How to store water chestnut (horseshoe) after harvest?

Water chestnuts are planted all over our country, which can be eaten raw or cooked, and the planting technology of water chestnuts is relatively simple, strong growth ability and high yield, so sometimes they can not all be listed on the market after harvest, so they need to be stored, otherwise they are very easy to rot and affect the planting benefits. so how to store water chestnuts (horseshoes) after harvest?

1. Pottery jar storage

After harvest, the water chestnut should be laid flat on the dry ground for about half a month, and then when it is properly dried, the water chestnut should be placed in the pottery tank. The storage capacity of each pottery tank should not exceed 90kg. Cover the cylinder mouth after storage, but it should not be covered in the early stage to promote ventilation and ventilation. If the temperature is low, then cover a layer of straw to do heat preservation treatment. On the other hand, in cloudy and rainy weather, it is necessary to remove the cover and remove moisture, and it is necessary to turn over and check once a month or so, and abnormal situations occur in time.

Cellar storage

Before putting the water chestnut into the cellar, first spray carbendazim and other disinfectant in the cellar to disinfect, then spread a layer of fine soil on the ground, and then put the water chestnut flat on the fine soil, keeping its height around 22cm, and then cover it with a layer of fine soil, so that it can be recycled until the water chestnut is finished, but pay attention to keeping its height at about 20cm from the cellar, and cover it with dry soil for filling treatment. Then seal the surroundings with soil to form a steamed stuffed bun shape, and then press it compactly.

Third, fine sand storage

After harvesting water chestnuts, in a cool and dry environment, pile up a burial pit, and then put the fine sand around 6cm at the bottom of the pit, and then put the water chestnuts on the fine sand in order, covering a layer of fine sand, and then place the water chestnut bulbs, so that the fine sand is not strong enough, so its stacking height should not exceed 1m, and its storage effect is also very good.

IV. Solution storage

After harvesting, water chestnuts should be cleaned, removed impurities on the bulb, and stored in hypochlorite solution. The storability of hypochlorite solution is very high. Professional data investigation shows that when using hypochlorite solution for storage, when the temperature is about 1 degree and the humidity is about 95%, the fresh-keeping time of water chestnut can be as long as 10 months, and when the temperature is 5 degrees, the storage time is about half a year.

5. Stacking and storage

Stacking and storage is a traditional storage method in our country, first of all, we should choose a cool and dry indoor ground, and its area is determined according to the storage quantity, then spread a layer of dry soil on the ground, and then make a fence with things with strong permeability as far as possible, and then put a layer of water chestnut into a layer of fine soil, so that it can be recycled, although it is relatively simple to operate, but its storability is relatively low, and it is prone to problems.

The above is the introduction of the storage method of water chestnut after harvest by Tuliu. there are many kinds of water chestnut storage methods, which should be reasonably selected according to the actual situation, region and technology.
