Brief Facts About Chilli

MOST IMPORTANT SPICE CROP

c

hilli originated in the Americas, and has been part of the human diet since at least 7500 BC. Explorer Christopher Columbus brought it back to Spain in the 15th century and its cultivation spread rapidly through Europe, Asia, India and Africa. Part of the capsicum family, chillies come in scores of varieties and colours and are one of the most popular spices in the world. Chillies can be used fresh, dried or powdered, and the level of heat varies from type to type, from sweet and mellow to blisteringly hot - as a general rule, the smaller the chilli, the hotter the taste. Chili are the fruits of Capsicum pepper plants, noted for their hot avor.They are members of the nightshade family, related to bell peppers and tomatoes, and most belong to a species known scientiď€ cally as Capsicum annuum. There are many varieties of chili , such as cayenne and jalapenos.

Chilies are excellent source of Vitamin, A, B, C and E with minerals like molybdenum, manganese, folate, potassium, thiamin, and copper. Chili contains seven times more vitamin C than orange. Ever since its introduction to India in 1498, chilies have been included in Ayurvedic medicines and used as tonic to ward off many diseases. Chilies are good for slimming down as it burns the calorie easily. Chilies stimulate the appetite, help to clear the lungs, and stimulate digestive system.

Good Agriculture Practices

Soil Management

Pest and Disease Management

Water Management

Sowing & Seed Treatment Harvest and Storage


Soil Management Chilli can be grown in a range of soils, but black soils which retain moisture for long periods are suitable for rainfed crop whereas well drained soils, deltaic soils and sandy loams are good under irrigated condition. However, in hills of Uttarakhand, chilli are grown in a wide range of soils ranging from sandy to clay loam mixed with gravel and coarse sand. Maintenance of buffer zone in Chilli Farming :- In organic chilli farming, a buffer zone of 7.5 -15 m is to be left all around the conventional farm, depending upon the location of the farm. The produce from this buffer zone shall not be treated as organic. Chillies are grown in a variety of soils provided they are well drained, well aerated and rich in organic matter. The drained conditions cause shedding of leaves, sickly appearance and fruit drop. Can be grown successfully in light textures soils by providing adequate irrigation and manuring. Heavy textured soils are also suitable for rainfed crop.

HEALTHY SOIL LEADS TO HEALTHY AGRICULTURE

An ideal soil for chilli is light loamy or sandy loam rich in lime and organic matters. Strongly acid and alkaline soils are not suitable for chilli growing. Chilli can be successfully grown in soils with soil pH of 6-7.


Climate High temperature associated with low relative humidity at owering increases the transpiration resulting in abscission of buds, owers and small fruits. Average high night temperature was found to be responsible for the high capsaicin content. A day length of 9-10 hours light stimulates plant growth and increases the productivity by 21 24% besides improving the quality of capsicum.

It can be grown successfully as a rain-fed crop in areas receiving an annual rainfall of 850-1200 mm. Heavy rainfall leads to poor fruit set and in association with high humidity leads to rotting of fruits. A soil temperature of 10°C retards plant development, where as 17°C causes normal development. A temperature ranging from 20-25°C is ideal for chillies. Tops of plant will continue to develop at higher temperatures but root development is retarded at soil temperatures of 30°C and above. In chillies fruit development was found to be adversely affected at temperatures of 37°C or more. Chillies can be grown under tropical and sub-tropical climates. It can be cultivated upto an altitude of 2000m. However, pungent varieties or varieties suited for spices cannot be grown on higher altitudes. A warm humid climate favours growth while warm and dry weather enhances fruit maturity.


