How to grow chillies

1. Choose a variety for your market and altitude, from a registered seed supplier.
2. Raise seedlings in a clean nursery and harden them off.
3. Prepare well-drained land with compost or manure and avoid nightshade crops before.
4. Transplant in the evening, water and mulch.
5. Scout weekly for pests and disease, keep weeds down and harvest regularly.

Verify locally: figures, varieties and product choices differ by altitude, season and variety. Confirm with your county agricultural extension officer or KALRO before acting.
