When is the best time to plant pepper seedlings?

Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings are sold as Zanthoxylum bungeanum maxim and green pepper zanthoxylum can smell the strong hemp fragrance, which is the most suitable harvest period, and the harvested fruits are generally picked by hand or scissors.

Mid-April. Zanthoxylum pepper seedling cultivation management.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees are drought tolerant and barren, especially suitable for planting in terraced fields, marginal land, wasteland, and around orchards. Scientific planting of pepper trees is also an effective way to improve the ecological environment and increase farmers' income.

Expand the hole and fertilize. After the soil thaws in early spring, the soil around the roots of the pepper tree is planed 30-50 cm deep, and about 30 kg of organic fertilizer is applied to each plant; At the germination stage in mid-April and after fruit picking in late July, each plant was applied with a standard kilogram of chemical fertilizer. After fertilization, water it thoroughly in time.

Mulching warming: Mulching has a good effect of moisturizing and warming, and can generally increase the ground temperature by about 3, which is conducive to the development and growth of roots. The mulching should be carried out in time after the expansion of the hole and fertilization, and the soil should be fine and dry along the tree row, slightly higher near the trunk, and the area of the cover film should be slightly larger than the outer edge of the canopy.

The junction of the two plastic films is compacted with soil, and the plastic film is flattened as far as possible and the ground is tightly sealed. At the end of April, cover the film with a thickness of 5 cm of fine soil, which can prevent the growth of weeds and prolong the service life of the film.

Foliar sprays. With a mixture of 3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate and urea, foliar fertilizer is sprayed 6 times a year, the first time during the flowering period, the second time 10 days after flowering, and the third spray at an interval of 10 days, once in early and mid-July and once after fruit harvest.

Pruning and rejuvenation: Combined with harvesting peppercorns in summer, pruning should be carried out in time. Cut off some large branches and diseased branches of weakened trees, remove excess branches in autumn, and finally retain 5-7 main branches per plant, and appropriately remove dense branches in the crown, the amount of thinning is generally not more than 25%, and shrink some weak branches to strong buds; The medium and short branches of the mediocre tree are generally not shortened, mainly sparse, and attention should be paid to protecting the terminal buds, appropriately shortening the long fruit branches, and retaining the large buds.

Scientific harvesting. Harvesting time and method: The ripening period of Zanthoxylum pepper fruit is generally around the beginning of autumn and the summer solstice.

When the pepper is ripe, the peel is purplish-red or reddish, the peel sutures are protruding, a small amount of cracking, and the seeds are black and shiny. You can smell the strong aroma of hemp, which is the most suitable time for harvesting, and the harvest is generally hand-picked or scissors.

Ear picking. Picking of strong branch fruit ears: There is a full bud between the axils of the first leaf under the large pepper ear, this bud is the fruiting bud of the next year, and it should be properly protected.

Spring planting is the most suitable, I have the excellent variety of Da Hong Pao,

The best season for planting pepper seedlings is winter or spring, the higher the survival rate when the weather is colder, and after planting, it is necessary to bury it with soil, put some grass on it, and then open it again when the weather warms up in spring, and the survival rate of water-like seedlings is the highest.

Most of the general planting time is best in autumn and winter, but for northern regions the general planting time is in the spring after the ground has thawed. The Central Plains region and the areas north of the Central Plains are generally most suitable for planting in autumn and winter.

The original name of the pepper tree: Sichuan pepper.

Aliases: big pepper, Qin pepper, Shu pepper.

Preferences: drought tolerant, sun-loving.

Function: Sichuan pepper can be used in traditional Chinese medicine, with pain-relieving, cold-repelling, and other effects.

The main varieties are: Dahongpao pepper, nine-leaf green pepper, and big red pepper.

Spring planting in southern China: Before and after the spring equinox, the planting site is selected in a hilly area with sufficient rain, or planted in a place that is convenient for irrigation, and the planting of pepper seedlings in spring is mainly required to have sufficient water. Autumn planting in the northern region:

In the northern region, the spring is still relatively cold, the soil is relatively dry, and there is not much rainfall, so it is better to plant in autumn; If the pepper seedlings are older, they can be planted in August-September in early autumn, and the more tender pepper seedlings can be planted in September-October.

Zanthoxylum pepper seedlings are planted in spring in the south, and the climate in the north is cold in spring, and the soil is relatively dry, so it is more suitable for planting in autumn. Spring planting pepper trees should be selected in the area with sufficient rain, around the vernal equinox is the most suitable planting time, autumn planting, pepper seedlings are more tender in September and October, and the seedlings are older in August and September.

1. Spring planting in the southern region.

Planting pepper seedlings in the southern region is suitable for early spring, the best time is around the vernal equinox, the planting location should be selected in a hilly area with sufficient rain, or planted in a convenient irrigation place, planting pepper seedlings in spring is mainly required to have sufficient water.

2. Autumn planting in the northern region.

The spring in the northern region is still relatively cold, the soil is also very dry, and the rainfall is not much, so it is better to plant in autumn, if the pepper seedlings are older, planted in early autumn 8 to September, when is the best time to plant the more tender pepper seedlings, the time can be a little later, planted in September and October.

3. Prune before planting.

Generally, when the pepper seedlings are older, they need to be pruned, at this time the leaves of the seedlings have grown a lot, and after transportation and long-term placement, it is inevitable that there will be yellow and curly branches and leaves, and those yellowing and dry branches and leaves can be cut off, saving the water and nutrients of the plant to make it grow healthily.

Fourth, planting management.

Before planting pepper seedlings, the soil should be turned over first, and it is best to turn it deeper, which can make the soil more fertile, and then add some organic fertilizer as base fertilizer when planting. If there is often strong wind in the planting area, it is necessary to erect stakes next to the saplings to prevent them from being blown down, and irrigate them in time when the rain is insufficient.