Sowing & Seed Requirement The land is prepared by giving 2-3 ploughings and clod crushing after each ploughing. Compost or FYM @ 150-200 quintals should be spread and mixed well in the soil at least 15-20 days before sowing. Chilli is propagated by seeds. For raising nurseries, seeds of high yielding varieties with tolerance to pests and diseases may be used. They should be carefully selected from certied organic farms or from own seed plot which is raised organically. To start with, chemically untreated seeds from local high yielding varieties could also be used, in the absence of organically produced seeds. 40-45 clays old seedlings are used for transplantation. Transplanting is generally done during the April-May in the hills of Uttarakhand. Seedlings are transplanted in shallow trenches / pits or on ridges / level lands. In some places, 60 cm x 60 cm or 45 cm x 30 cm or 30 cm x 30 cm spacing is also followed. However, a spacing of 60 cm x 30 cm with a plant population of about 22200 seedlings per acre or 45 cm x 45 cm with a plant population of 19750 per acre are considered optimum.

GOOD SEEDS MAKE GOOD CROP

Direct sowing is practiced under rainfed conditions. For direct sown crop, the seeds are drilled by the end of March or rst week of April. Seed rate is 2.5-3.0 kg per acre. After 30-40 days of sowing, thinning and gap lling is done on a cloudy day.


ESSENTIAL PART OF AGRICULTURE

Water Management Chilli cannot withstand heavy moisture. Hence irrigation should be given only when necessary. Frequent and heavy irrigation induces lanky vegetative growth and cause ower shedding. Plant growth, branching and dry matter accumulation are adversely affected by excess irrigation. The number of irrigation and interval between irrigation depends on soil and climatic conditions. If the plants show drooping of leaves at 4 p.m., it is an indication that irrigation is needed. Flowering and fruit development in chilli are the most critical stages of water requirement. Normally chilli is grown under rain-fed condition. However, under irrigated condition, care should be taken to avoid using water contaminated with fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides. Irrigation should be done judiciously. Stagnation of water should not be allowed in nursery beds and ď€ elds in order to avoid fungal infection.


Pest And Disease Management


Pest Management Aphids are small sap-sucking insects and members of the superfamily Aphidoidea. Common names include greeny and blacky, but the insects can also be brown or pink, and the group includes the uffy white woolly aphids.

It is one of the serious pests of sorghum in India. The Pest attacks the crop only in early stage of growth and infestation goes up to 80%. The high yielding hybrids are more susceptible to the attack of this y. The total loss in yield is sometimes as high as 60%.

jassid is a sucking pest occurring throughout the crop growing period on chilli in all the zones. The pest injects toxins into leaves while feeding which results in abnormal changes in leaves marginal chlorosis and reddening. Since the pest severity is dependent on the occurrence of congenial weather conditions .

Thrips are small insects, about 0.04 inch long. Adult thrips have two pairs of narrow wings which are fringed with hairs. Thrips are most noticeable and of greatest concern at two periods during the corn growing season: on young seedling plants and at ear formation.


Insecticide An insecticide is a substance used to kill insects. They include ovicides and larvicides used against insect eggs and larvae, respectively. Insecticides are used in agriculture, medicine, industry and by consumers. Insecticides can be classiď€ ed in two major groups: systemic insecticides, which have residual or long term activity; and contact insecticides, which have no residual activity.

Fungicide Fungicides are biocidal chemical compounds or biological organisms used to kill fungi or fungal spores. A fungistatic inhibits their growth. Fungi can cause serious damage in agriculture, resulting in critical losses of yield, quality, and proď€ t. Fungicides are used both in agriculture and to ď€ ght fungal infections in animals. Chemicals used to control oomycetes, which are not fungi, are also referred to as fungicides, as oomycetes use the same mechanisms as fungi to infect plants.


Diseases Management This is a fungal disease which occurs on many vegetable crops but is most severe on chillies. If action is not taken, the farmer will end up with poor and marginal crops. Seed treatments are effective in eliminating the seed-borne inoculum. Chemicals like zineb, copper oxychloride and wettable sulphur not only reduce the disease incidence but also increase the yield of fruits

The leaf spot disease is seen both in nursery and main ď€ eld. The disease causes loss due to defoliation and reduction in photosynthesis. The disease ď€ rst manifests as small brownish spots on the leaves and graduallydevelops into the big circular grayish spots with whitish center.
