Capsicums are also known as bell peppers, banana capsicums, sweet peppers, red peppers, red bell peppers, red capsicums, banana capsicums, simla mirch and bhopli mirchi. In one plant, 5 to 7 kg of red capsicum can be grown. The natural sugars in the red capsicum give it sweetness, even though it has low sugar content in nature. Red capsicum plants are about 2 to 3 feet tall when fully grown.

Benefits and uses of Red Capsicum
• Red capsicums are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, fiber, B6, carotenoids and folate.
• Red capsicum decreases heart disease risk by reducing cholesterol and helps lower homocysteine levels.

Planting and Care for Red Capsicum
• Digging out the soil and adding organic fertilizer and manure in the proportions of 50 percent soil, 20 percent peat moss, or 30 percent vermicompost is the first step before sowing the green capsicum crop. Mix the mixture thoroughly and then water the soil.
• There should be no excessive rainfall or humidity in the region.
• The pH level of the soil should be between 6 and 7.
• In columns, the spacing between red capsicum plants should be 18 to 24 inches or 45 to 61 cm apart and in rows, the spacing should be 24 to 36 inches or 61 to 91 cm apart.

Sowing Red Capsicum Seeds
• Cover the seed surface with soil after spreading the red capsicum seeds over it.
• Because the red capsicum seeds are very small, avoid seeding very deeply.
• Keep sprinkling water on it at least three times a week in the evening.
• Red capsicum seeds can be planted at any time during the year.

Growing Red Capsicum
• Sprinkle water over the red capsicum seeds after they have been sown to keep the seeds from drying out.
• The seeds will germinate within a week or ten days and tiny sprouts will appear.
• Only after the seedlings have reached a certain size should they be transplanted to other grow bags.
• Until transplanting, make sure the developing bed or land is well-watered.
• After 20 days, feed the red capsicum plants with the proper amount and timing of organic manure vermicompost and fertilizer. Red capsicum thrives in a wide range of temperatures.

Harvesting Red Capsicum
• Red capsicum is harvested 55 to 60 days after transplanting the plant from one grow bag to another.  
• Capsicum should be harvested first thing in the morning.
• The smooth and firm appearance of the capsicum fruit is a sign of fruit maturity.
• Following the harvesting of the plant's berries, the residue in the surrounding area should be swept.
• Each variety of capsicum plant yields a different amount of fruit.
• Until grading, the fruits are picked and thoroughly cleaned with a soft cloth after harvesting.

Precautions while Growing Red Capsicum
• Always be on the lookout for the first signs of an insect or fungal attack, as well as any other infections. 
• As soon as any signs of such diseases are noticed, appropriate medicines should be sprayed on the plant.
• There should be no strong winds in the region. Low-lying areas, rivers and streams should be avoided. 
• The soil should be extremely porous, with a salinity of no more than 1 ms/cm.

Common Problems Affecting Red Capsicum Plants and Solutions
• Pest and insect attacks can be avoided by providing a sufficient supply of water and manure to the soil in the necessary amounts, as well as good microbial treatment.
• Over the summer, Red capsicum plants should be irrigated with freshwater, which is supplied at the edges of the growing bed to compensate for water loss due to evaporation.
• Aphids, thrips, whitefly, fruit borer, nematode, mites and other pests are the most common pests of red capsicum plants. 
• Damping-off, powdery mildew, cercospora leaf spot, phytophthora and other viral diseases are common diseases found on these plants. 
• Pests and diseases around the greenhouse could be controlled with carefully selected chemical pesticides or insecticides.
• Physiological defects in the plant's fruit include blossom-end rot, sunscald, fruit splits, fruit splitting, fruit spots, misshapen fruit and internal growth in the fruit. Both of these problems can be avoided by creating the best possible growing environment, adequately watering the plants and preventing waterlogging in the roots of the red capsicum plant. For fungal infections, plants should be treated with Trichoderma Viride Bio Fertilizer and Pseudomonas Fluorescens Bio Fertilizer.
