Pepper is planted in the countryside. Why is it very hot in summer? The more you water the pepper, the more leaves will fall.

Pepper is one of the many vegetables planted in rural areas, and it is also one of the vegetables that everyone can't live without. Many people are particularly concerned about the cultivation of pepper. After summer, many villagers will choose to water the withered peppers to fight drought. However, when pouring water, the villagers found that the withered pepper leaves began to fall off.

So, what is the reason for this situation in pepper?

First, the timing of watering is wrong, resulting in high temperature injury to seedlings. After summer, you can obviously feel the heat wave in the vegetable garden. In fact, it is the evaporation of water in the soil that forms the heat wave. For us, the temperature in midsummer is basically 38-39 degrees Celsius, and the temperature on the soil surface is higher than this. If a pot of cold water goes down, you won't see the water on the ground in a short time.

If we water pepper seedlings in a hurry before the surface temperature of the soil drops, it is likely to backfire, causing steam to evaporate quickly and burn the roots, as well as the branches and leaves and flowers near the surface.

Second, pepper appears "dormant" phenomenon, but waterlogged roots appear when watering. This is the point I want to make, because peppers don't like high temperature. When the temperature reaches above 35 degrees Celsius, the growth of pepper will become slow, the ability to blossom and bear fruit will gradually decline, and pepper will seem to enter a "dormancy". For such a phenomenon, it is called "rest". When pepper is dormant, the function of the whole plant is slowly maintained.

At this time, a lot of water was poured into the pepper, but the supply capacity of the root system did not activate quickly, because there was much water in the soil, which hindered the respiration of the pepper root system. When the whole pepper plant can't supply nutrients and water, the pepper begins to shed leaves to reduce the evaporation area. This feeling is actually a feeling of "abandoning the car to protect the handsome", that is, in order to save the plants, peppers give up most of their leaves and reduce their consumption.

So, what do we usually do?

When pepper is drought-resistant, we must pay attention to the soil temperature. We need to wait until the temperature of the soil surface cools down directly before watering. Therefore, when it is generally drought-resistant, it is almost black. It is not easy to be flooded when watering, as long as it is dry and wet alternately, it is guaranteed to be drought-resistant once every 1-2 days. It should be noted here that frequent watering will lead to soil hardening, which can be combined with weeding to loosen the soil properly.
