Wuta, also known as grass psyllium and ground brocade, is a common perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the plantain family. In winter, the growth of wutatami is affected by low temperatures, so proper overwintering management is required to ensure the health and growth of the plants. Here are some suggestions on how to survive the winter in the winter:
Trim & Clean:Proper pruning and cleaning is necessary before the winter season. Pruning off leaves and shoots that are too long, too old, sick or dead can help provide ventilation and reduce the growth of pests and diseases.
Cover for warmth:For the wutatami that grows in the open air, it can be provided with mulch, such as straw curtains, agricultural mulch, etc., in the cold winter to keep it warm. Mulch can effectively slow down the cooling rate of the soil and reduce the risk of freezing of plants.
Thickened protective layer:Laying an organic mulch around the roots of the cabbage, such as straw, hay or leaves, helps to increase the insulation of the soil. This protective layer prevents the soil from plummeting in temperature and slows down the formation of permafrost.
Watering moderately:In winter, avoid overwatering the wutatami to avoid over-moist soil and root rot. Keeping it moderately moist can help keep the plant alive, but adjust the watering frequency according to the actual situation.
Avoid frost damage:In view of the possibility of severe cold weather, additional measures can be taken on colder days, such as thickening the mulch, digging pits and burying, etc., to prevent freezing from causing damage to the plants.
Pay attention to pest control:Winter is the season of high incidence of certain pests and diseases, so it is necessary to pay attention to whether the vegetables are attacked by pests or germs. Regular inspections, such as the discovery of pests and diseases, timely take control measures.
Winter health care:In winter, the plant enters the dormant period, and the growth rate of the plant is slower. At this time, the frequency of fertilization should be reduced and the nutrients should be provided to meet the basic needs of the plants.
Monitoring the temperature:Pay regular attention to the weather forecast and stay abreast of changes in local temperatures. According to the ** of the temperature, adjust the corresponding cold protection and warmth measures.
Through the above reasonable winter management, it can effectively protect the Wuta-ta, reduce the risk of freezing, and promote the healthy growth of the plant. Management strategies need to be adjusted according to the local climate and specific conditions to ensure that the vegetables are properly protected in winter.
