Plastic-mulched cotton grows vigorously, so lodging and premature senescence must be prevented early
Many cotton farmers, in the process of growing plastic-mulched cotton, are prone to some technical mistakes that cause cotton plant lodging and premature senescence. The former is triggered by removing the film too late, while the latter is caused by untimely or insufficient topdressing. Therefore, the following measures should be taken promptly: remove the plastic film at the right time. Plastic-mulched cotton has a much stronger capacity to absorb fertilizer and water in the early stage than directly sown cotton. If the film is removed at the right time and field management is strengthened, plastic-mulched cotton can give full play to its advantages; if the film is removed late or not removed at all, it is not conducive to the cotton roots growing downward, causing most roots to be distributed in the upper soil layer,

Pruning roses takes skill: master these few techniques for more vigorous blooms
Rational pruning is the key to controlling the flowering period of roses. In practice, pruning should be carried out according to the overall growth vigor of the rose plant. There are two types of buds on rose flowering shoots. At the 1st to 5th leaf below the flower, the upper buds on the shoot are pointed; the flowering shoots they produce are short, with about 6 to 9 leaves, and they set buds early, usually in 15 to 18 days, with small flowers. The middle buds on the shoot (at the 6th to 9th leaf below the flower) are round; the flowering shoots produced by round buds are long, with about 13 to 16 leaves, and they take longer to set buds, usually around 25 days, with large flowers; the bud eyes at the base of the shoot are flat, the buds have low vigor, sprout slowly, and easily produce vigorous water shoots, and the flowering shoots take even longer to set buds, usually more than 30 days.
