Matters needing attention for planting leek in summer

Leek is a common vegetable, it is eaten in many ways, it is also a common food in the barbecue industry, and it can be planted all the year round, but we must pay attention to a few points when planting in summer, otherwise it will have a great impact on its yield and quality. Next, let's take a look at the notes for growing leeks in summer with the editor.

1. Remove weeds

High temperature and rainy summer, this is a good time for the growth of leek, but also the growth period of all kinds of weeds, because the leek plant is low, can not be favorable shading, coupled with row-to-row spacing, have created favorable conditions for weed growth. Therefore, we should pay attention to timely removal of weeds, lest weeds and leeks compete for water and fertilizer, affecting the growth of leeks. Ploughing in time after each watering can not only break the soil consolidation, but also achieve the purpose of timely removal of weeds. In addition, the grass should be removed when you see the grass in the daily management to facilitate the growth of leeks.

2. Control the growth

Leek grows vigorously in summer, so many growers will apply fertilizer irregularly in order to enhance the nutrient storage of leek, which can easily lead to the growth of leek, especially the leek with excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer. When the leek appeared the phenomenon of vigorous growth, the plant height increased obviously, the leaf area increased, the plant was thin and weak, and it was easy to lodge. After lodging, the plants were cascading and shading each other. A few days later, the leaves were yellowed and the plants rotted, causing leek to rot and die, forming missing seedlings and breaking ridges. Therefore, to plant leek in summer, we must insist on controlling prosperity and promoting strong, fertilizing mainly with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, increasing diameter and intensity, achieving strong but not prosperous, thick roots and strong seedlings.

3. Bolting in time

The end of summer is the period of bolting and seeding of leek, which consumes a lot of nutrients. Generally speaking, bolting and seeding of leek is about 20% less than that of no bolting and seeding. Therefore, when the leek is bolting at the end of summer, the leek moss should be removed in time to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. If the leek moss can not be removed in time, the leek moss should be interrupted with a stick in the lower part of the leek flower before flowering, so as to reduce nutrient consumption as much as possible.

4. Control leek maggots

Leek maggot is the most important pest in the production process of leek, which often leads to the failure of chive harvest in a large area, so preventing leek maggot is also the key work of leek planting. In general, spring and autumn is the period of high incidence of leek maggots. After removing the shed, 48% chlorpyrifos EC, 1 kg per mu, watering and irrigation root control, before buckling the shed, 48% chlorpyrifos EC, 1 kg per mu, irrigation root control with water, the effect is better.
