INTRODUCTION
Capsicum is a crop that can be cultivated commercially and provide a good profit to the farmer. This crop needs enough sunlight (at least 6 hours a day).
Pepper grows best in soil with natural fertilizers, moist soil but not waterlogged.
Goat peppers need soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. If the pH is lower than 6.0, add lime to the soil; And if the pH of the soil has reached 8, consult with agricultural experts for advice on how to reduce it.
PREPARING SEEDLINGS
Pepper seeds are grown in a nursery before being transplanted to the field. Plant the seeds in the nursery 7 to 10 weeks before the time you plan to plant the seedlings in the field. Plant three seeds in each hole and select two that germinate well for transplanting to the field.
TRANSFERRING SEEDLINGS IN THE FIELD
Move the seedlings into the field when they have developed 8 leaves, although transferring them with fewer or more leaves will not cause any problems.
IMPORTANT... You are advised to transfer the seedlings to the field considering the following factors.
On the first day at the end of the day, put the seedlings in the shade or in a place where there is a barrier so that direct sunlight does not reach the seedlings. As the days go by, allow the seedlings to get more sunlight.
Dig holes long enough to exceed the length of the roots of the seedlings, then mix well the soil with cow manure. The best time to transfer your seedlings to the field is in the evening or when the sun has faded to avoid the seedlings drying out.
Mix sulfur (2 Tablets) in water and water and repeat this mixture every two weeks. Sulfur helps to kill fungus, kills harmful bacteria, prevents diseases and also helps the roots to spread and grow quickly and get nutrients.
Watering the seedlings with enough water after moving them to the field helps to reduce plant stress when the environment is changed. Use Miracle Gro fertilizer every two weeks.
REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLANT
Pepper is a crop that needs the most moisture in the field, but the water should not be salty. During the period when the flowers have come out and the pepper fruits have started to emerge, the soil being too dry does not have enough moisture, causing the flowers to drop. Avoid over watering or under watering. You can mulch the grass to help conserve moisture in the field. The plant begins to flower early after making branches, the flower of the plant blooms with a complete set (female and male) so it has the ability to pollinate itself. Wind, insects or hand pollination help increase pollination.
OR
FERTILIZER
10 days after planting now continue to fertilize, this time use Yaramila winner 5-10g per seedling. NB: Do not throw it on top.. make sure you spread the fertilizer around the plant and don't put it too close to the plant, keep it 4-6 cm from the plant.
And every 21 days, put Yaramila winner or NPK fertilizer. Except when the flowers have started, put Yaramila nitrobo or CAN 10g/plant, and after that you will continue with Y-winner until the end of the harvest.
WEEDING
Peppers are a crop that does not have very long roots, so the farmer should pay attention to that and increase attention when weeding to avoid cutting the roots.
DISEASES
1) Fusarium wilt
How to avoid it. .Match your field with dry leaves to reduce heat.
.Uproot all diseased plants and burn the remains.
.Avoid spreading the disease by properly cleaning farm equipment and underfoot when entering the field.
Do your best to keep the plants healthy by applying enough fertilizer and water.
.Spray a fungicide such as ortiva.
2) Southern blight (Sclerotium wilt)
This disease you will see on the Chinese stem white fungus (Whitish fungal growth on the stems of infected plant). The lower leaves can wither. This disease occurs in a short period of time during hot weather.
Avoidance/Prevention.
.When plowing ..plow to the bottom so that the fungi go very low where the roots do not reach.
.Infested plants...Uproot all and burn but burn outside the field area.
.Blow Ortiva.
3) Anthracnose.
This is a common disease in bell pepper and this disease can stay in the ground for a long time. You will see the symptoms of the fruit if there are parts that become black and full of fluid...this symptom spreads to a large part of the fruit and later the fruit rots.
Avoidance.
To avoid the recurrence of the disease season after season.. After harvesting, burn all the remains.
.The field where you cultivated peppers, do not repeat the cultivation of peppers more than twice...change the crop by planting a crop that is not of the same species as the goat pepper (Do crop rotation)
.Also this disease can pass through the seeds...so the farmer must take seeds from by an authorized and trusted agent...seeds should not be produced from disease-affected plants.
4) Bacteria.
Bacterial spots on fruits....can appear and spread quickly during extreme heat and moisture in the soil. This disease can also spread through seeds.
Its symptoms you will see brown spots under the water and also on the fruit.
Avoidance.
