What to do when vegetables grow slowly? Do not use rooting agents indiscriminately
Do not use rooting agents indiscriminately when vegetables grow slowly
(Agricultural Wealth Network) During interviews in the countryside, the author found that vegetable farmer Master Wang's eggplants grew slowly after transplanting, with dark green leaves, thick roots, and relatively thin stems. For these symptoms, Master Wang should have used foliar sprays such as Aiduoshou or Yunda 120, but he believed that irrigating the roots with a rooting agent could better promote root growth. As a result, the roots competed for too many nutrients, and the aboveground growth became even weaker.
Roots are the foundation of vegetable growth. Nourishing roots is correct, but not all situations are suitable for using rooting agents.
The main function of rooting agents is to promote root growth and regulate the balance between vegetative growth and reproductive growth. Under normal circumstances, they are not needed, and using them more often tends to produce the opposite effect.
If leaf growth is poor, the supply of organic matter produced is insufficient, which will lead to poor root growth, and even irrigating with a rooting agent will hardly help. Therefore, the period for using rooting agents should be when the root system is relatively weak and the water and fertilizer absorbed cannot meet the needs of the leaves, such as when root injury is caused by watering or fertilizing, or when the ratio of roots to leaves is imbalanced; the effect is best at these times.
