How to plant指向椒 to achieve high yields
Abstract: This article discusses the planting techniques and management of pointed chili peppers and upward-facing chili peppers, related topics in flower cultivation. The following is a detailed introduction.
Pointed chili peppers belong to the nightshade family and the chili genus. They are called pointed chili peppers or upward-facing chili peppers because their fruits grow upwards. Pointed chili peppers have the highest capsaicin content among chili crops, with a strong spicy taste that can increase appetite, refresh the mind, and boost spirits. They are a seasoning loved by people all over the world. Let's now learn about their botanical characteristics.
The main root of pointed chili peppers develops vigorously, and can penetrate 40-50 cm into deep and loose soil, some even reaching 80 cm. Most lateral roots are distributed in the topsoil layer, with the most lateral roots branching out at 10-25 cm underground. Seedling cultivation can promote the branching and growth of lateral roots.
The stems of pointed chili peppers grow upright, with the first branching height at 30-35 cm, varying significantly between varieties. In the early growth stage, the stems have a low degree of lignification and are flexible. After the plant matures, lignification increases, becoming harder. The upper part of the stem is semi-lignified and hollow, while the lower part is fully lignified and relatively hard, especially when cultivated as a perennial crop, the plant becomes a small shrub. The branching of pointed chili pepper stems is generally false dichotomous, but some varieties may also have a few three or four-way branches. When the main stem reaches 15-12 nodes, the terminal bud differentiates into a flower bud, forming the first flower.
The leaves are single, without stipules, and are ovate or oblong.
Flowers may be single or 2-3 together, or 4-16 clustered, thus pointed chili peppers can be divided into two major types: scattered and clustered. The flowers are perfect flowers, mainly self-pollinated, but they are also cross-pollinated crops, with a cross-pollination rate of 25%-45%.
The fruit is a berry, but with little juice, thin skin, and easily dried. Inside the fruit, a cavity is formed, filled with air. After red ripening and drying, the seeds and placenta are easily separated.
The seeds are flat, kidney-shaped, light yellow, yellow, or golden yellow. The average weight of a thousand seeds is 5-6g. The seed lifespan is 3-4 years.
