1. Thinning and Seedling Selection: When the seedlings have developed 1-2 true leaves, the first thinning should be done. It's important to transplant the seedlings as early as possible, removing tall, diseased, deformed, or weak plants. Only strong and healthy seedlings should be kept in each hole. This ensures better growth and higher survival rates. 2. Supplementary Planting: If more than three or four plants are missing, supplementary planting is necessary. Young seedlings that have been pulled out during initial planting can be used for replacement. After planting, water the area thoroughly and cover the soil with a layer of wet earth to protect the beneficial earthworms. During high temperature periods, it’s advisable to provide shade to prevent the leaves from drying out and wilting. In cases where many seedlings are missing, plug seedlings from greenhouses can be purchased and planted to maintain plant density. 3. Cultivation and Weeding: Regular and thorough cultivation is essential. The soil should be tilled deeply (18–20 cm) and widely, ensuring that the soil is broken up evenly without damaging the young plants. At the same time, check the mulch film regularly; if it has been lifted by wind or not properly covered, reseal it immediately. Remove weeds as soon as they appear to keep the field free of unwanted vegetation, and press the soil down after weeding to maintain good soil contact with the roots. 4. Proper Irrigation: Incorrect watering methods, especially flood irrigation, are a major cause of pepper plant death. During the flowering and fruiting stages, which are critical for nutrient uptake, it's important to water carefully. After planting, the first irrigation should be combined with a top-dressing of 10 kg of urea per acre. Water every 10–15 days, using small amounts—half a ditch at a time—and avoid flooding. If water accumulates, drain it immediately. From mid to late August, reduce watering to control excessive growth and encourage ripening, resulting in brighter peppers. In Pingshuo, peppers are watered once during the seedling stage and again after fruiting, with 10 kg of urea applied each time. After that, no further irrigation is done to prevent widespread plant loss. 5. Pest Control: - Locusts: Apply 20% Chrysanthemum Emulsion diluted 5000 times or 40% Dimethoate EC diluted 1000 times. Alternatively, use 2.5% Deltamethrin diluted 8000 times. Spray when the cabbages start to emerge. - Helicoverpa armigera (Cotton Bollworm): Infestation typically begins around June 10–15. The best time for spraying is from late June to late July. Use 2.5% Kung Fu EC diluted 2000–3000 times, applying 15–30 kg per acre. Spray once every 7–10 days, possibly up to 2–3 times. Rotate pesticides to prevent resistance. Additionally, foliar sprays of 0.1–0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate or 0.1% diammonium phosphate can help repel bollworms during their emergence period. - Leaf Spot (Ye Yan): As soon as symptoms appear, apply 20% Dicofol diluted 1000–1200 times, 73% Gefilte Emulsion diluted 2000 times, 10% Uranus 3000 times, or 10% Liuyangmycin 1500–2500 times. Spray 50 kg per acre, repeating every 6–7 days, up to 2–3 times. Also spray weeds and the underside of leaves for better coverage. - Phytophthora Blight: Use 25% Rhizoctonia WP or 58% Rhizozotox Manganese diluted 1000 times. Apply 50–80 ml per plant, and 150–200 g per acre each time, repeating 3–4 times for effective control. - Virus Disease: Early control of aphids is crucial to prevent virus spread. Use 2.5% Deltamethrin at 10 kg per acre mixed with 80 kg of water for spraying. Alternatively, use 800 times diluted Dimethoate Emulsion, spraying every 5–7 days for 2–3 applications. Once the disease is detected, spray with 83 Anti-agent diluted 100 times, Anti-virus Agent 300 times, or Virus A WP 500 times. Repeat every 7–10 days for 2–3 times to manage the outbreak effectively.
