Water celery pond planting technology, ecological floating bed planting water celery

The floating bed base is made of bamboo, polyethylene foam is placed in the enclosed area, and the planting basket is put into the hole after uniform drilling according to the hole spacing; high-quality non-water-saving celery is selected, and the sundries and top tips are removed 10-15 days before planting, then tied up with straw, forked in a cool place, covered with straw and watered twice a day, it will take root and sprout in about a week. Put the seed stem in the floating bed planting basket in fertile water, cloudy days or weak sunshine, and do a good job of water quality management and topdressing.

Water celery is planted in ponds, that is, on the surface of the water, which is a way to grow water celery using ecological floating beds.

1. Floating bed setting

Bamboo with a diameter of 8-12cm was used to make a floating bed rectangular base with a length of 1.5-2m and a width of 0.8m-1.2m. Polyethylene foam was fixed in the enclosed area of the rectangular base, and then the polyethylene foam was uniformly punched according to the pore spacing of 15-30cm. The pore diameter was controlled at about 25-30cm, and the planting basket with planting substrate was put into the hole.

2. Seed selection

The non-water-saving celery varieties with strong high temperature tolerance and excellent varieties were selected.

3. Accelerating budding

Sprouting the seeds 7 days before planting, select the stalks that are 0.8-1.2cm thick, 0.8-1.2 m long, with the same thickness, close internodes and no insect pests, remove the sundries above them, cut off the top tip, tie them into round bundles of 20-30cm thick with straw, staggered and stacked in a shady place, covered with straw, and watered mountain springs once every morning and afternoon to keep moist. Generally 7-9 days later, the leaf axils of each node will grow 1-2cm buds and complete rooting, which can be planted at this time.

4. Planting

10-15 days before planting water celery, sprinkle organic fertilizer into the pond and choose cloudy or sunny weather to plant water celery seed stems in the substrate.

5. Water quality management

After planting the stem of water celery, sprinkle lime paste into the king pond every 15-20 days; after planting for 30-35 days, sprinkle zeolite and Bacillus subtilis into the pond to regulate the water quality and promote the growth and development of water celery.

6. Topdressing

Top dressing of water celery can be carried out after 5-10 days of planting, and it can be applied according to 10-16kg/ mu of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, 5-10kg/ mu of silicon fertilizer and 5-10kg/ mu of cake fertilizer for the first time, and then topdressing every 15-20 days, a total of 3 times before harvesting.

7. Timely harvest

When the height of water celery is above 20cm, it can be harvested in batches.