.Do not make seeds from plants affected by this disease. Buy from an agent.
. Spray any medicine copper.
5) Viruses.
There are many types of viruses that attack bell peppers.
Its symptoms are the leaves turning yellow and curling.
Avoidance.
.Buy quality seeds
.Spray insecticides starting from the taro and continuing. Insects that cause viruses are very similar to insects (Aphids), so if you spend all your time in the field, there are no insects by spraying Actara.
NB: With all the information above. Don't stay more than 14 days without using insecticide and mold/fungus even if there is no disease
INSECTS
Peppers goats are attacked by;
A) Fat insects (Aphids)
Control them.
Use Actara 8g/20L.
Or use insects that eat oil, for example special beetles.
B) Crickets
These insects stay in the ground near the plant and at night they come out from where they hide and cut young seedlings.
Control them.
When you prepare the field, prepare properly so that their houses die and leave them in danger of being eaten by birds and other insects.
C) Beetle.
Send Karate 40cm/20L.
D) Mites
Medicine: Use Dynamec or any with Abamectin.
E) Nematodes and etc.
Use solvigo.
HARVEST
Peppers are ready to be harvested in 60 to 95 days depending on the type of seed you used. Iron carefully without uprooting the plant so that it continues to produce. Harvest can last for 1 to 3 months.
SAFETY DURING HARVESTING
Peppers contain chemicals called capsaicinoids that can
irritate the skin or eyes if you touch them. Wear gloves when harvesting and be careful not to touch your eyes.
MARKET
OPPORTUNITIES
Peppers are a product that has no substitute, thus making its demand permanent.
Challenges
The time that many farmers have been producing more of them greatly affects the pepper market because even if the price is lowered, it cannot persuade consumers to use more pepper.
To avoid this challenge, farmers are advised to reduce farm services until the market stabilizes.
METHODS OF SUCCESS IN AGRICULTURE
1. PRODUCE IN QUANTITY
Large production helps to reduce costs that are unavoidable (Fixed Cost). If you produce in large quantities at a low cost, you will also be able to sell your products at a low price and still get a good profit and guarantee yourself a guaranteed market for your products.
2. SEARCH FOR PRODUCTS MARKETS BEFORE STARTING PRODUCTION
A successful farmer must also be a good businessman, let alone a good producer. It is good for the farmer to create channels in advance to get customers for your crops. If you produce in large quantities at a low cost, it will help you a lot in getting markets and you will have more influence on customers. Generate customers and customers will generate business for you.
The customer wants three basic things.
-Reduced prices
-Quality of crops
-Reliable availability of products
If you guarantee yourself the three things above, there is no doubt that you will have guaranteed yourself a guaranteed market
3. DON'T FOLLOW THE SEASON
When you farm according to the season, you will find that many farmers have produced a certain crop in large quantities in one period. leading to the availability of the crop being greater than what is needed in the markets, this leads to the crops being sold at a low price and leads to farmers not having enough profit or even incurring losses at other times.
When you cultivate in off-season, the farmer will be able to produce a crop/crops during the period when others are not producing, so the demand will be high and the availability of that crop will be limited, so the farmer will be able to set a good price for his crops.
(DO IRRIGATION AGRICULTURE)
4. DON'T DO AGRICULTURE BY PRACTICE
-Use agricultural experts
-Use modern farming methods
-Do a land survey against the crop you want to do (Use experts)
-Do irrigation agriculture to be able to produce a period that others cannot produce so that you can sell your produce at a better price
BENEFITS OF USING PEPPER
1. Pepper is very helpful in balancing blood sugar
2. Eating pepper can help people who are overweight or suffering from diabetes. This is according to a team of researchers at the University of Tasmania, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in July 2006.
3. The study has also shown that the habit of eating pepper can significantly help control and balance insulin by 60% . after eating food.
4. Pepper helps to reduce pain and swelling in the glands and also helps rheumatoid and arthritis patients to recover. It also helps to remove the accumulation of blood in one part of the body
5. Pepper helps to quickly and effectively open the nose blocked by the flu, allowing you to breathe more easily!
6. Pepper also helps to reduce the risk of stomach cancer (Stomach Cancer)
7. Pepper helps to increase the metabolic rate, which helps burn fat, eating pepper can raise your metabolic rate up to 23% within 3 hours.
8. Eating pepper helps reduce cholesterol, and reduce the amount of fibrin in the blood
