What is the best season to plant chili peppers?

Which month is suitable for planting chili pepper?

It usually takes 6 months for chili pepper to bear fruit after planting, so the planting time of chili pepper is relatively early, usually planted in February or March each year, and can be transplanted in April . If the planting time is too late, the appropriate transplanting period will be missed, delaying the growth and development of chili pepper, and the result will also be affected.

How to plant chili pepper

1. Site selection and fertilization: Chili pepper has high requirements for soil. Fertile soil is conducive to its growth. It is usually planted in places with deep soil and strong drainage capacity. It should be plowed before planting, exposed to the sun after sufficient watering, and sprinkled with farmyard manure to drain water and avoid the possibility of root rot.

2. Sowing and seedling raising: Before sowing, the chili pepper seeds need to be soaked in water for 30 minutes, then evenly spread on the seedbed, cover with a thin layer of soil, and wrap with plastic cloth.

Points to note when planting chili peppers

1. Prevent flowers and fruits from falling: Note that high temperature, low temperature, drought, lack of fertilizer, excessive growth, diseases and insect pests can cause flowers and fruits of the chili pepper to fall. While strengthening agricultural measures, you can use anti-fall agents and strong yield-increasing agents to protect the flowers and fruits of the chili pepper.

2. Pay attention to drought resistance and drainage: The roots of the chili pepper are shallow. During the peak fruit-bearing period, water shortage will seriously affect the yield of the chili pepper. In hot weather, be careful not to water at noon to avoid lowering the temperature in the soil.
