खेती एवं बुवाई निर्देशिका — Chilli Seeds – Karina
फसल के सर्वोत्तम प्रबंधन, रोग प्रतिरोधकता और प्रीमियम उत्पादन के लिए संपूर्ण चरणबद्ध कृषि निर्देशिका।
🌾 भूमि की तैयारी एवं खेत सुधार
खेत की समुचित जुताई एवं तैयारी से एकसमान अंकुरण और मजबूत जड़ों का विकास होता है।
🌱 आदर्श मिट्टी का प्रकार एवं pH
Well-drained loamy or sandy-loam soils with a pH range of 6.0–7.5. Chilli thrives in soils with good organic matter content and adequate moisture retention without waterlogging.
✨ प्रमुख कृषि लाभ
Loamy soils provide optimal root penetration, aeration, and nutrient availability, ensuring vigorous early growth and strong anchorage for long slender fruits.
- 1
Deep summer ploughing to a depth of 25–30 cm followed by 2–3 cross-harrowings to achieve fine tilth and destroy weed seeds.
- 2
Field leveling with laser leveling if possible; prepare adequate drainage channels to prevent water stagnation during heavy rains.
- 3
Incorporate 8–10 tonnes per acre of well-decomposed FYM or compost into the topsoil during the final harrowing to improve soil structure and microbial activity.
- 4
Conduct a soil test before sowing; if pH is below 6.0, apply agricultural lime at 200–250 kg/acre, and if above 7.5, incorporate gypsum at 150 kg/acre for balanced nutrient uptake.
🌱 बुवाई का समय एवं विधि
सटीक बीज दर और सही दूरी से पौधों को पर्याप्त सूर्य का प्रकाश और संतुलित विकास मिलता है।
| मानक / पैरामीटर | अनुशंसा / निर्देश | कृषि महत्व |
|---|---|---|
| बुवाई समय सीमा | Kharif: June–July | Rabi: October–November | Summer: March–April (under shade/net house) | Aligns germination and early growth with favorable temperature (25–30°C) and humidity, minimizing stress during seedling stage. |
| बीज दर (प्रति एकड़) | 40–50 g per Acre (Transplanted method) | Ensures optimal plant population of approximately 35,000–40,000 plants per acre for balanced canopy development. |
| कतार एवं पौधे का अंतर | 60 cm (Row-to-Row) × 45 cm (Plant-to-Plant) | Provides adequate inter-row space for air circulation, pest management operations, and reduces humidity-related disease pressure. |
| Sowing / Transplanting Depth | Sow seeds at 0.5–1.0 cm depth in nursery; transplant at 15–20 cm depth ensuring 3–4 true leaves stage (25–30 DAT) | Optimal sowing depth ensures uniform emergence; proper transplanting depth establishes strong root system for sustained vegetative and reproductive growth. |
💧 सिंचाई एवं जल प्रबंधन
उचित नमी प्रबंधन से पौधे की वानस्पतिक एवं फलने-फूलने की अवस्था में जोरदार विकास होता है।
☀️ जल आवश्यकता एवं सिंचाई प्रोफाइल
Chilli is moderately drought-tolerant but performs best with consistent soil moisture. Under drip irrigation, apply 2–3 cm of water every 3–4 days during active growth. Drip fertigation is highly compatible with Karina chilli and improves water use efficiency by up to 40%. Avoid both waterlogging and prolonged dry spells, which can cause flower drop and sunscald on fruits.
🌦️ Soil नमी प्रबंधन
In rainfed conditions, rely on residual soil moisture during the initial 20–25 days after transplanting. Apply mulch (straw or polythene) to conserve soil moisture and reduce evaporation. Provide 1–2 supplemental irrigations during critical fruit development stages if rainfall is insufficient. Avoid standing water for more than 24 hours as it rapidly induces root rot.
- ✓
First irrigation should be given immediately after transplanting (bare-root drench) followed by light irrigation after 2–3 days to promote root establishment.
- ✓
Vegetative phase (15–45 DAT): Irrigate at 5–7 day intervals depending on soil type; sandy soils require more frequent light irrigation while clay soils need longer intervals.
- ✓
Critical stages — flowering and fruit set (45–75 DAT): Maintain consistent soil moisture; water stress during this phase causes significant flower abortion and poor fruit set. Reduce irrigation slightly once fruits reach full size.
