With a passion for learning and learning that has drawn a lot of experiences from the family’s pepper garden, Nguyen Minh Vinh in Cam My, Dong Nai would like to send to giatieu.com community sharing about cotton making techniques for to spend openly in order to hope that people everywhere have a lot of good pepper crops.

One of the very difficult techniques of growing pepper must not be mistaken, which is the technique of making cotton. Surely all pepper growers know that, in addition to pest and disease management, the phenomenon of crop failure, year of failure, also makes many people cry and laugh. Farmers are often subjective, leaving them to heaven.
In the seminars about pepper Most of them talk about pest control or promote plant protection products, and rarely hear about cotton making techniques. Part is that people hide their jobs and don’t want to show them, the part is that they don’t dare to share them. It is said that please grieve is very true in this case. Just a glass wrong is a thousand miles. It is said to make cotton, but it must combine many factors. From pest management, water capture, fertilization, care, … The ultimate goal of the above is a high-yield, stable and sustainable tree. In which cotton making technique is the key.
Let pepper Every year is good season. You need to learn a little about plant physiology. Once you have grasped the growth stages of plants, soil and climate in your area, it will be easier to take care of pepper. This requires a certain amount of experience and understanding. Including factors such as climate, weather, soil, rain, sunshine, … In the past, when we used to rely on the factors of “natural time and advantage” to fight, today we also use the That factor makes economic.
I will introduce my own cotton making process for reference. The main difficulty is to make the pepper trees flower in a concentrated manner, with high and stable yield.
Let the tree pepper For stable high yield required plants pepper must be healthy with little sickness. Limit pepper impaired by a reasonable diet throughout the year. If a tree is healthy, it can give a stable high yield.
The pepper tree has an interesting feature that each of its eyes and hands can produce cotton if you know how to wake it up. The eyes on hand pepper always contains 1 germ. It was like a sleeping princess waiting for the prince to wake up. The proper differentiation of flower buds, plants will always yield high. It is not too difficult to do that.
1. Things to do when stopping water
After harvesting People should wash plants with fungicides or copper-based drugs to kill pathogens, kill harmful fungi on leaves such as lichen anthracnose, and let diseased old leaves drop.
Clean buds, cut off eel pepper and hands that are close to the ground.
Gather the old leaves, diseased leaves, and burn them.
The purpose of the above is to prevent disease and facilitate pepper differentiation of flower buds.
But the key to differentiation of flower buds is to brake the water. According to the research of scientists, when plants are exposed to drought for 15 days, Absisic Acid increases, Cytokinin Acid and Giberilic Acid decrease which is a good condition that stimulates flower germ differentiation to develop flower formation. . Changes the process of nutritional growth to the process of realization (flowering). During this time, we brake the water without watering. But the process of watering requires longer, because surely the moisture in the soil is still there when we take care and watering the plants to prevent failure when harvested, the plants are not dry enough to differentiate flower buds. I usually keep hydrated for 30 to 45 days depending on the pepper consumption or not. When changing from growing to real life, it is required that the tree be figured for high yield. If pepper If the fig can not differentiate the flower buds, the transformation will not be successful, the plant can produce two flowers. As the situation this year many people are facing, the tree is easy to understand. Then it will produce the 2nd cotton sputtering very uncomfortable.
So after harvesting, you need to divide into 3 types of pepper: fig pepper, normal pepper without failure and weak pepper.
For pepper However, usually the varieties of early ripening like India, people just need to water them until the time to push the fertilizer, then push them at the same time with pepper, to stop the water, the plants will flower. No need to worry. When the plant fails, Acid Absisic is already abundant in the plant and the plant is ready to flower all the time. But if we do not balance the fertilizer, the tree will lose crops next year. Because plants have to focus on the nutrient creation process.
For pepper Figs we must pay attention from when harvesting. Especially when watering at harvest to prevent tree failure requires a certain experience. Must know how to distinguish fig or less figs to adjust the amount of watering plants properly during the harvest. With pepper fig and pepper Normally, 30-45 days water braking is a very important requirement. In spite of pepper Very good, fig but if the water is not blocked to facilitate the differentiation of flower buds, the plant will have very little cotton.
Burning old leaves and diseased leaves also contributes significantly to creating conditions for flower bud differentiation. The amount of ash that we burn back to the soil is Potassium, which helps plants become stronger, increasing their resistance to increasingly adverse environmental conditions.
After stopping the water, watering it again is soaked like rain 2 times a week for the plants to recover. Not only watering in the base, but also outside the canopy, because the roots of the pepper are very far away. Spray foliar fertilizer to stimulate flowering and young leaves to focus first, then fertilize. This action helps the tree recover its health after a period of pressing. If fertilizing at the first time of irrigation, the plant cannot absorb it, possibly injuring the root system and wasting fertilizer. Foliar fertilizer helps plants absorb more easily. In industry, it is called productivity and in agriculture, it is called uptake of nutrients by plants. Our relatives often rarely pay attention to this issue.
The big problem in the process of differentiating flower buds that people often encounter, is the early rain. As a result of the storm number 1 this year you know. Water braking becomes very difficult under such conditions, perhaps even impossible. But we can still overcome it by spraying with flower sprays, or it can be replaced with copper-based medicine, at which point the leaves will drop about 15-30%. After about 1-2 weeks, we re-apply foliar fertilizer to stimulate flowering and young leaves focus as if the water was stopped. And take the next step as if you had finished dividing the flower. Note that people should only apply for pepper figs because this effect is quite strong. This way can give pepper cotton as desired. But after all, the weather also has a significant impact on the production of cotton. If we know how to fix the weather, it won’t be a big deal. Should see the weather forecast so that we can also calculate the appropriate flowering plants.
Flower bud differentiation is just a small start to a long journey in plant flowering techniques pepper.
