1.Variety CharacteristicslMid-early maturing, cluster-bearing, large-fruited facing-heaven chili variety.lModerate growth vigor, with 9-11 lateral branches and stiff stems. Exhibits excellent fruit clustering.lPlant height approximately 59 cm, plant spread about 58 x 58 cm.lInitial flowering node around the 12th node, with pronounced purple nodes and dark green leaves.lFruit is finger-shaped, approximately 10.0 cm long, 1.3 cm wide, with a flesh thickness of about 0.15 cm. Average single fruit weight is 8.2g.lImmature fruit is green, maturing to red. High number of fruits per cluster.lFruit is easy to dry; dried peppers have high oil content, making them suitable for drying and processing.2.Seedling Time and Method in the Huang-Huai-Hai Regionof ChinalSmall Arch Shelter Seedling Raising:Optimal sowing time is from late February to early March.lGreenhouse Plug Tray Seedling Raising:Sowing time is from early to mid-March.lTransplanting Time:Late April to early May, when seedlings are 45-50 days old.lFresh Pepper Harvest:Fresh peppers can be harvested for market from late August to early September.3. Cultivating Strong Seedlings3.1 Seed TreatmentlSeed disinfection is the most economical and effective method for cultivating robust seedlings and reducing seedling diseases. Common methods include:lSun-drying seeds for 1-2 hours before sowing.lChemical treatment.lWarm water immersion.3.2 SowinglSelect a seedbed site that is sheltered from wind, sunny, flat, dry, and well-drained.lStrictly avoid using land previously planted with peppers, tobacco, eggplants, tomatoes, or other solanaceous vegetables for seedling raising.3.3 Seedling ManagementTemperature Control:lAfter sowing: Maintain 20-28°C during the day and 18-20°C at night. Soil temperature in the seedbed should not be lower than 18°C.lAfter emergence: Maintain 18–25°C during the day and 10–15°C at night.lIf temperatures are too low, cover with straw curtains for insulation and cold protection. If too high, ventilate by uncovering the film.Fertigation:Starting from the 4-true-leaf stage, irrigate every 7-10 days with a mixture of either:l0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.2% multi-element compound fertilizer, orl0.2% urea plus 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate.Water Management:lBefore the 4-leaf stage: Water sparingly, focusing on control.lDuring the 6-8 leaf stage: Ensure adequate water supply, focusing on promotion.lBefore transplanting: Control watering to make the seedlings sturdy and robust.4. Timely TransplantinglUpright chilies prefer moisture but are susceptible to waterlogging. Choose loamy, sandy loam, or clay loam soil that retains fertilizer, is loose, and well-aerated.lSeedlings should be lifted, transplanted, and watered promptly and without delay.5. Field Management5.1 Water ManagementlUpright chilies have shallow root systems, weak stress resistance, and are susceptible to both drought and waterlogging. They prefer a moist ecological environment and require relatively high soil moisture content.lPrinciple: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, allowing it to appear dry shortly after being wet.lWater when dry, drain when waterlogged. Irrigate frequently with small amounts of water to maintain soil moisture. Avoid flood irrigation.5.2 Timely Topping (Pinching)Topping is essential when plants begin to bud in late May.lPurpose 1: To inhibit main stem growth and promote lateral branch sprouting, thereby increasing yield.lPurpose 2: If not topped, the first fruit cluster is highly prone to disease and rot, which can lead to severe crop reduction from field-wide disease.5.3 Scientific TopdressinglPrinciple: Use balanced compound fertilizer in the early stage, balanced N-P-K fertilizer during the mid-stage peak fruiting period, and high-potassium compound fertilizer in the later stage.lApply a "fruit-setting fertilizer" at the initial flowering stage, typically 10-15 kg of N-P-K compound fertilizer per 667m2.lAfter fruit set, foliar fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, calcium, and boron can be sprayed in combination with disease control to promote robust plant growth and enhance disease resistance.6. Pest and Disease ControllCommon diseases: Damping-off, viral diseases, Phytophthora blight, root rot, etc.lCommon pests: Aphids, thrips, whiteflies, tobacco budworms, spider mites, etc.lGeneral principle: Prevention first, integrated control.7. Timely HarvestinglThe harvesting time depends on the purpose.lFor fresh consumption: Harvest green peppers upon maturity based on market conditions.lIn this region, harvesting for drying is primary. Generally, harvest after the peppers have fully turned red and before the first frost.
