Edible fungus disease prevention and control methods; chicken manure fertilizer is suitable for spring sowing of flowers

Poultry manure is an important high-quality fertilizer source, and chicken manure is the finest among high-quality fertilizers. Its nutrient content is higher than that of other poultry and livestock manure and urine. Most of its nutrients are in organic form, are relatively easy to decompose, and it has a relatively high fermentation temperature; chicken manure contains 50.5% moisture, 25.5% organic matter, 1.63% nitrogen, 1.54% phosphorus, 0.85% potassium, and also contains relatively large amounts of trace elements and vitamin B. Its content is second only to pigeon manure, but its yield is higher than that of pigeon manure. Each chicken produces 15 jin of fertilizer per year, which is 2.5 times that of pigeon manure. Chicken manure has a wide range of sources, low cost, and good application effects, making it a good flower fertilizer.

Chicken manure fertilizer is applied during spring sowing because its fertilizer effect is long-lasting. When used as a base fertilizer, its fertility does not diminish in the same year, saving effort once and for all, and it can also improve the soil, which is beneficial to plant growth; when used as a topdressing fertilizer, because one application of chicken manure fertilizer liquid can maintain its fertilizer effect for about 2 months, the effect is very good.

Applying chicken manure fertilizer in early spring has been proven through practice, because its fertilizer efficiency is high and its fertilizing properties are stable. Under equivalent growing conditions, its effect is better than that of other fertilizers, and plant growth is clearly good; the main stems are thick and strong, tillering is luxuriant, the leaves are dark green and thick, the flowers are large, the color is bright, and the flowering period is relatively long.

In the storage and use of chicken manure fertilizer, the following should be done:

1. The nutrient concentration in chicken manure is high and it decomposes easily, so special attention should be paid to avoiding nitrogen loss. There are two storage methods. The first is to add 5% superphosphate to the chicken manure, stir it evenly, pile it up, and seal it with soil for later use; the second method is to store it in a vat, cover the surface with water, and seal the mouth of the vat tightly with plastic sheeting so that it fully ferments and decomposes, after about three months it can be used. When used as a base fertilizer, it can be scooped out and used directly; if used as a topdressing fertilizer, it can be diluted with more water.

2. Chicken manure is a heat-generating fertilizer and has a relatively good effect, but care should be taken never to use raw fertilizer or apply too much, and the principle of "apply thin fertilizer frequently" should be followed. When used as a base fertilizer, whether for ground planting or pot planting, it should be kept at least 5 cm away from the flower roots to prevent fertilizer damage.
