Abstract

This study mainly focuses on the effects of different fertilization methods on the pungency and disease resistance of Hangjiao pepper under organic cultivation conditions. It introduces the generation process of capsaicin, explains the disease resistance mode of Hangjiao pepper, analyzes the relationship between nutrient supply and secondary metabolites, compares the nutrient release characteristics and effects on soil microorganisms of several organic fertilizers and their combined use The regulatory effects of fertilization timing, frequency and environmental conditions on the pungency and disease resistance of Hangjiao pepper were also evaluated, and it was explored whether high pungency and strong disease resistance could occur simultaneously and the possible balance between them. This study aims to provide theoretical support and practical reference for achieving high yield, good quality and strong disease resistance of Hangjiao pepper in organic cultivation.
