Four tips for rooting leeks

Leek can be said to be a popular vegetable for all ages, and it is also very common in the market, and it is very suitable for both open field cultivation and homegrowing. Generally speaking, it is not too difficult to realize the high yield of leek, mainly to ensure the number of seedlings and the development of rhizomes, and this depends on the situation of leek rooting. So how do you grow roots? Let's learn these four tips together.

Leek rooting

1. Reasonable harvest

Rooting and harvesting are complementary and affect each other, so reasonable harvesting is essential, but since reasonableness is mentioned, the following three points should be noted when harvesting:

(1) The number of harvesting times in a year should not exceed 5 times. If there are too many harvesting times, it will inevitably reduce the time for the leek to resume growing.

(2) The stubble height should not be too low. Generally speaking, it is better to keep the stubble height at 3-5 cm.

(3) Harvesting leeks should not be carried out on rainy days. At the same time, it is not advisable to water or urinate feces immediately after cutting.

2. Prevent root jumping

To prevent the leek from jumping roots, it is necessary to rejuvenate the plants and grow vigorously. The most common solution is to cultivate soil and dung in time. In this way, the root system that is exposed to the ground can be buried, which is equivalent to increasing the depth of the root system and also meeting the basic needs of root nutrient absorption.

3. Top dressing in time

After entering October, as the temperature gradually cools, the assimilation of leeks increases, and the growth of leeks slows down, which is not conducive to the vigorous growth of aboveground parts. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the water and fertilizer management of leeks. Generally, in the middle and late September, it is necessary to apply 15 kg of ammonium nitrate once per acre with water.

4. Pinch off the flower moss

In order to make the stems and leaves of leeks vigorous in the later period, it is necessary to get rid of the flower moss of leeks in time. The purpose of pinching off the flower moss is to make the growth of the stem and leaf of the leek and the nutrient demand of the leek tiller no longer be suppressed, and promote the growth of the used part.
