Xinwei Red Chili Peppers

　　Red chili peppers are one of the specialties of Guanyang, also known as upright red chili peppers, with shiny fruits and high quality. The red chili peppers from Xinwei Township are characterized by their thick flesh, spicy aroma, crispy skin, and delicious taste. In addition to being used as fresh vegetables, they serve as premium raw materials for making chili powder, chili sauce, pickled chili, and other processed products, and are widely loved by both urban and rural residents. It is an excellent chili variety with wide culinary uses, high value, and good economic benefits.

　　Red chili peppers are one of the main cash crops in Xinwei Township, Guanyang County, and also a primary source of income for local farmers. By the end of May, Xinwei Township had completed the transplantation of over 5,000 acres of chili peppers. Due to recent frequent rainfall and high temperatures, diseases such as chili pepper blight are prone to occur. Therefore, strengthening early-stage crop management has become an urgent priority.

　　To effectively carry out early-stage chili pepper management, in recent days, agricultural technicians in the township have braved the scorching sun, going deep into villages and fields to enhance technical training and guidance for growers. Farmers are advised to scientifically manage water and fertilizer after transplanting, and to prioritize prevention in controlling chili pepper diseases, laying a solid foundation for early fruiting and abundant yields.
