Field management of cauliflower

Cauliflower, also known as cauliflower, is a plant belonging to the cruciferous family. It originated in Europe and was gradually introduced into China in the 19th century. Cauliflower is very popular in China, with sweet taste, delicious taste and high medicinal value. Its nutritional richness is among the best among many vegetables. Now there are a lot of people growing cauliflower, but many people don't know how to manage it. Here's how to manage cauliflower in the field. Let's have a look!

1. Water management

Cauliflower plants are taller than ordinary vegetables, so the demand for water in the growth process is relatively large, when sowing seedlings, it is necessary to properly water the seedlings. Keep the soil moist, but pay attention to the amount of water and prevent stagnant water in the fields, so as to promote the root of cauliflower. It is necessary to ensure that the field drainage ditch is in a smooth state at all times in order to cope with the sudden rainstorm and can be drained in time. At the rosette and flowering stage of cauliflower, cauliflower needs the most water, so make sure there is enough water. It should be noted that when watering, flood irrigation should not be used to prevent root rot.

2. Reasonable topdressing

As mentioned earlier, cauliflower has a larger plant, so it not only needs a lot of water, but also has a high demand for fertilizer. Like water demand, the amount of fertilizer required will also increase during the rosette and flowering stages. in these two stages, we should increase the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer in fertilizer and promote the growth of cauliflower. During the peak growth period, we should also supplement enough trace elements to ensure comprehensive nutrition and prevent cauliflower from malnutrition. Then according to the growth of cauliflower reasonable topdressing, but we should pay attention to proper watering after topdressing to prevent burns caused by too high concentration.

3. Folded leaves to cover flowers

Cauliflower in the flowering period to the expansion period, we must do a good job of covering, if not covered in time, it will lead to bud growth hindered. The color is yellowish to purple, and in severe cases, yellow plush and new leaves will grow, resulting in a decline in quality. Therefore, when the cauliflower ball grows to the size of a fist, fold the leaves in time to cover the buds to prevent direct sunlight. If the leaves are insufficient, the inner leaves can be bound with straw, and the old leaves can be folded to cover the bouquet after the bulb appears.

4. Disease control

Diseases are likely to occur in the whole growth cycle of cauliflower, and different growth stages will produce different diseases and insect pests, and some diseases will occur in any growth stage. Diseases and insect pests will seriously threaten the yield and quality of cauliflower and affect the economic benefits of planting. Therefore, we must strengthen management, regularly disinfect the vegetable garden, remove the sick and disabled bodies in the vegetable garden, pull out the diseased plants, and prevent the disease from spreading. After the onset of the disease, the specific diseases and insect pests should be detected immediately, and then the corresponding chemicals should be used for spray control to reduce the affected area.

The above is a brief introduction to the field management technology of cauliflower, no matter what crops are planted, field management is very important. The quality of management is directly linked to the output of cauliflower, so when planting, we must not be lazy, to develop a management plan to avoid unnecessary losses.
