How to Grow Red Chili Peppers
Growing red chili peppers (such as cayenne, bird’s eye, or dried chilies) requires proper preparation and care. Follow these steps:
1. Seed Selection and Preparation
Collect seeds from high-quality red chilies or buy good hybrid seeds from the market.
Dry the seeds properly in the sun.
Seed Treatment: Soak the seeds in a fungicide solution (e.g., 2g of Captan or Bavistin per liter of water) for 30 minutes to prevent diseases.
2. Seedling Preparation
Prepare a seedbed by mixing fertile soil, sand, and organic compost.
Sow the seeds 1-2 cm deep and cover them with a thin layer of soil.
Keep the soil moist by watering regularly.
In 25-30 days, the seedlings will be ready for transplanting.
3. Land Preparation
Plow the soil well to make it loose and weed-free.
Fertilizer Application:
Organic compost: 5-7 tons per acre
Urea: 10-12 kg per acre
TSP (Triple Super Phosphate): 8-10 kg per acre
MOP (Muriate of Potash): 6-8 kg per acre
Mix half of the fertilizers into the soil during land preparation and apply the rest gradually.
4. Transplanting the Seedlings
Select strong seedlings with 4-5 leaves and plant them 30-40 cm apart.
Keep 50-60 cm spacing between rows.
Transplant in the evening or during cool weather to reduce transplant shock.
5. Plant Care & Maintenance
Water 2-3 times per week, more often in dry conditions.
Remove weeds and apply mulch to retain moisture.
Use pesticides or organic pest control solutions every 10-15 days to prevent insect attacks.
Pruning excess branches can help increase yield.
6. Harvesting
Chilies are ready for harvesting 2-3 months after flowering.
Pick them when fully ripened and red.
Dry them in the sun before storage to prevent spoilage.
Additional Tips
Climate: Chilies grow best in warm, sunny conditions.
Drainage: Avoid waterlogging, as excess water can cause root rot.
By following these steps, you can successfully grow red chili peppers with a high yield!
