Plant ash storage fresh pepper technology

The storage of fresh peppers in plant ash has the advantages of simple equipment, easy operation, long shelf life, etc. Its preservation effect is better than mud and sand, and grain ash, which is a good value-added method. The specific technical points of operation are as follows: 1 The venues for selecting fresh peppers should be stored in a clean, dry and ventilated place, especially indoors. 2 Prepare grass ash for storage of fresh peppers in grass ash. Must have less impurities and no large particles of sand and gravel. Prepare ready-to-use plant ash in a dry place to avoid agglomerating with moisture. 3 The fresh peppers used for fresh pepper selection should be moderately tender and tender, with a firm texture, complete fruit shape, no pests and diseases, and no damage. The skin color is dark green and shiny. To harvest before frost and dry dew, so as not to bring water to cause rot. 4 Storage method In the selected site, use bricks to grow 1.5m (m), each box with a width and height of 1m (m), or a height of 1m (meters) and a diameter of 1m-1.5m (m). Baskets can also be piled directly on the ground for large piles of peppers. No matter which method is used, first lay 10cm (cm) thick ash on the ground and on the bottom of the basket. Place a layer of fresh pepper on the gray layer. Do not overlap. Then a fresh layer of vegetation and a layer of fresh pepper, repeatedly stacked around 1m (m) high, and finally covered with grass bags and sack protection at the top. Stored in baskets, 8cm-10cm (centimeters) around the basket should not be placed in order to fill the grass and ash against the spring insulation, requiring plant ash to fill the gap between fresh peppers. 5 The focus of safekeeping is to regulate the indoor temperature and humidity. The suitable temperature for the pepper during storage is 5°C-10°C and the relative humidity is 80%-85%. When the temperature is high, the doors and windows are opened for cooling; when the temperature is low, insulation measures are taken. If the humidity is too high, you should open the doors and windows or sprinkle wood ash on the ground around the storage site. If the humidity is not enough, water may be sprayed on the top turf, sacks, or fields so as to prevent dripping. Every 10d-15d (days) sampling 1 time, found that bad pepper should be promptly removed. China Agricultural Network Editor
