Weather: The growth of chilli plants is favorable in hot and dry weather. Good production is achieved under these conditions. The cultivation of chillies occurs during the summer, winter, and monsoon seasons. During the monsoon, excessive rainfall leads to more flower dropping. The growth of these plants is good at temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. The differences in temperature during the growing season significantly affect flower dropping.

Soil: Chillies yield very well in soils with low to medium water retention. Even if organic fertilizers have been used in light soils, the yield of chillies is good. Chillies should not be cultivated in areas with poor water retention. Chillies also yield well in sandy soils.

Crop Rotation: It is recommended to practice crop rotation for chilli cultivation. The recommended row spacing for chilli cultivation is 50 cm. The recommended row spacing is 35 cm. The recommended inter-row spacing is 60 cm. From the inter-row spacing, 45 cm is used for removing chilli plants.

Major Agricultural Seasons: Chilli cultivation can be done during the summer, winter, and monsoon seasons. Fertilizer and pesticides should be applied according to each agricultural season.

Irrigation: The land should be well-drained and moderately heavy for chilli cultivation. The use of appropriate nutrient fertilizers in light soils results in good chilli yield.

Cultivation: Chilli Kharif cultivation should be done in the months of June and July. However, Rabi chilli cultivation should be done in the months of January and February.

For rain-fed chilli cultivation, prepare flat ridges, while for irrigated cultivation, prepare raised ridges. To prepare raised ridges, plow the land and level it. Mix 20 to 22 tons of well-decomposed farmyard manure per hectare into the soil. Then, prepare ridges of twenty feet in length and four feet in height. Each ridge should be mixed with thirty kilograms of well-decomposed farmyard manure and half a kilogram of sulfur.

For sowing, prepare parallel furrows at a distance of 8 to 10 cm on the ridges. Place 15 grams of 10% Fenitrothion per kilogram of ridges and cover it with soil. After this, sow the seeds at a depth of 2 cm in the furrows and cover them with soil. Water the seeds daily until germination. Within 30 to 40 days after sowing, the ridges are ready for cultivation.

Water Management: Provide water to chilli plants according to the land type. Avoid giving excessive or insufficient water. Provide water when the plants are flowering and fruiting. After planting, allow a jam to form on the field for 10 days. During this period, water the field every other day. After planting, continue to provide water every 30 to 40 days until the plants are fully grown. In winter, water the plants every 10 to 15 days, while in summer, water them every 6 to 7 days.

Fertilizer Management: The growth of chilli plants is robust when fertilizers are provided. For the cultivation of chillies, 50 kilograms of nitrogen, 50 kilograms of phosphorus, and 50 kilograms of potash per hectare are required. For irrigated chilli cultivation, 100 kilograms of nitrogen, 50 kilograms of phosphorus, and 50 kilograms of potash are needed per hectare. The complete amount of phosphorus and potash and half the amount of nitrogen should be applied at the time of ridge preparation, while the remaining half of the nitrogen should be applied 30 days after plantation.