- ✓
Pre-harvest: Withhold irrigation 5–7 days before the last picking to improve fruit firmness, enhance pungency, and extend shelf life during transit.
🧪 उर्वरक एवं पोषण प्रबंधन
संतुलित पोषण से मजबूत पौधा संरचना और उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली उपज प्राप्त होती है।
| पोषक तत्व | अनुशंसित मात्रा (प्रति एकड़) | प्रयोग विधि एवं समय |
|---|---|---|
| नाइट्रोजन (N) | 80–100 kg/acre | Apply 50% N basally at transplanting and remaining 50% as split top-dressing at 30 DAT and 60 DAT in equal splits. |
| Phosphorus (P2O5) | 50–60 kg/acre | 100% applied basal along with FYM during final land preparation; incorporate into the root zone at planting. |
| Potash (K2O) | 40–50 kg/acre | Apply 70% basal and remaining 30% at 60 DAT to support fruit development, pungency, and overall plant vigor. |
🌿 निराई-गुड़ाई एवं खरपतवार नियंत्रण
समय पर खरपतवार नियंत्रण से मुख्य फसल को पूर्ण पोषण और नमी मिलती है।
-
1
पहली निराई-गुड़ाई: Carry out first weeding and shallow hoeing at 15–20 days after transplanting (DAT) to control early weed flush and improve soil aeration. Keep hoeing shallow (5 cm depth) to avoid root damage near the plant base.
-
2
दूसरी निराई एवं मिट्टी चढ़ाना: Perform second weeding and earthing-up at 35–40 DAT to support branching stems, improve root oxygenation, and prevent lodging as the plant grows taller with fruit load. Mound soil gently around the base of each plant.
-
3
Mulching and Stake Support: Apply black polythene mulch or organic straw mulch immediately after transplanting to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain soil temperature. Install stake supports or low trellis netting at 45 DAT for plants with heavy fruit load to prevent branch breakage under the weight of long slender fruits.
🛡️ कीट एवं रोग नियंत्रण
फसल की सक्रिय निगरानी और एकीकृत प्रबंधन से रोगमुक्त एवं स्वस्थ फसल सुनिश्चित होती है।
🐛 कीट प्रबंधन एवं रोकथाम
- Mirid Bug (Heliothips armiger): Small slender insects causing silvering and scarring on young fruits. Control: Spray Malathion 50 EC at 1.5 ml/L or Imidacloprid 17.8 SL at 0.3 ml/L. Apply at early infestation stage, ideally during evening hours. Repeat after 10–12 days if needed.
- Thrips (Thrips tabaci): Causes silvery streaks and distortion on leaves and young fruits with characteristic black fecal spots. Control: Spray Spinosad 45 SC at 0.3 ml/L or acetamiprid 20 SP at 0.5 g/L. Use yellow sticky traps at 10 traps per acre for monitoring and mass trapping. Maintain weed-free field perimeter.
- Phytophthora Blight / Root Rot (Phytophthora capsici): Water-soaked lesions on stems and roots, wilting, and plant death especially in waterlogged conditions. Control: Drench soil with Metalaxyl 35 WP at 2.5 g/L or Copper oxychloride at 3 g/L at first sign. Ensure proper drainage and avoid overhead irrigation. Remove and destroy severely affected plants.
🔬 रोग नियंत्रण एवं उपचार
- Bacterial Leaf Spot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria): Small water-soaked spots on leaves turning brown with yellow halos; can infect fruits causing circular sunken lesions. Control: Spray Copper hydroxide at 0.3% (3 g/L) or Kasugamycin at 0.1%. Use hybrid & research disease-free seeds and practice crop rotation with non-Solanaceous crops for 2–3 years.
- Antraknose / Fruit Rot (Colletotrichum capsici): Circular sunken dark brown to black lesions on mature fruits, often with pinkish sporulation in humid conditions. Control: Spray Mancozeb 75 WP at 2 g/L or Chlorothalonil 50 WS at 2 g/L at 10-day intervals during fruit development. Harvest mature fruits promptly to reduce field infection.
- Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum): ಬಿಳಿ powdery fungal growth on leaves and stems, reducing photosynthetic capacity and plant vigor. Control: Spray Wettable Sulphur at 2 g/L or Myclobutanil 5 WP at 0.5 g/L. Ensure proper spacing for air circulation and avoid excessive nitrogen that promotes succulent growth susceptible to infection.
