The latest harvesting method of lotus root

Lotus root is a kind of aquatic vegetable, and its planting area is very large in China. When we plant lotus roots, we should not only do a good job of management. When it is ripe, we must do a good job in harvesting lotus roots, because lotus roots are easily broken, and they are also divided into shallow water and deep water lotus roots. Therefore, lotus root harvesting work is very, very important, so how should lotus root be harvested? Let's take a look at the harvesting method of lotus root together with Xiaobian!

1. Determine the position of lotus root

When we harvest lotus roots, we must first determine the growth of lotus roots, so as to ensure better harvest lotus roots. To find the position of lotus root, we first need to find the rear leaf and terminal leaf of lotus root. The front of the line connecting the two leaves is basically the position of lotus root. However, because the underground part of lotus root plant is more complicated, sometimes it is impossible to determine which specific leaf is connected to the terminal leaf. At this time we can remove these two kinds of leaves, then insert the petiole into the water, and then blow on the petiole vent.

After blowing, if the petiole inserted into the water bubbles, then it means that the two leaves are connected. It also means that it grows on the same underground stem and is in a straight line, so it can basically determine the position of lotus root. After entering winter, the aboveground part of lotus root has basically withered, and the petiole has also dried up, basically leaving only some short terminal leaves with certain flexibility. At this time, you can basically know the position of the lotus root by lifting it with your hand.

2. Harvesting method of lotus root in shallow water

The harvesting method of shallow water lotus root is relatively simple. It can be harvested directly in water or drained before harvesting. This is simpler. When harvesting, we can dig up the soil around the lotus root according to the position of the lotus root, then break the lotus rhizome down along the leaves of the lotus root, and then drag out the whole lotus root directly. If the soil is relatively dry, then pay attention to digging up the dry soil layer by layer first, pay attention not to hurt the lotus root, and then dig out the whole lotus root directly.

3. Deep water lotus harvesting method

After the lotus root begins to yellow and dry and the lotus body matures, deep water lotus roots can be harvested. Deep water lotus drainage work is generally difficult to carry out, so most of them are mainly water harvesting. Also in the harvest to determine the position of lotus roots, and then use feet to determine the position of lotus roots. When you feel the lotus root position, use your feet to kick off the soil on both sides of the lotus root. Then from the position of the lotus root petiole, from the outside will be broken lotus root, and then grab the lotus root after the handle, the other hand to support the middle of the lotus root, gently pull out the lotus root until the water surface.

The above is a simple introduction to the lotus harvesting method. Today's introduction is here, this article is for reference only, I hope to be able to help everyone!
