Key points of field management of the latest ice vegetables

Ice vegetable is one of the most popular characteristic vegetables in China recently, which originated in Africa and then introduced into China. The appearance of ice vegetables has great characteristics, flowers and leaves are relatively strange, but bright colors, and the surface of the stems and leaves will bulge vesicles, similar to ice grains. And it also has rich nutritional value, and now it has been planted in our country. So how to manage the cultivation of ice vegetables? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Soil management

The suitable cultivation methods of ice vegetables are open field, facilities and so on, basically all cultivation methods can be used to cultivate ice vegetables. Ice vegetables in the growth, the absorption of heavy metals is very strong, so to avoid soil pollution, regular soil preparation disinfection. If it is contaminated by heavy metals, the soil should be changed in time. Because ice vegetables grow better on soils with good drainage, we have to plough regularly to improve the permeability of the soil. If the weak drainage and irrigation capacity leads to stagnant water in the soil, it will have a great impact on the growth of ice vegetables.

2. Water and fertilizer management

After the seedlings are fixed, the amount of water should be reduced properly, and there is usually no watering within 10 days after planting. And only when the leaves are found to be withered after planting ice vegetables can they be watered thoroughly at once, but not more. Promoting the formation of ice crystals on leaves can effectively improve the value of ice vegetables. If it is overwatered, less ice crystals will be formed and the nutritious taste will decline. Then before planting, we should apply sufficient base fertilizer, and do a good job of topdressing according to the growth of ice cabbage.

3. Lighting control

Light is very important for the growth of ice vegetables. Ice vegetables like light, like to grow in places with plenty of light, ice vegetables in the growth process, to ensure the temperature at the same time, so that ice vegetables can see as much light as possible. It will be of great help to its output and quality. In addition to light, we also need to control the temperature, ice vegetables can survive in the environment of-5-30 degrees. However, the optimum temperature for growth should not be lower than 5 degrees and not higher than 30 degrees. If it is lower than 5 degrees, it will continue to grow, but it will also wither. When the summer temperature is high, then it should be properly shaded to cool down, if it is facility cultivation, then it should be ventilated in time.

4. Disease and pest control

The disease resistance of diseases and insects is relatively strong, so the occurrence of diseases is relatively less. It is mainly threatened by pests, such as aphids, beetles and so on. If we want to achieve the goal of high-yield and high-quality cultivation, then first of all, we must give priority to prevention. Reduce the use of pesticides and reduce the use of pesticides in the field. Then set up anti-insect nets and trapping boards around for prevention and control. However, it should be noted that in planting, we must pay attention to doing a good job of ventilation, cooling and humidity, so as to avoid some new diseases of fungi and bacteria caused by too high temperature and humidity.

The above is a brief introduction to the key points of field management of ice vegetables. The field management of iced vegetables is very important, especially the basic work such as temperature, water and fertilizer, etc., should not be too extensive management, otherwise it is easy to reduce production. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
