before sowing to improve the germination rate of pepper.

Moreover, in view of the complex climate in summer, when selecting varieties, we must choose varieties with good disease resistance, heat resistance and waterlogging tolerance.

In short, there are many things that need to be paid attention to in summer seedling raising, such as pest control, flood control and drought relief, which require us to look at the seedbed more and watch the weather forecast frequently to reduce unnecessary losses.
