The Latest Weeding Methods and Precautions for Daylily
Daylily, also known as golden needle vegetable, has high nutritional value and also has effects such as stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation, clearing heat and draining dampness, and improving eyesight and calming the mind. Market demand is extremely high, so it attracts many people to grow it. However, during cultivation, weed damage is severe and often affects the planting harvest and returns, so weeding work must be done well. Let's learn about it together with the editor below.
1. Weeding Methods
Manual weeding can be chosen. For example, newly planted daylily cannot use herbicides, so manual weeding must be carried out, or if the planting area is unsuitable, manual weeding can also be used. However, this method has low labor cost but is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so if it is a small-scale grower, this method can be chosen. Another method is chemical weeding. Generally, herbicides can be used after 2-3 years, but daylily is a sensitive crop, so caution is needed when using herbicides for weeding.
2. Weeding Time
If manual weeding is used, it can be carried out at any time. Strengthen inspections at ordinary times, and once weeds are found, pull them out promptly. Remove weeds as soon as they appear. Chemical weeding is suitable around the time when a large number of weeds sprout during the seedling stage, and when the soil is moist at this time is the best weeding period. In the north, the weeding time for daylily should be controlled by applying chemicals after rain. When the temperature is above 33 degrees, application should be stopped to avoid pesticide volatilization causing phytotoxicity to daylily. From half a month before daylily bolting to the harvest period, chemical herbicides should not be used for weeding.
3. Spraying Methods
When spraying chemicals during the daylily seedling stage, the nozzle should be kept a certain distance above the top of the plant, and drift spraying should be adopted. When the daylily leaves are about to cover the soil, lower the nozzle and adopt targeted spraying for inter-row weeding, trying to spray the liquid onto the weeds between the rows.
4. Precautions
The choice of herbicide should be determined according to the weed species and the time of use, and the dosage must be strictly controlled. There are many types of herbicides, with varying contents of effective ingredients and varying dosages. Therefore, when using them, the dosage must be strictly controlled. Remember not to use too much or too little, so as to ensure the weeding effect without effectively affecting crop growth.
