Uses
Capsicum is commonly used for nerve pain and other painful conditions. It is also used for many other purposes, including digestion problems, conditions of the heart and blood vessels, and many others, but there is no good scientific evidence for many of these uses.
Soil Nutrient Requirements
Capsicums perform best in fertile free-draining soil so enrich the soil beforehand with aged manure, compost and/or a certified organic fertiliser. It's also important to boost calcium levels in the soil to help prevent blossom end rot later in the season.
Sowing Method
The fruits of sweet pepper are subjected to sunscald at high temperature and intense sunshine. Seeds are sown in raised beds under protected structures about 28 to 30 days before planting. The average seed rate is 250-300g/ha. Seeds are sown with a row spacing of 15 cm and seed spacing of 0.5cm.
