Do mulberries need to be sprayed with pesticides when grown? A detailed explanation of pesticide use

In the process of growing mulberries, pesticides must be used frequently. Mulberry belongs to the herbaceous plants, the plants are relatively short, and the fruit is tender and juicy, all of which make it susceptible to pests, diseases, and microorganisms.

Picking mulberries blindly to eat may very likely lead to poisoning or allergies. For low-toxicity pesticides, they can be eaten after 7 days; for moderate toxicity, they can be eaten after 10-15 days; for high toxicity, they can be eaten after at least 20 days.

How can mulberries be washed more cleanly?

1. Rinse with running water

Some pesticide residue will definitely remain on the surface of the mulberry flesh, so first rinse it with running water, preferably under a faucet. Do not soak the mulberries, because rinsing with running water from a faucet is meant to prevent the pesticides on the surface from entering the flesh.

2. Keep the stem and wash

Before washing mulberries, the excess branches and leaves need to be cut off, but the stems of the mulberries must be kept before washing, so that pesticides and bacteria can be prevented from entering the flesh through the damaged stems.

3. Wash and sterilize with salt water

Mulberries cannot be soaked in plain water, but they can be soaked in salt water, because salt water has a sterilizing effect and can remove bacteria on the surface of the mulberries, so they can be eaten with peace of mind.
