Key points of leek management in the latest summer high temperature period

Leek is our common vegetable, which is grown in almost every household in rural areas, and it is also a common delicacy in the barbecue industry. But leek is the worst in summer, because the high temperature climate in summer leads to less nutrition accumulation and high consumption for growth, which leads to the increase of fiber in leaf tissue, which makes it rough and leads to the decline of taste. So should it be managed in the summer so that its taste will not decline? Let's take a look at the pro-farm network.

1. Stop harvesting

In the period of high temperature in summer, the taste of leek will become worse because of less nutrition accumulation, large nutrient consumption and more fiber in leaf tissue, so it is generally necessary to stop harvesting at this time, the specific time is from June to August. And after the leek enters the high temperature period, it will appear the resting phenomenon, thus stop growing, at this time, if the harvest, it will lead to after the summer, the growth and yield of leek will have a certain impact.

2. Weeding

High temperature in summer, the consumption of leek itself is large, if a large number of weeds grow in the field at this time, it will seize nutrients and water with leek, making the growth of leek more disadvantageous. So timely weeding at this time is conducive to the growth of leeks, in addition, weeding can also be appropriate topdressing, supply leek growth needs, in the folk often add a handful of cooked soybeans in the roots of leeks, better than fertilization, but also more green than fertilizer.

3. Lodging prevention

It is high temperature and rainy in summer, and the leek that has been growing for more than two years, if the measures are not harvested, will lead to the height of the leek plant, which will lead to lodging, poor permeability and disease. Therefore, in order to prevent the leek from lodging, reduce the disease and make it grow smoothly, it is necessary to build a frame for it.

4. Pick bolts in time

In the period of high temperature and drought in summer, leek is easy to bolt. if the leek moss is not removed in time, it will consume a lot of nutrients when growing. Therefore, the timely removal of the tender bolting of leek can avoid consuming a lot of nutrients and cultivate strong plants, and the taste of the tender bolting is still good, which can be eaten on its own after sale.

5. Diseases and insect pests

High temperature and heavy rain in summer, this environment can easily lead to leek Fusarium wilt and pests, leading to leaf wilt and death, affecting the future growth and yield. Therefore, more attention must be paid to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. Fusarium wilt can be controlled by root irrigation with more than 50% carbendazim. At the same time, after the rainstorm season, timely drainage and waterlogging prevention, removal of diseased leaves or yellow leaves, maintain permeability, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

The above are the key points of leek management in summer high temperature brought by pro-agricultural network. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about leek planting technology, please pay attention to pro-agricultural network.
