The first thing a farmer should check before going into capsicum farming is the market trend where they check what the market is offering in terms of pricing. When the farmer does their research of the market and finds its good, their next step should be soil analysis. They should check the pathology of the soil which includes soil pests and diseases and the soil nutrition. The next step is looking for the best seed varieties which include hybrid varieties, F1 varieties, GMO, and open pollinated varieties (OPV). After finding the variety they are going to work with, the next step is land preparation which involves deep ploughing and cultivation of furrows 80-100 cm apart.

The next step is looking for the best seed varieties which include hybrid varieties, F1 varieties, GMO, and open pollinated varieties (OPV). Next is land preparation which involves deep ploughing where the tractor turns the soil upside down to make sure the nutrients on the lower side are turned to the top. After ploughing, the farmer should then make the furrows which should be 80-100 cm from one another. The furrows are then blocked so that they can have a good water holding basin for better irrigation.
