What is the reason why the pedicels of peppers turn yellow and fall off after flowering?

Chili is a vegetable that many people like. It not only increases the flavor and aroma of food, but also has many health and nutritional functions. However, some people who grow peppers at home find that the pedicels turn yellow and fall off after the peppers bloom. What is the reason for this? Let’s take a look below.

1. The reason why the pedicel turns yellow and falls off after pepper blooms

1. Insufficient nutrition: Peppers need a lot of nutrients during the flowering and fruiting period. If there is insufficient nutrition, the flowers will not get enough nutrients and will easily fall off.

2. Improper watering: Peppers need proper water to grow. If there is a lack of water or too much water, it will also cause the flowers to fall off.

3. Poor pollination: Pepper is a cross-pollinated crop. If the pollination is poor, the flower buds will not develop normally, resulting in falling off.

4. Insufficient light: Pepper is a light-loving plant, and its light requirements vary depending on the growing period. If there is insufficient light, it will affect the photosynthesis of peppers, causing the quality of flowers and fruits to decline or even fall.

2. How to prevent the pedicels from turning yellow and falling off after peppers bloom

1. Increase the application of organic fertilizers : During the growth period of peppers, apply appropriate amounts of organic fertilizers such as phosphorus and calcium, and spray a 600-fold aqueous solution of "Shuangbao Taizong". Preserving flowers and fruits prolongs the flowering period, ensures the pollination rate, and avoids large-scale flower drop.

2. Reasonable watering: Water the peppers in moderation to maintain appropriate soil moisture, avoid being too wet or too dry, and also pay attention to avoid prolonged water accumulation.

3. Pest and disease control : For common pests and diseases, regular inspections and timely prevention and control are required. Some biological pesticides or low-toxic and high-efficiency chemical pesticides can be used for prevention and control. Note that even with low-toxic pesticides, you should still pay attention to pesticide safety.

4. Artificial pollination : Artificial pollination can be used to increase the pollination rate and promote the development of flower buds. You can use a brush or soft paint brush to lightly paint on the flowers to help pollination.

5. Reasonable close planting to cultivate strong seedlings: Reasonable close planting can reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests, while increasing the permeability of the field, which is conducive to the growth and development of peppers. Cultivating strong seedlings can improve peppers' resistance to diseases and pests and stress, and is conducive to stable flowering and fruiting.

In short, to avoid the pedicels of peppers falling off after flowering, it is necessary to start from watering, nutrition, artificial pollination, pest and disease control and other aspects, carry out comprehensive management, improve the peppers' resistance to pests and diseases and stress, so as to achieve the goal of high quality and high yield.
