What is the difference between deep water lotus root and shallow water lotus root?

What is the difference between deep water lotus root and shallow water lotus root? The difference between deep-water lotus root and shallow-water lotus root can be divided into two ecological types: shallow-water lotus root and deep-water lotus root according to its adaptability to water level. Shallow lotus root is suitable for water level of 10-20 cm, and the maximum water-resistant depth is 30-50 cm. Deep-water lotus root is suitable for water level of 30-50 cm, and the maximum water-resistant depth is 1-1.2 m. The general principle of shallow lotus root water layer management is: front shallow, middle deep, back shallow. During the sprouting period from planting lotus root to the emergence of standing leaves, shallow water should be kept in order to increase soil temperature and promote germination. Generally speaking, it is better to keep the water layer 4-7 cm deep. With the emergence of standing leaves, the growth of lotus root stems and leaves gradually flourish, and the water layer should gradually rise to 12-15 cm. When the terminating leaf appears, it indicates that the lotus root begins to form, and the water layer should be gradually reduced to 4-7 cm to promote lotus root formation. The water level of deep-water lotus root is not easy to adjust, mainly to prevent flooding in the flood season, especially after the standing leaves are submerged, emergency drainage should be made within 8 hours to make the lotus leaves out of the water to prevent drowning.
