Detailed Explanation of Key Techniques for Mulch Cultivation of Lotus Root
Lotus root belongs to the lotus family. Lotus root is slightly sweet and crisp, and can be eaten raw or cooked; it is one of the commonly used table vegetables. Lotus root is also a plant with fairly high medicinal value; its roots, leaves, flowers, stamens, and fruits are all treasures and can all be used as tonics in medicine. Made into powder, lotus root can promote digestion and stop diarrhea, stimulate the appetite and clear heat, nourish and strengthen the constitution, and prevent internal bleeding. It is an excellent liquid food and tonic delicacy for women, children, the elderly, and those who are frail and often ill. Lotus root is rich in vitamin C and minerals, has medicinal effects, benefits the heart, and has the effect of promoting metabolism and preventing rough skin. It is cultivated in Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and other places in our country. Lotus root is also called lotus lotus root, and because its underground stem is white, it is also named white stem. In the poem "Ode to the Lotus" by Chen Zhisui of Jingjiang in Jiangnan: "Though in the mud, it is not stained by the mud; the white stem buried in the ground is known to no one. In the clear red and green of vitality, before the wind comes, fragrance fills the pond." Lotus root is also an important cash crop for agriculture in cultivation areas.</p><p></p><p>Mulch cultivation of lotus root can increase the planting benefits of lotus root, so how exactly should mulch cultivation of lotus root be carried out?</p><p>Select the field plot. For the lotus field, choose a paddy field with fertile soil, deep soil layer, loose structure and good water retention, and relatively good sunlight and water sources.</p><p>Field disinfection. For fields prone to disease (continuous cropping lotus fields), field disinfection should be carried out when preparing the field. Spread 100-150 kg of lime per mu, release a thin layer of water, and keep it for 3 days. Or use pentachloronitrobenzene, Tubawang, Luheng No. 1, carbendazim, etc. for chemical disinfection.</p><p>Control underground pests. Apply 2 kg of carbofuran per mu.</p><p>Finely prepare the field. Before preparing the field, pick up stones, straw, and other debris in the field that affect mulch quality. Field preparation requires softness but not muddy mushiness (the dried mud surface is soft and not hard, and when making beds, the mud on the bed does not flow back), and the field should be as level as a mirror.</p><p>Formula fertilization. Fertilization amount: generally apply 5000 kg of decomposed farmyard manure per mu. Three-element compound (mixed) fertilizer 150-200 kg. Fertilization method: farmyard manure is applied before field preparation, and chemical fertilizer is applied throughout the whole layer after draining water and before leveling the field.</p><p>Make beds to specifications. After the field is prepared, seize the timing. When the field mud is soft and does not flow back, and the mud is well mixed and easy to level, open the surrounding ditches and bed ditches according to a 1.5 bed width. The depth and width standards of the two ditches generally reach 45 cm × 36 cm and 30 cm × 26 cm respectively. For larger fields, add middle ditches, and the middle ditches should be appropriately deepened. On the premise of not destroying the plow pan, meet the standards of having water in the ditches, no water on the bed surface, easy drainage during waterlogging, and good irrigation during drought.</p><p>Arrange lotus roots and cover with mulch</p><p>Variety selection. For varieties needed for early market listing, choose "Wulian No. 4", "Liuyuebao", etc. For those pursuing high yield, choose "3735" and "Elian No. 4".</p><p>Seed lotus root requirements. Seed lotus root standard: seed lotus roots should have more than two nodes of fully mature lotus root body; large lotus roots, vigorous buds, no damage, no pests or diseases, and fresh parent lotus roots or daughter lotus roots are used as seed lotus roots. The digging of seed lotus roots should be based on the amount to be arranged that day, digging and arranging as you go. If the arrangement cannot be completed that day, sprinkle water and cover to preserve moisture and keep them intact and undamaged. Disinfection of seed lotus roots: before arranging the lotus roots, wash the soil off the seed lotus roots, soak them in 1000-fold carbendazim solution for 10 minutes, take them out and drain them for use as seed.</p><p>Time for arranging lotus roots. Time for arranging lotus roots: finish arranging and planting by late March. Weather selection: when arranging lotus roots, try as much as possible to choose windless conditions and, after frost and snow have melted, seize the time to arrange and plant them into the mud.</p><p>Density of arranging lotus roots. Per mu, the lotus roots are arranged in a "triangular" staggered pattern (plum blossom shape), with 2 rows per bed, and a row spacing of about 80 cm. The center-to-center spacing between lotus roots is adjusted according to density, generally about 1.5 m.