This is the first stage of the chilli crop. Seeds germinate and develop into small seedlings. During this stage, roots begin to grow and the first leaves appear. A healthy seedling develops into a strong plant. Proper soil moisture and protection are very important at this stage.
Main Activities (ఈ దశలో జరిగేవి):
Seed germination
Root development
First leaves appear
Healthy seedling formation
Why is this stage important? (ఈ దశ ఎందుకు ముఖ్యమైనది?)
This is the foundation stage of the crop. Healthy seedlings develop into strong plants. Good root growth and healthy soil are very important during this stage.
