INTRODUCTION OF PEPPER
Peppers are a member of the Solanaceae (night shade
family). Peppers may be "hot" or "sweet". Peppers are a long
season, heat loving crop. This crop requires 3 to 4 months of frost
and cold weather. So they are not generally transplanted until mid
June. The minimum soil temperature for seed germination is 15
degree celsius and maximum is 35 degree celsius and an optimum
range of 18 to 35 degree celsius. Capsaicin manufacture found that
the pepper fruit peel contains capsaicin so that make it as spicy
taste, can increase appettite. Pepper's vitamin C content is ranked
in first place of vegetables.
Only with the development of cultivars such as "Ace hybrid"
and "super set" has pepper growing in the field. Peppers are mainly
limited to the areas of the Atlantic provinces which can
successfully grow grain corn. Peppers require an adequate and
regular supply of water. Well drained soils, well supplied with
organic matter are required.
Red peppers do not mature on cultivars such as "super set"
until late August. In the field crops are generally are highly
variable in yield from year to year.10,000 kg per hectare is thought
to be a good field yield. In tunnel houses yields of 4.5 kg per
square meter have been obtained.(45,000 kg per hectare)
NUTRIENT CONTENT:
Excellent source of vitamin C. Good source of other vitamins
and minerals including potassium. Low in calories - one medium
raw pepper contains about 15 kilo calories. Pepper can do the main
course, also can be used to side dishes or soup can also be
used as pharmaceutical raw materials.
