Chili cultivation can be done well and profitably if you apply a number of appropriate techniques and methods. The following are the techniques and methods for cultivating chilies explained from start to harvest.
This plant can be classified as a vegetable or spice, depending on its use. However, its use as a food flavor enhancer is much more popular in Southeast Asia, so chili cultivation is increasingly being increased.
The high selling value of chilies makes it one of the vegetable commodities that is widely cultivated. Chili is not only used as a flavor enhancer, but is also beneficial for health because of its high antioxidant content and is good for protecting the body from free radicals. Apart from that, chilies also contain high levels of vitamin C. However, using too much chili can cause stomach problems so its use needs to be limited.
In the chili cultivation cycle, the lowlands have a shorter time than the highlands. Chilies planted in the lowlands can be harvested for the first time after the chilies are 70-75 days old, while chilies planted in the highlands can only be harvested for the first time after the chilies are 4-5 months old. After that, harvesting can be done every 3-4 days regularly.
