Drying Chaotian chili peppers has its own rules; master the key points to dry them well
Chaotian chili peppers are grown on a fairly large area in our province. Throughout the entire production process, field management cannot be neglected, and likewise, scientific drying is a very important step. Right now, Chaotian chili peppers are about to be harvested. Below is a brief introduction to drying methods for the reference of chili growers. Timely harvesting: the fruits can be harvested once they have all turned deep red. In North China, harvesting is generally done from Cold Dew to Frost's Descent. If grown in small arched sheds or with plastic film mulching, harvesting can be done somewhat earlier; if planted later, the harvest period can be slightly postponed, but harvesting must be completed before Frost's Descent arrives

How to control the jujube gall midge? Mastering these methods is key
Because the various life stages of this insect are relatively small, manual control is somewhat difficult, so chemical control is generally used, as follows: (1) Ground control: when the jujube buds are about to sprout (around mid-April), before the overwintering adults emerge, spray the ground under the tree canopy with 2.5% trichlorfon powder, or 25% phoxim capsule formulation at 200-300 times dilution (cover with fine soil or lightly hoe and loosen the soil to mix evenly), or 4% acephate powder, or 4% dibrom powder, all are acceptable; where there are seedling beds between the rows, spray the ground at the same time.

To grow tree-stump bonsai well in winter, you need to master these methods
Based on years of experience, the author believes that as long as the following three aspects are done well, tree-stump bonsai will have no trouble overwintering safely. 1. Moderate water, no fertilizer. In winter, watering should follow the principle of preferring dry over wet; do not water until the soil turns white. Water at noon, and it is best to water thoroughly in one go; do not water in the evening, otherwise it is prone to freeze damage. For coniferous types, wax-leaf types, and landscape trees with thick, dense, lush and graceful foliage, spraying water to rinse the leaf surfaces is also very beneficial. Bonsai trees should not be fertilized in winter, but 15 days before the start of winter, along with weeding and loosening the soil and killing pests and diseases,

How to prune a tamarisk bonsai? These pruning techniques are a must to master
Tamarisk, also known as Guanyin willow or Sanchun willow. It is highly adaptable, tolerant of salt, waterlogging, cold, drought and pruning, takes shape quickly, and generally survives with easy care. Its branches are fine and its leaves small, and its branches droop gracefully like a weeping willow; its trunk is like iron, aged and peculiar, with the character of pine and cypress; it blooms 3 times a year, with a fairly long flowering period, and the pink flowers covering the branches make it look even more charming; its roots are like wandering dragons, with wonderful forms, and whether viewing the roots, trunk, leaves or flowers, it has advantages unmatched by other tree species, making it a good tree species for making bonsai. Tamarisk

How do potted miniature chrysanthemums overwinter? Master these overwintering methods
1. Soil burial, or burying the lower part in soil while covering the upper part with dry leaves. Before the frost season arrives, potted miniature chrysanthemums can be kept in their pots or removed from them, and for the burial covering use plain wet soil. First, it is forbidden to use fertilized soil or soil mixed with firewood, grass or leaves, because plain soil will not mold or generate heat that harms the chrysanthemum roots and plants. If the lower part is buried in plain wet soil and the upper part is then covered with dry leaves, even if the leaves become wet from snow they will dry out in the wind after sunny weather, and will not cause great harm to the chrysanthemum plants. Second, it is forbidden to keep watering after burying, because they are already buried in wet soil, and the miniature chrysanthemums lie dormant under the soil, neither growing nor consuming water,

What are the principles of watering bonsai? Mastering these few points is very important
1. The principle of watering: "Do not water when dry, water thoroughly when dry" - this is the principle of watering bonsai. It should be noted that when watering, avoid only wetting the surface soil and giving "half-way water," also called "waist-cut water," meaning the amount of water is insufficient and the pot soil is wet on top and dry below. "Half-way water," because the lower part of the pot soil is not moistened, is extremely unfavorable for tree roots to absorb water. In short, when the pot soil is dry, water enough until the pot soil is moist throughout from top to bottom. 2. Watering methods [1] Water according to season: In early spring, tree stumps begin to grow, and the amount of water needed gradually increases, but it should not be too much. When branches and leaves

Mastering 3 inoculation methods for shiitake mushrooms can achieve high yields
Dense inoculation: Increase the inoculation points on the log; more inoculation points mean a larger colonization area, allowing the mycelium to permeate the log in a shorter time. The log mainly exchanges gases with the outside through absorbing and evaporating water; the alternating wet-dry moisture movement can provide sufficient oxygen inside the log, enabling the mycelium to penetrate deep into the log to feed, thereby accelerating log maturation and reducing the chance of contamination by competitor fungi. Deep inoculation: Deep inoculation holes hold more spawn, which helps enhance drought resistance and reduces the stimulation of temperature fluctuations outside on the spawn blocks at the bottom of the holes. The mycelium inside the spawn blocks

How to store dried shiitake mushrooms? These four steps you need to master
1. Choose appropriate packaging materials: Choose packaging materials with good moisture resistance, airtightness and sturdiness. At present, it is best to choose polyethylene as the inner packaging and a thick cardboard box as the outer packaging. Polypropylene can also be used as a packaging material, but polyvinyl chloride must not be used, to prevent chloride ions from penetrating into the shiitake mushrooms. 2. Place desiccant: In the container used for sealed storage of dried shiitake mushrooms, place desiccants such as quicklime, anhydrous calcium chloride or silica gel (after packaging treatment), which can prevent the dried shiitake mushrooms from absorbing moisture and becoming moldy, and stop oxidation reactions from occurring. 3. Store at low temperature away from light: sealed

How to control cotton aphids in summer? These methods you need to master
Control of cotton aphids in summer. 1. Rotate the use of pesticides. Rotate the use of conventional field pesticides such as acetamiprid, imidacloprid and chlorpyrifos to reduce the likelihood of aphids developing resistance. Once aphids develop resistance to a certain chemical pesticide, even if you increase the number of applications and raise the pesticide concentration, you will not achieve the desired control effect. 2. Spray the affected parts evenly and thoroughly. Cotton is now in full bloom and the plants are tall, so when spraying you must be careful and thorough, focusing on spraying the undersides of the leaves in the middle and lower parts of the cotton plant, strictly preventing missed spraying and missed coverage, and truly

How to fatten thin cattle in spring? Master these key points
1. Choose good cattle for fattening The key to choosing good cattle for fattening lies in discovering the fattening potential of thin cattle. Thin cattle caused by poor feeding management, low-quality feed, or excessive labor can be chosen as the first choice. Never buy sick cattle that are too old, suffer from digestive tract diseases or infectious diseases, and are extremely weak. 2. Build good pens Create a quiet, comfortable, and clean living environment for thin cattle to minimize stress responses. 3. Group reasonably: Group newly purchased thin cattle by age, sex, and nutritional status. This not only
