Four tips for raising roots of leeks

Leek can be said to be a popular vegetable suitable for all ages. It is also very common in the market, and it is very suitable whether it is grown in the open field or grown at home. Generally speaking, it is not too difficult to achieve high yield of leeks, mainly to ensure the number of seedlings and the development of rhizomes, and this depends on the condition of the roots of leeks. So how to grow the roots of leeks? Let's learn these four tips together.

Leek to grow roots

1. Reap reasonable

Root cultivation and harvesting are complementary and mutually influencing. Therefore, reasonable harvesting is essential. However, since rationality is mentioned, the following three points must be paid attention to when harvesting:

(1) The number of harvesting in a year should not exceed 5 times. If the number of harvesting is too many, it will inevitably shorten the time for the recovery of the growth of leeks.

(2) The height of stubble should not be too low. Generally speaking, the height of stubble should be kept 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 and pour urine immediately after cutting. Instead, sprinkle some plant ash first and wait 3-5 days before pouring clean water or decomposed human and animal urine.

2. Prevent root jumping

To prevent leeks from jumping roots, it is necessary to rejuvenate the plants and grow vigorously. The most common solution is to cultivate soil and manure in a timely manner. In this way, the roots exposed to the ground can be buried, which is equivalent to increasing the depth of roots, and also meets the basic needs of roots for nutrient absorption.

3. Topdressing timely

After entering October, the assimilation of leeks will increase due to the gradual cooling of the temperature, and the growth of leeks will slow down, which is not conducive to the vigorous growth of the above-ground parts. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the management of water and fertilizer for leeks. Generally, 15 kg of ammonium nitrate per mu should be topdressed once with the water in mid-to-late September; in October, topdressing should be performed again at the appropriate time, and an appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be added.

4. Pinch off the flower moss

In order to make the stems and leaves of leek flourish in the later stage, it is necessary to get rid of the leek flower moss in time. The purpose of pinching off the flower moss is to make leek stems and leaves grow, the nutrient demand of leek tillers is no longer inhibited, and to promote the growth of the used part.
