Chilli farming in Guntur
Chilli growers lose most income to flower drop, fruit drop and leaf curl, all of which respond to timely micronutrient and bio stimulant care. In Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, the soil is black cotton (regur) soils. Black soils hold moisture well, but zinc and boron availability is often low in high-pH patches, so micronutrient sprays tend to pay off.
Other crops grown around Guntur include cotton, paddy and turmeric, so plan sprays crop by crop rather than one schedule for the whole farm.
Two problems Guntur growers keep an eye on in chilli are flower and fruit drop and leaf curl with thrips and mites. Boron and trace-element gaps combine with heat and moisture swings to drop flowers.
