Cultivation Guidelines

  • Sowing Period: Primarily Kharif (June–July) and Rabi (October–November).

  • Nursery Management: Use pro-trays for better seedling establishment. Transplanting should occur when seedlings are 30–35 days old.

  • Recommended Spacing:

    • Row to Row: 60–90 cm.

    • Plant to Plant: 45–60 cm (adjust based on soil fertility).

  • Nutrient Management: * Chilis are heavy feeders. Ensure a strong basal dose of NPK and organic manure.

    • Fertigation: Regular application of water-soluble fertilizers like 19:19:19 during the vegetative stage and 13:0:45 during fruiting will enhance fruit size and pungency.
