Latest Key Points of Field Management Techniques for Water Bamboo
Water bamboo, also known as gao gua, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the grass family. Water bamboo has very high nutritional value, and the nutrients it contains are very comprehensive, such as protein, sugar and various vitamins. Water bamboo also has a series of medicinal effects such as promoting diuresis and quenching thirst, tonifying the kidney and detoxifying. Water bamboo is now very widely planted, but growing water bamboo requires everyone to do a good job in field management. Below, the editor brings you the field management techniques for water bamboo. Let's take a look together!
1. Seedling management
Management during the seedling stage of water bamboo is very important. After planting, we must regularly observe the growth of the seedlings. If planting double-cropping water bamboo, when more than 15 tillers have grown, thin the seedlings in time and remove the overly dense tillers. If they are not pulled out, they will not only consume excessive nutrients and increase planting costs, but the increased density as they grow will also hinder the growth of water bamboo and reduce yield. Also, if you find seedlings that are growing too weakly or even dying, pull them out and replace them with healthy seedlings to ensure a full stand and full production, so that the seedlings grow and are distributed evenly and the field ventilation is improved.
2. Water and fertilizer management
The water and fertilizer demands of water bamboo are relatively large. First of all, water bamboo needs to grow in paddy fields. Therefore, during the entire growth period of water bamboo, it must be ensured that the water supply is not cut off, and the water requirement of water bamboo will change with the different stages of its growth. So while ensuring sufficient water, we must also properly adjust the water level according to the growth of the water bamboo. The growth ability of water bamboo is very strong, and the plants are also relatively tall, with a large fertilizer requirement. While applying sufficient base fertilizer, we must also properly topdress according to the growth of the water bamboo. The nutritional needs of water bamboo will change with the variety and planting region. When planting in the south, it is necessary to promote tillering in the early stage of water bamboo growth and apply swollen-gall fertilizer in the later stage to increase the yield of water bamboo and enhance its quality.
3. Plowing the field and weeding
Paddy fields are an environment that many weeds prefer. If management is not strengthened, the number of weeds will increase more and more, and nutrient consumption will also become greater and greater. Therefore, we must regularly observe the condition of the paddy field, plow the field regularly, and do a good job in prevention. When plowing, use manual plowing between the rows of water bamboo to improve soil permeability, achieve the purpose of weeding, and also increase soil temperature and decompose fertilizer. During the growth period of water bamboo, the number of plowing operations must not be less than three times. Finally, avoid using chemical herbicides, because herbicides will also have a certain impact on water bamboo and hinder its growth.
4. Stripping off dead leaves
As just mentioned, the growth period of water bamboo is relatively long, so the leaves will show a phenomenon of new and old alternating. However, some old dead leaves will not fall off automatically, but will continue to absorb nutrients on the water bamboo plant. These old dead leaves can no longer play any role in the growth of the plant. They cannot carry out photosynthesis, and they will also reduce field ventilation and consume fertilizer. Therefore, we must promptly strip off dead leaves, old leaves, yellow leaves and other leaves from the water bamboo plants. Improve the ventilation and air permeability of the field. When stripping, note that you should pay attention to the stripping technique and must not let the plants be injured. The stripped leaves can be turned into the soil as fertilizer.
The above is the editor's brief introduction to field management for water bamboo planting. Growing water bamboo is relatively simple, but field management still must be done well. Ensure that water bamboo can grow and develop normally and avoid unnecessary losses. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you all for reading and supporting.
