Chives are not delicious in summer, but field management must be properly managed to have good leeks in autumn.

When it comes to leeks, I think of the dumplings filled with leeks. I also planted a small piece of leeks at home. The leeks are not only delicious, but also look good, with clusters of green. However, when the temperature rises in the old summer, the management of leeks is very important. Here, I would like to share with you some points for attention in summer leek management.

Chinese chives taste bad in summer.

Careful friends will find that there are very few leeks in the summer market, even if they sell leeks, the taste of leeks is far less delicious than spring leeks. Because leek after several crops of spring harvest, a lot of nutrients consumption, and summer leek fiber increased, the taste is not very good. However, summer is an important period of leek management, poor management will not only affect the yield of leek in autumn, but also affect the growth life of leek.

Reduce harvesting

In summer, because of the high temperature, the leek leaves grow faster, and the nutrients will be insufficient, which leads to the increase of fiber, rough leaves and lodging of the plants. At this time, it is best to reduce the number of harvest, it is best not to harvest, let the leek root, so that the leek can have a good harvest in autumn, and reduce the nutrient loss of leek, avoid the life span of leek is shortened.

Weed

Summer is the peak season for the growth of weeds, so although chives should stop harvesting, the work of weeding in the field can not be ignored. It is found that weeds should be cleaned in time to avoid weeds in the fields, soil nutrient loss and affect the growth of leeks. If it's an old leek field, you'd better start weeding in spring.

Pick flowers in time

Leek grows flower moss in summer, and leek moss consumes leek nutrients very much, which affects the growth of leek in autumn, so when leek appears flower moss, it must be removed in time to avoid nutrient loss.

Pest control

Summer leek is very easy to give birth to leek maggots, leek maggots can be said to be the biggest headache for leek growers, the traditional method is generally to use pesticides to fill roots, but there will be a lot of pesticide residues. The method of high temperature plastic film is recommended here. Because leek maggots are not resistant to high temperature. Can be carried out in the summer when the temperature is the highest, if the leek growth is weak, you can consider not to cut the leek, if the leek is more exuberant, it is best to remove it to avoid leek leaves affecting the light. It is best to keep plastic film mulching for three hours a day, because three hours of high temperature can kill leek maggots and gone eggs. It can be done for a week in a row.

Fusarium wilt

High temperature in summer is more than Rain Water, leek is prone to wilt, leek leaves are yellow. For this situation, it is necessary to clean up the diseased leaves in time, keep the field drainage unobstructed, ventilation between plants, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

The above comes from promoting agriculture through science.
