Hello everyone.

I am @kuhinoor from Bangladesh

how are you all friends? I hope Allah is good in His mercy, pray for me. Today I am going to participate in the Nature and Agriculture Community's "Contest: What I would Cultivate If given a free land" contest. Thanks @lhorgic bro for organizing such a nice contest.

Let's start then.

• What's would you cultivate if given a large expanse of land?

Agriculture is the life of my country. The economy of our country depends on agriculture. Growing vegetables and fruits is my hobby. I will grow chillies if I get a large land. Chilli yield is abundant and farmers can easily benefit. The yield of raw chillies is very high in our country. I have planted several types of pepper plants in my yard. I put them on like a hobby. It has a lot of chili. Food needs of the family are met. At present there are many chillies in BangladeshPrice, we don't have to buy pepper despite the price. We have 4 types of pepper plants in our house, all of them have not grown yet. If I have land, I will plant pepper seedlings and try to earn money by selling them. Peppers can be eaten raw, and ripe peppers can be dried and stored in the sun. Dry chili powder can be eaten again.

• Why did you choose that particular plant/crop?

Chilli is a cash crop in our country. It has a huge demand. It contains more vitamins that boost our immune system.
Chili is a spicy food. It is in great demand in our country. Money can be earned by selling chillies. And there is a lot to be gained in chili. At present there is a lot of profit in green chillies. Bombay Chilli, Baria Chilli, Paradi Chilli, Black Chilli, Small Chilli, Big Chilli, Dhani Chilli etc. There is considerable demand for this pepper in our country. Peppers and cooking test a lot.

How long will it take to mature and harvest?

Peppers are stored for 15-20 days after flowering. Can be stored 5-7 times from one tree. But if Bombay pepper comes throughout the year, this type of pepper is more common in the backyard. When the green chilies are red in color, they can be picked and dried in the sun and stored. The yield per hectare is 10-12 tonnes of green chillies and 1.5-2.0 tonnes of dry chillies. It takes 4-5 days to store chillies by sun drying. Chillies can be harvested both raw and ripe.

Harmful insects cause crop diseases. Fruits are destroyed by insect attack. It is possible to protect crops from insect attack by consuming specific amount of medicine at right time and according to rules.

**Below are detailed descriptions of pest and disease symptoms and remedies.

Abandoned part of the crop should be destroyed. And fungicides should be applied.

2- Fruit borer **

The insect is attracted to night light. As a result of this insect piercing pepper, the price of pepper in the market is low. This insect causes the most damage to pepper.

Chilli is really a very good choice crop if you ask me, and of course it good for both subsistence and commercial purpose. Thanks for participating. I wish you the very best in this contest.
