REQUIREMENTS

SOIL- Loam, clay loam and loamy soils

TEMPERATURE-  20-25°C

pH- 5.5 to 7

RAINFALL-  25-30 inches.

SUSCEPTIBILITY- Chilli leaf curl  virus 

IRRIGATION
  • It cannot handle excessive moisture, only water it when absolutely necessary.
  • Irrigation that is too heavy results in lanky vegetative growth and flower drop.
  • The number of irrigations and the interval between them are determined by the soil and meteorological conditions.
  • If a plant's show starts to fade around 4 p.m., it's a sign that it needs to be watered.
  • Water requirements are most crucial during flowering and fruit development.
  • Water stagnation in the nursery and field should be avoided since it promotes fungal infection.
CULTIVATION
  •  Chili seeds are used to reproduce the plant.
  • Seeds of high-yielding varieties with pest and disease tolerance can be utilized to raise nurseries.
  • They should be carefully chosen from certified organic farms or from your own organically raised seed plot.
  • In the lack of organically generated seeds, chemically untreated seeds from local high producing kinds could be utilized, to begin with.
