Causes of rotten bean sprouts and their solutions

Sprouts are one of the traditional vegetables that our people like to eat. Bean sprouts are the most common vegetables in our life. There are many varieties of bean sprouts, and bean sprouts will rot in the process of planting, which will cause huge losses to the output of bean sprouts. So how to solve the rotten bean sprouts? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction.

1. Bean seed carries germs.

Due to the lax selection of bean seeds before planting, bean seeds carrying pathogens were used. In the process of planting, these pathogens propagated rapidly in a suitable environment, resulting in the phenomenon of rotten bean sprouts.

Solution: to select bean seeds, select full particles, disease-free bean seeds, in seed soaking to select the removal of disease and insect grains, shrunken grains, broken grains and other inferior bean seeds. Then wash the seeds with low concentration of bleach and lime solution, or blanch the seeds with hot water, which can kill the bacteria on the surface of the bean seeds, improve the vitality of the bean seeds and improve the germination rate.

2. Container disinfection is not strict.

Like bean sprouts carrying pathogens, the containers used in cultivation are also more important. if there are no strict disinfection measures, the bacteria will invade during planting, resulting in rotten bean sprouts.

Solution: the cultivation container should go through strict disinfection measures. in addition to keeping the utensils and containers clean before planting, strict disinfection should be carried out before use, and low concentration bleach solution or alum solution should be used for cleaning and disinfection.

3. The temperature is too high or low.

The temperature of planting bean sprouts is the most important. If the temperature is too high or too low during the growth period of bean sprouts, it will lead to rotten sprouts.

Solution: the suitable temperature for the growth of bean sprouts is between 20 and 25 degrees. When sprouting after planting, the most suitable temperature is 18 degrees. After sprouting, the temperature should be raised to about 23 degrees. In this temperature range, it grows very fast and can reduce rotten buds.

4. The water quality is not clean

In addition to temperature, the second is the management of water. Bean sprouts are different from other crops. Bean sprouts only need water to grow normally, and sufficient water is needed in the growth process. However, if the sprouts are not watered in time, the bean sprouts are short of water, or the water quality is not clean.

Solution: it is recommended to use clean well water or stream water, and it is strictly forbidden to use dirty river or pond water. Well water and stream water are clean and polluted, and warm in winter and cool in summer, which is helpful to the growth of bean sprouts. Watering must be fixed and quantitative, usually 5 times a time, to wash away the metabolites.
