How to Weed Daylily? Methods and Precautions Explained
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 large, so it attracts many people to grow it. However, during cultivation, weeds cause serious harm and often affect the 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 lower labor costs but is time-consuming and labor-intensive. 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 done at any time. Strengthen inspection at ordinary times. Once weeds are found, pull them out promptly, and remove them as soon as they are seen. Chemical weeding is suitable before and after a large number of weeds sprout at the seedling stage. At this time, when the soil is moist, it is the best period for weeding. In the north, the weeding time for daylily should be controlled by applying chemicals after rain. When the temperature is above 33°C, stop applying chemicals to avoid pesticide volatilization causing daylily pesticide damage. From half a month before daylily bolting to the harvest period, chemical herbicides should not be used for weeding.
3. Spraying Method
When spraying chemicals at the daylily seedling stage, the nozzle should be kept some distance above the top of the plant, and drift spraying should be adopted. When daylily leaves are about to cover the soil, lower the nozzle and adopt targeted spraying for inter-row weeding, trying to spray the liquid on the weeds between 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 different contents of active ingredients and different dosages. Therefore, when using them, strictly control the dosage, and remember not to use too much or too little, so as to ensure the weeding effect without affecting crop growth.
