1. Before sowing, water should be poured into the seedbed to make the soil of the seedbed contain enough water for seeds to germinate and emerge. These irrigation quantities generally need to penetrate into the soil layer of 20 ~ 30 cm. Sowing in summer and autumn should be watered with cold water, and it is best to water with hot water in winter or early spring. The advantage is that it can quickly raise the soil temperature and eliminate harmful organisms. If you sow with a seedling tray, you can use a watering can to thoroughly water the seedling tray filled with nutrient soil.

2. After water permeates, sprinkle a thin layer of screened fine soil on the seedbed or seedling tray to prevent seeds from being scattered in the soil and causing seed soaking. Then evenly sow the germinated pepper seeds (not too dense), and cover them with fine soil or nutrient soil with a thickness of 0.5 ~ 1.0 cm after sowing. Sand is also added to the covering soil, and 1 sand is added for every 3-4 parts of bed soil, and the bed soil is fully mixed. This method can prevent the surface soil from hardening, which is conducive to water permeability and air permeability, so that seedlings can grow sturdily.

3, covering soil should be uniform, appropriate thickness. Overlying soil is too thick, and seedling emergence is delayed or not; The soil is too thin, the water in the seedbed evaporates too quickly, and the soil is easy to dry, which affects the germination and emergence of seeds. Moreover, if the soil is too thin, the seed coat is not easy to fall off when the seedlings are unearthed, resulting in "wearing a hat", which makes the cotyledons unable to unfold smoothly and hinders photosynthesis, thus making the seedlings malnourished and weak.

4. Cover the soil with plastic film to keep the temperature and raise the soil temperature. Check the seedbed at any time after 3 ~ 5 days, and uncover the film immediately after 70% seeds germinate. If it is cloudy or the temperature is low, you can build a small arch shed, cover it for a while, and then dismantle it after sunny days.
