Causes of non-tillering of leek and its solution

Leek is the most common vegetable in our life, which is basically planted in every household in rural areas, and can be harvested throughout the year at one time, which is also related to the strong regeneration and tillering ability of leek. And many found that leek in a harvest, will grow less and less, this is also the reason for the decline of leek tillering ability, so leek does not tiller is what reason? Let's get to know it with the editor.

1. Improper sowing time

Leek has strong adaptability, heat tolerance and cold tolerance are good, but it can not be sown all the year round, generally suitable for leek sowing in April-May, when the temperature begins to pick up, generally maintained between 10-20 degrees, very suitable for the growth and development of leek. However, if the seeds are sown in the hot summer season, the seeds will not germinate normally, and the high temperature will also think of the tillers of leeks. In the early autumn, the leek grows very high, but the temperature drops rapidly, which will also affect the leek tiller, so if the leek tiller is good, we must first choose the appropriate sowing time.

2. Planting density is too high.

When growing leeks, many people think that the denser the planting, the higher the yield, so it will be packed together, but this is a mistake. Once the leek is planted too densely, it needs a certain space when it begins to tiller. If there is not enough space for tillering, then its tillering will stop. Of course, it can not be too thin, after all, the tillering capacity of leek is limited, planting too sparse will cause a waste of soil resources, affecting the average yield.

3. Harvesting too often

Leek can be harvested many times at one time, but if it is harvested too often in the planting process, it will not only affect the normal growth of leek, but also affect the tillering of leek. The harvest times of leek during the growing period should not be too frequent, and the harvest must be stopped in summer dog days and after winter, if the harvest is too frequent, it will not only attract leek to absorb soil nutrients, but also have a certain impact on the axillary buds of leek, thus affecting the tillering of leek.

4. Improper fertilizer and water

The reason why leek can be harvested constantly, in addition to its strong regeneration function and tillering ability, it also has a large root system for fertilizer and water management. Because of the large yield of leek, there is a large demand for fertilizer and water in the process of growth. if the number of watering and fertilization is too little, then the lack of fertilizer and water will affect the normal tillering ability of leek.

The above is the introduction of the reasons and solutions for the non-tillering of leek. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about it, please pay attention to us.