</p><p>Amount of lotus roots arranged. The arrangement amount per mu is 400-500 kg.</p><p>Method of arranging lotus roots. Grade the seed lotus roots by size, arrange one lotus per hole, keep the lotus root parallel to the bed, tilt the lotus root head toward the inside of the bed, bury the lotus root head 10-12 cm into the mud, and bury the tail about 5 cm into the mud.</p><p>Cover strictly with mulch. After arranging the lotus roots is completed, clean the ditches and level the beds (the beds are as level as a mirror), make the mulch closely adhere to the mud, and secure the edges all around. For leaking field ridges, mulch should also be laid to prevent seepage. Mulch specifications: 0.005 mm × 1700 mm.</p>

Comprehensive Management Techniques for Chinese Cabbage at the Rosette Stage
Chinese cabbage, a biennial herb, 40-60 cm tall, usually hairless throughout the plant, sometimes with a few bristles on the midrib of the lower leaf surface. Native to northern China, it is a leafy vegetable of the genus Brassica in the family Brassicaceae, usually referring to napa cabbage; it also includes bok choy and the headed cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) derived from cultivated varieties of cabbage, namely "round cabbage" or "foreign cabbage." Introduced to the south, it is cultivated throughout both northern and southern regions. It was introduced to Japan, Europe and the United States in the 19th century. There are many types of Chinese cabbage; northern napa cabbage varieties include Shandong Jiaozhou napa cabbage, Beijing green-white, Tianjin hemp-leaf napa cabbage, Northeast large dwarf cabbage, Yutian napa cabbage, Shanxi Yangcheng large hairy-edge, and others. Chinese cabbage is eaten for its tender leaf heads, rosette leaves or flower stalks. Its cultivation area and consumption rank first among all vegetables in China. <p>Chinese cabbage, a biennial herb, 40-60 cm tall, usually hairless throughout the plant, sometimes with a few bristles on the midrib of the lower leaf surface.

Chinese cabbage is eaten for its tender leaf heads, rosette leaves or flower stalks. Its cultivation area and consumption rank first among all vegetables in China.</p><p></p><p>Cultivation seasons for Chinese cabbage</p><p>Early-maturing varieties are generally sown in early to mid-August, with some sown as early as late July. Mid-maturing varieties can be sown from late August to early September. Late-maturing varieties are best sown in late August.</p><p>Management of Chinese cabbage at the rosette stage is very important for its production and must be taken seriously, so how should comprehensive management be carried out at the rosette stage?</p><p>The rosette stage is a critical period for napa cabbage growth; at this time growth is rapid and both roots and leaves grow vigorously, but it is also a critical period for disease occurrence. In management, it is necessary to promote rapid leaf growth to form the largest possible leaf assimilation area as quickly as possible, promote rapid root development, control excessive late-stage leaf growth, and prevent disease occurrence.</p><p>Fertilizer and water management. During the rosette stage of napa cabbage, growth speed and growth amount are both very rapid, and fertilizer demand increases. At the early rosette stage, a “plant-development” fertilizer should be applied as a top dressing, with 8-10 kg of urea per mu, by opening a 10 cm furrow on one side of the ridge, applying the fertilizer, closing the furrow and watering; when opening the furrow, take care to damage the roots as little as possible. The heading stage has a high water demand, so full irrigation should be combined with top dressing, generally once every 7 days, keeping the ground constantly moist. Stop watering 10 days before harvest, generally once every 7 days, keeping the ground constantly moist. Stop watering 10 days before harvest.</p><p>Seedling hardening to promote roots. During the period from the mid-rosette stage to the heading stage, napa cabbage is subjected to controlled watering for seedling hardening, controlling excessive growth, thickening the leaves, promoting root development, helping nutrient accumulation, reducing field humidity, and controlling the occurrence and development of diseases. The seedling hardening period varies from 10-20 days, with leaf color changing from green to yellow or slight wilting at noon. In the following situations, reduce seedling hardening: varieties with a short growth period and rapid growth, those sown too late, those transplanted as large seedlings, those with poor seedling condition, dry areas with little rain and higher temperatures, and sandy land short of water and fertilizer.</p><p>Pest and disease control. The main diseases of napa cabbage at the rosette stage are downy mildew and soft rot. Control methods: first, control humidity to prevent downy mildew and soft rot. Second, when disease is found, apply pesticide at the right time to control disease development.</p>
