Latest Causes of Low Survival Rate in Waxberry Planting and Control Measures
Waxberry has relatively high vegetable value, attracting many fruit growers to carry out large-scale planting, but many farmers report that during the planting process, the survival rate of waxberry is low and the fruit seedlings are difficult to keep alive, causing certain economic losses to fruit growers. Below, the editor has compiled for everyone the causes of low waxberry survival rate and the corresponding countermeasures, hoping to help everyone.
I. Causes of Low Waxberry Survival Rate
The causes of low waxberry planting survival rate are complex and diverse, among which improper planting is the main cause of the low survival rate. Let's take a look together. First, before planting, the selection of seedlings is not up to standard, mainly because the plant root system is shrunken and underdeveloped, causing the plant to be thin and weak, and during transport the plant becomes dehydrated, making it difficult to survive after planting. During the planting process, fixing is very important, and many issues need attention. If planting is too shallow and the surface soil coverage rate is low, while waxberry photosynthesis and transpiration proceed as normal, at this time there is severe water shortage and the drought resistance capacity is lost. This is another important cause of low survival rate. After planting, one must not relax the management of moisture either, and water must be replenished according to temperature abnormalities.
II. Measures to Improve the Survival Rate
1. Select strong seedlings
The main point is to select high-quality waxberry plants, choosing plants with well-developed root systems and thick, strong roots and stems, so that the plants will not appear thin and weak when planted. However, during the planting and transport process, water retention work must be done well to reduce the plant's transpiration as much as possible. Plastic wrap can also be used to secure the plant root system well to reduce water loss.
2. Planting time
When waxberry is planted, the climate must not be too hot or too cold, so the best time for planting is late February to March. If cloudy and rainy days are chosen for planting, it will reduce the plant's transpiration and improve the plant's survival rate.
3. Selection of planting site
Comprehensive judgment and selection should be made according to location, terrain and topography, and soil. Waxberry likes hot and humid conditions and acidic soil, so when selecting, try to choose northern mountainous hills with loose, fertile acidic soil.
4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases
⟦NL>Pests and diseases are also important factors affecting the plant survival rate. There are diverse types of pests and diseases, and their treatment methods are not the same. In order to improve the plant survival rate, targeted breeding must be carried out for different pests and diseases. For pests still in the incubation period, plant inspection, larval removal and prevention can be carried out. For adult insects, the best control method is to use their habit of liking dark places, drive them away under light irradiation, and set traps and obstacles to capture and kill them. For diseases, fertilizer and water control should be strengthened to enhance resistance to diseases, and diseased plants should be isolated and removed when found.
