How to plant lotus root with high yield

Although the lotus root has been planted for a long time, the yield is still very high, so how can the lotus root be planted to produce high yield?

First, how to plant lotus root for high yield?

1. The early stage of standing leaf

We can see that the edge of the lotus root is getting longer and the leaves are getting bigger and bigger. if we want to maintain the trend of growing lotus root and get more roots, we should start to fertilize the lotus root pond on a large scale.

Fertilizer application: we usually apply fertilizer by throwing fertilizer directly into the lotus root pond. Generally put in organic fertilizer: 2000 jin, urea: 30-160kg or so, potassium sulfate fertilizer about 20jin.

2. Leaf spreading period

The lotus root in the leaf expansion stage has seen a large number of extended leaves, at this time the demand for fertilizer is still very high, so we need to top fertilizer again.

Fertilizer amount: in general, urea is the biggest demand for lotus root in leaf expansion period, and the amount of fertilizer application is about 20-30 jin / mu.

3. Deal with sundries and forage

In order to better ensure the ventilation of the pond and prevent it from having a great impact on the growth and germination of lotus root, we should often remove duckweed, moss, sponges and other plants in the water that can easily affect the oxygen content in the pond. so fishing nets should be used to catch ponds every day.

4. Diseases and insect pests

The most frequent occurrence of diseases and insect pests in ponds is Fusarium wilt, which is the most likely to cause damage to lotus roots, but also the highest incidence of diseases, usually caused by rot mold. At this time, we have to regularly use the new high-fat membrane for antivirus work.

Planting lotus root can produce high yield if you do well at the above 4 points.
