Soil Requirement
Soil requirement
Chilli is grown in many types of soils rich in organic matter sandy to heavy clay. A well- drained, fairly light fertile loam with a fair moisture-holding capacity is ideal. Poor and medium quality land produces good early crop, if managed properly. Heavy soil is not suitable for raising the rainy season crop. Water stagnation prevailing for more than 24 hr leads to the death of chilli plants. The light soils produce better quality fruits than heavy soils. Chilli crop prefers a soil reaction ranging from pH 6-7 and it is sensitive to acidic soils below pH 5.0. However, it is grown on soils of pH 5 in coastal areas to pH 9 in vertisols in India. So liming is beneficial in acidic soils. The rain-fed crop does well on deep, fertile, well-drained black cotton soils. In ill-drained soils, the plants shed their leaves and turn sickly even with temporary water-logging for a period of 48 hours. The crop grown on heavier soils suffers from blossom-end rot. Sikkim soil is of lower PH therefore, it is recommended to add 200 gm/m2 dolomite to get good crop.
