How to store garlic scientifically? These methods you need to master
I. Simple storage methods. These mainly include hanging storage, rack storage, cool shed storage, cellar storage, etc. To store garlic by these methods, it must first be pre-stored. After harvesting, arrange the garlic on dry ground and sun-dry it for 2-4 days, so that the leaf sheaths, scales and bulbs are fully dried and dehydrated, reaching about 70% dryness, and when the pseudostem becomes soft, it can be braided, or the root whiskers and pseudostem can be cut off and the heads packed loose. 1. Rack storage. Choose an indoor space with higher ground and good ventilation, place wooden ladders or racks, and hang the braided garlic strings or loose garlic heads in layers on the ladders or racks, taking care to ventilate.

How to prevent fish from oxygen deprivation in winter? These methods you must master
In winter, although the feeding activity of fish in ponds decreases, they still need a certain amount of dissolved oxygen to maintain slow breathing. The dissolved oxygen in a pond mainly comes from the photosynthesis of phytoplankton and from oxygen in the air dissolving directly into the water. However, in the cold winter, once the pond surface freezes over, oxygen in the air can no longer dissolve into the fish pond. When heavy snow covers the ice surface, sunlight cannot shine directly into the pond water, so the green plants in the water cannot carry out photosynthesis to produce oxygen. Moreover, in winter most fish gather at the bottom of the water,

There is an art to watering oyster mushrooms, and mastering the six observations is key
First, observe the climate. In dry weather, water more to raise humidity; in humid weather, water less. Second, observe the water temperature. When the mushroom house temperature is above 25°C, water at night or in the early morning or evening after the air temperature has dropped. Third, observe the mushroom house's moisture-retention performance. Mushroom houses with poor moisture retention need more watering, otherwise less. Fourth, observe the dryness or moisture of the substrate at both ends of the mushroom bag. When the substrate is dry, the amount of water sprayed should be sufficient, and the frequency correspondingly reduced. Fifth, observe the strength of the mycelium. When the mycelium in the substrate is strong, more water should be used, and the water for pinning and for the flush transition should be heavy; otherwise, it should be light. Sixth, observe how many mushrooms there are. When there are many and large mushrooms on the substrate surface, the water requirement is

How to Fertilize Lilies: Master the Key Points of Scientific Fertilization Techniques
Lilies are perennial herbaceous plants of the Liliaceae family. They are mainly produced in Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces (autonomous regions). The medicinal part is the bulb. Lilies prefer cool conditions and are relatively cold-tolerant; they prefer dry conditions and fear waterlogging; they are strongly shade-tolerant, but prefer light during the budding and flowering stage; they prefer deep, fertile sandy loam and have a relatively strong tolerance for fertilizer. Key points of fertilization techniques: For base fertilizer, apply 3000-4000kg of barnyard manure per 667 sq m. For topdressing, the first application at thawing time, apply 150

How to Choose a Maltese Dog? These Tips You Must Master
(1) Before buying, first read materials about this dog breed and have a certain understanding of its temperament and physical characteristics, so that when choosing you have standards to examine it item by item. If the dog basically meets the standards and requirements, it is an ideal breed; if the gap is too large or there are deformities, it should not be purchased. (2) Check whether the dog's height is within the general limit; whether its weight is within the ordinary standard range. If too large or too small, it should not be purchased. (3) Observe whether the dog's coat is long and straight

How to store garlic? Master these five methods for easy preservation
1. Hanging storage method. When harvesting garlic, strictly select the garlic intended for hanging storage, removing heads that are too small, have rotten stems and leaves, are damaged, or have been exposed to moisture. Then spread them on the ground to dry until the stems and leaves become soft and yellow, and the outer skin of the garlic is dry. Finally, select 50 to 100 garlic heads of uniform size and braid them, hanging them under a cool, ventilated, rain-sheltered eaves to air-dry and store. 2. Pile storage method. After harvesting garlic, remove scattered cloves, insect-damaged, moldy, and injured heads, tie them into bundles of 50 to 100 heads, and

Six key points to master for garlic cultivation with plastic mulch
Garlic cultivation with plastic film mulch has a significant yield-increasing effect and very obvious economic benefits. During cultivation, attention should be paid to the following six aspects: Fine land preparation and fertilization: prepare the land carefully and increase the application of organic fertilizer, applying 5000-7500 kg of decomposed organic fertilizer per mu. For plastic film mulching, small raised beds are generally used, with a bed width of 70 cm and a bed spacing of 20 cm. Plant 4 rows per bed, with a row spacing of 15 cm and a plant spacing of 10 cm. For mulching with plastic film, generally sow first and then cover with film. The film should be covered tightly and pressed down firmly so that it fits closely against the ground with no gaps and no wrinkles. Any holes should be promptly plugged with soil.

How to prevent and control lily anthracnose? These methods you need to master
Symptoms: Leaves develop round, pale yellow spots, with dark brown margins. On petals the spots are round and flax-colored. They occur mainly on the outer surface of the upper half of the scales, and also on the inner surface. Initially irregular, light brown spots appear, later becoming light blackish brown and slightly sunken, and finally the diseased area becomes almost black, with the tissue shriveling and dry-rotting. The spots can extend several layers deep into the scales, but the outermost scales are affected most severely. Flower buds on diseased bulbs abort, turning brown to black, or large numbers of small water-soaked round spots appear on the flowers, merging with each other into irregular brown patches

Six key points to master for summer management of lilies
1. Fertilize according to seedling growth. After lilies are planted, they begin to emerge when the soil temperature reaches 14-16°C. Because lilies take a long time to emerge and consume a lot of nutrients, seedling fertilizer should be applied heavily. Apply 1000 kg of fully decomposed human and livestock manure or 20 kg of urea as a drench per 667 sq m. In early June, when lilies enter the early flowering stage, their underground bulbs grow faster. This period is critical for lily yield formation, and the fertilizer demand is large and concentrated, so a leaf-strengthening fertilizer should be applied as a top dressing. Apply 15 kg of urea per 667 sq m. Lilies have a preference for phosphorus

How to prevent empty and blighted rice grains? Master these technical measures
Empty and blighted rice grains refer to unfertilized empty grains and half-empty grains that fail to develop after fertilization, and this has a great impact on rice yield. Therefore, in rice production, in addition to striving for more panicles and larger panicles, it is also necessary to reduce empty and blighted grains, improve the seed-setting rate, and increase the 1000-grain weight in order to obtain high yields. At present, rice is in the grain-filling and ripening stage. To prevent the occurrence of empty and blighted rice grains and achieve the goal of high yield, comprehensive preventive measures must be taken. The specific measures are as follows: 1. Select varieties with good seed setting. Rice varieties differ in physiological morphology, and the seed-setting rate varies greatly.
