The small chilies are highly valued for their intense spiciness, superior quality, and strong storage resistance. They have gained widespread popularity among consumers, making the market very promising. As a result, the area dedicated to their cultivation has been increasing year by year. To meet growing demand while ensuring environmental safety, pollution-free cultivation techniques have been introduced.
For variety selection, the Japanese Chaotian pepper is recommended. This variety is known for its strong disease and heat resistance, along with its thick flesh, moderate fruit size, and high yield. It's an excellent choice for farmers looking to produce quality peppers consistently.
These small peppers thrive in well-drained sandy soils that are deep, loose, and fertile. The ideal planting periods are spring and summer, allowing for two harvest cycles annually. In spring, seedlings are typically planted in small arch greenhouses as early as January, with transplanting done in late April. Harvesting takes place from late June until the first frost. For summer planting, seedlings are started in February, transplanted in May, and harvested between July and autumn.
To prepare the seedbed, a nutrient mix is made using 60% vegetable garden soil (not previously used for eggplants), 30% decomposed manure, and 10% plant ash. Approximately 100 kg of this mixture is used per mu (about 0.15 acres). Before sowing, formalin is applied at a rate of 25 ml per 3 kg of water, then the bed is covered and left for 2–3 days. After watering the bed, a layer of the nutrient soil is placed, followed by sowing. A thin layer of the same soil (about 1 cm) is added on top. Each mu requires 50–75 grams of seeds. After sowing, mulch and plastic film are used to cover the bed, with hay stacks placed on top. The daytime temperature should be kept around 30°C, while nighttime temperatures should stay between 18°C and 20°C. Once the seedlings emerge, they need as much sunlight as possible, and only healthy, sunny seedlings are selected. The seedbed is sprayed 2–3 times with a solution containing 10 kg of water mixed with 9 kg of water and 20% virus A diluted 600 times to prevent diseases. About 5–7 days before transplanting, the seedlings are gradually acclimated to outdoor conditions, with daytime temperatures maintained at 15–25°C and nighttime temperatures at 8–15°C.
For site preparation, the soil should be deep, fertile, and well-drained. After harvesting, the land is tilled to a depth of 20–30 cm. In the first half-month after planting, 5,000–6,000 kg of composted manure, 2,500–3,000 kg of animal manure, 30–50 kg of compound fertilizer or 40–50 kg of superphosphate, and 10–15 kg of potassium chloride are applied per mu and incorporated into the soil. Ridges are created with a base width of 40–50 cm and a height of 20 cm. Drainage ditches are dug every four ridges, and cross ditches are made every 20–30 meters. In spring, planting begins after the last frost when the ground temperature reaches at least 10°C. Holes are dug 8–10 cm deep, with one row of plants per ridge and spacing of 30–35 cm, resulting in 3,500–4,000 plants per acre. Spring planting is done in the afternoon, with watering during the process, while summer planting is best done on cloudy days.
After planting, regular watering is essential to maintain optimal soil moisture. Fertilization is carried out 5–7 times during the growing season. When the heart leaves appear and new roots develop, a diluted manure solution is applied. At the beginning of fruit setting, 7–10 kg of urea per mu is used. After each harvest or every 7–10 days, another application of 10–13 kg of urea per acre is given to promote plant stability and extend the fruiting period. Soil cultivation is performed regularly, with a depth of 5–7 cm. Near the roots, shallow cultivation is used, while intercropping areas require deeper tilling. Weeds are manually removed without the use of herbicides to avoid root damage.
Harvesting occurs when the peppers turn red, indicating full maturity and optimal flavor.
Insect net greenhouse also known as plant and vegetables greenhouse net. Used for prevent the insect fly into the greenhouse during the plant growing, and cover the plants. Key off the approaches that the pests (adult insect) breeding. Effective control of the spread of all kinds of harmful pests spread, such as Cabbage caterpillar, diamondback moth, aphids, flea beetles, Sweet agnates, American leaf miner, literal etc and prevent the harmful of virus spread. Significantly reduced the use of chemical pesticides, so that the planting vegetables good-quality and health.
