Dear Sir
Soil Capsicums grow best in deep, well-drained, medium-textured soil, for example, loams, but can be grown in a wide range of soil types. Soil should be at least 30 cm deep, the main requirement being good drainage. Climate Capsicums are particularly sensitive to cold and growth is inhibited below 10°C. When growing seedlings, plastic-covered igloos or any similar structure covered with plastic should be used to reduce frost risk. Pollination is poor in very hot (above 32°C) or very cold (below 15°C) weather. For these reasons autumn, winter and spring production is most common in north Queensland and Bundaberg, and autumn and spring production in other south Queensland districts. Prolonged wet weather causes severe disease pressures so do not plant crops to grow through times when these conditions can be expected. Rain and high humidity can increase development and spread of diseases, particularly bacterial spot. Low humidity favours mites and powdery mildew. Wind can cause fruit rub and blemish and increase water stress, resulting in the development of the fruit disorder blossom-end rot. Slope Uniform slopes are desirable, but not essential. Erosion can be a problem on steep slopes, while depressions can result in waterlogging. The slope can also govern the type of irrigation that can be used. Slopes below 5% are not a limitation, but slopes above 5% require recognised soil conservation practices. Slopes above 10% make operations involving machinery hazardous and maintaining uniform irrigation can be difficult. Water All crops are grown using trickle irrigation and plastic mulch. Up to about four megalitres (ML) per hectare of water is required. Capsicums will not tolerate saline irrigation water. At the seedling stage water conductivity should be below 1200 microSiemens per centimetre (µS/cm). When grown under furrow or trickle irrigation, water with an electrical conductivity (EC) up to 2000 µS/cm can be used on some soils provided careful management practices are followed. Capsicums grown under overhead irrigation are more sensitive to saline irrigation water because of leaf contact with the water. Regards Kirti |

Please let me know where you would like to grow Capsicum.
we take up the project from green house, seedling nursury. plantation. capsicum cultivation mostly done in net house/ Poly house in well prepared soil. we can also take you for the visit of Capsicums field if you like for further information please contact me at private massage. Quote:
