A detailed guide to the sand storage method for lilies, master the correct storage techniques
The harvest period for lilies is in mid-August, when temperatures are high, the freshly harvested lily bulbs have a high moisture content and vigorous respiration, and they are very prone to mold and rot if not stored properly. Here we introduce a method of storing lilies in sand, which can extend the storage period of lilies to as long as 6 months. 1. Treatment before storage After harvesting, lilies should promptly have the soil, stems and fibrous roots removed; select lilies that are white in color, large, fresh and free of disease spots, then store them by grade. Freshly harvested lilies should be placed in a shaded area, avoiding direct sunlight, to prevent the outer scales from discoloring and losing water. 2. Storage method (1) In the

How to prevent deformity in winter oyster mushrooms? These measures must be mastered
1. Blue mushroom: During the growth of the fruiting body, a blue halo forms at the edge of the cap, and even the entire fruiting body turns blue-black, without fading until harvest. Preventive measures: For warming measures, methods such as sunlight, heating, and electric heating are preferable. If burning wood or coal is used for warming, closed heat-transfer and smoke-exhaust pipes should be installed, and it is not advisable to build a stove directly in the mushroom house. 2. Big-foot mushroom: After the primordium forms, the differentiation and development speed of the cap is inconsistent, showing only the stipe growing, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, with no mushroom umbrella growing, and the cap

Three key points to master for high-yield Gastrodia elata cultivation
I. Armillaria must be "three new" 1. New technology: new methods to obtain new strains. The new method uses the latest biotechnology to detoxify the strains, which is by far the most advanced method of obtaining strains. Among traditional Armillaria strains, the best results come from those obtained by tissue isolation or spore isolation; most units or individuals use purchased mother cultures for subculturing and expansion, so the cultivation results are poor. 2. New strains: pure isolated strains within three generations are required. The pure isolated strains referred to in this article mean

How to prevent and treat winter diarrhea in pigs? Pig farmers need to master these methods
Winter diarrhea is epidemic diarrhea of pigs in winter. The peak incidence period is from mid-December to mid-January of the following year; the onset is acute, the spread is rapid, and the epidemic range is wide; the incidence rate is high and the mortality rate is low, seriously affecting the growth and development of pigs. Symptoms The incubation period of this disease is generally 12 hours to 18 hours. After adult pigs are infected, watery diarrhea appears. The feces are initially grayish white, gradually becoming yellowish green, with a foul odor. Abdominal distension, vomiting, and body temperature initially rises to 40°C to 41°C. Once diarrhea occurs, the body temperature drops, and the pig is thirsty and drinks eagerly. Piglets within 10 days of age suddenly vomit, followed by watery diarrhea, with curds in the stool, and if not treated in time, they become emaciated and die. The author used integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat more than 100 cases, with an effective rate of over 96%.

Therefore, extra care must be taken during winter harvesting to avoid injuring the fish as much as possible, so as to reduce the occurrence of fish diseases and improve the economic returns of the pond. 1. Clear debris from the pond before harvesting. Wooden stakes set up in the pond for theft prevention, uncleared large rocks, and aquatic plants on the water surface such as water hyacinth and alligator weed can all interfere with normal seining. To carry out winter harvesting smoothly and safely, these must be cleared before harvesting

How to harvest garlic? Master these technical key points
1. Harvesting garlic scapes. Garlic scape harvesting is highly time-sensitive; once they have grown, they must be harvested promptly. Timely harvesting of garlic scapes can ease the competition for nutrients between the scapes and the garlic bulbs, makes the scapes tender in texture, and also promotes rapid bulb swelling. From differentiation to harvest, garlic scapes generally need 40-45 days, and from emergence to harvest about 15 days; the best harvest time for garlic scapes is when the spathe turns white. The morphological signs of mature garlic scapes are: when the scape bends into an arch, the portion of the scape axis above the point where it contacts the second-to-last leaf turns light yellow by 4-5 cm

How to save garlic seed? Mastering these tips is key
Garlic loses vigor because it is propagated vegetatively by replanting cloves year after year, resulting in weak, stunted plants, poor disease resistance, smaller bulbs and lower yields. In concentrated garlic-producing areas, seed selection, seed saving and purification and rejuvenation should be carried out properly. Selecting bulbs and cloves Before harvest, select plants in the field, mark those that match the variety's characteristics, grow vigorously and are free of pests and diseases, and pick them out as seed at harvest. At harvest, also choose bulbs that are large and round, free of deformed cloves, undamaged, uniform in size, and with skin color, flesh color and clove division matching the variety's characteristics; dry, braid and store them separately; select again when planting, remove rotten, damaged, soft and yellowed cloves caused by heat, freeze injury or bruising, and plant large cloves; bulb and clove selection must be done every year, which can improve the seed stock's quality.

How to Make Bagged Pears Sweeter? Master These Four Measures
Bagging pears can significantly improve their appearance and marketability, but bagging has a certain effect on the sweetness of pears. The following measures can increase the sugar content of bagged pears. 1. Apply more potassium fertilizer. The amount of farmyard manure should be 2 to 3 times the fruit yield, changing the past practice of 1 kg of fertilizer per 1 kg of fruit, and it should be applied in early autumn after harvest. Control the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and maintain the application ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers at 1:0.6:1. While fertilizing, pay attention to watering during early spring and autumn droughts, and tree-disk mulching and whole-orchard mulching can also be used to prevent
