How to manage the latest spring chives

Leek is a very common vegetable and can be harvested many times a year. Usually we mainly use leek to make scrambled eggs with leek, of course, we can often see the figure of leek on the barbecue stand. Leek is usually planted in March every year, so how can we manage it in spring after planting? Let's take a look at the materials compiled by the editor.

1. The first application of organic fertilizer

After the leek is planted, we should first use organic fertilizer. It is reasonable to use organic fertilizer, which will help to increase the yield of leek. And the organic fertilizer used by leek is generally cake fertilizer and mature farm manure and so on, ditch application, ditch depth of 20 cm, spread fertilizer evenly in the ditch, and then cover it with soil, of course, it is best to cover it with a layer of fine sand and water, which can prevent the phenomenon of ventilation after fertilization and affect the absorption of nutrients by leeks.

2. Ploughing and weeding

After the leek turns green, we should carry on the ploughing in time, remove the weeds in the field, use the way of ploughing, and sort out the ridges of the planting land to promote the better growth of leek. When weeding, loosen the soil reasonably, which can not only increase the surface temperature, but also improve the soil permeability, promote the absorption of nutrients and promote the growth of leek.

3. Fertilizer and water management

In order to make the leek grow better, topdressing and watering should be carried out reasonably. The frequency of watering should be based on the demand of leeks and local rainfall, while topdressing only needs to be determined according to the growth needs of leeks. In general, the leek is topdressing after each harvest, the number of topdressing is usually twice, about three days after harvest, mainly with feces and urine or nitrogen fertilizer. It should be noted that fertilizer should not be applied immediately after harvest, otherwise fertilizer damage will occur and the yield of leek will be affected.

4. Pick root and cultivate soil

Root picking and soil cultivation are generally a management work for leeks that are three or more years old. Root removal is usually carried out before the leek sprouts, first of all, the root of the leek needs to be dug loose, then the soil in each hole is removed, the rhizome is exposed, the withered, dead and weak roots are removed, and finally the rest are sorted into a new plant and planted in the soil. On the other hand, soil cultivation should be carried out before the sprouting of new roots, and the thickness of soil should be about three or four centimeters a year.

The above is the spring field management technology of leek sorted out by the editor. I hope I can help you. If you are interested, you can follow us and get more information about leek cultivation.
