How long is the growing cycle of pepper?

Pepper growth cycle

The growth cycle of pepper is about five months, and the harvest period of pepper is as long as 1-2 months, or even longer. Generally, the fruits are picked 5-6 times during the entire harvest period, once every 7-10 days.

my country's pepper producing areas include Hainan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Taiwan, Fujian, Guangxi and other provinces, among which Hainan's pepper production accounts for more than 90% of my country's total production.

Pepper growth rate

Pepper grows relatively slowly, about 18 to 24 weeks, or two to three months, but it is heat-resistant, cold-resistant, drought-resistant, wind-resistant, pruning-resistant, and easy to transplant, and it is not difficult to plant. In addition, it should be noted that pepper is not tolerant to waterlogging, so the drainage of the pepper garden should be good, and fertile sandy loam is the best soil for planting pepper, and the light conditions in the planting area should also be good.

Pepper growth cycle management

Temperature management: Pepper can grow in areas with an average annual temperature above 22°C and an annual rainfall of more than 1,500 mm and evenly distributed. Long-term drought or long-term sunlight exposure will affect the growth of the plants.

Fertilization management: Initially, you should choose to use basal fertilizer for new plants or tender shoots, such as urea, which is a similar chemical fertilizer, because this kind of quick fertilizer will have a more obvious nourishing effect. Or use a very light fertilizer containing elements such as phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen for deep nourishment, so that the pepper tree can also grow better and grow luxuriantly. It is best to add some trace elements suitable for the growth of pepper trees, which can make the pepper trees grow stronger. After fertilization, it is best to loosen the soil to ensure that the whole plant can absorb fertilizer and water and grow luxuriantly quickly.
