Pepper pruning yield small tips

Pruning of plants during the growth of peppers can effectively increase the yield of peppers. According to experiments, reasonable pruning of pepper can increase production by 15% to 20%.

1. Pruning time: generally from late July to mid-August. At this time, the first batch of pepper fruits had been picked, and the plants were in the resting state when the temperature difference between day and night was not large, so the pruning effect was best.

2, pruning parts: When entering the hot season, the four branches of the plant can be expanded to produce 8 side branches, then the leafy leaves affect the ventilation and light, not only lead to small fruit, but also easy to fall fruit and fruit, but also induced All kinds of diseases reduce the yield and deteriorate the quality. If these eight side branches are cut off in time, the fertilizer and water can be concentrated on four large branches, so that the peppers can produce more fruit and fruit.

3, pruning methods: to use relatively pruning pruning scissors pruning, cut mouth should be smooth, in order to prevent shear cut induced disease or insect pests. During pruning, severely damaged branches and branches, premature drooping branches, and improperly managed breaking branches were cut. The cut branches must be concentrated and taken out of the field to destroy.

4. Post-cut management: Apply urea 5.8 kilograms per acre to promote plant growth and results. In case of drought combined with topdressing, timely watering. Or spray foliar fertilizer, each with 250 grams of urea per mu, 150 grams of potassium dihydrogen phosphate plus 75 kg of water diluted and sprayed evenly, 7 days spray once, even spray 2-3 times, choose cloudy or sunny evening Spray.
