In the growth process of the pepper tree, the weeds will grow with the pepper tree, which will not only affect the absorption of nutrients by the pepper tree, but also be said by the villagers, you see who is lazy in the house, and the grass grows in the crops"One person tall"Finish. Of course, it is a joke, people often say that people are diligent and spring comes early, and a harvest is a harvest!
In rural areas, pepper farmers often say: the root system of pepper is shallow, and weeds and trees compete for fertilizer seriously. There are also folk proverbs"If the pepper is not weeded, it will wither and grow old that year"said.
In Fuping Meiping Town, Caocun Town, Gongli Town, Didian, Xue Zhenbei, North Meiyuan and other places are lined up, basically all of them are mountainous, belonging to the plateau, the drop is also large, the spring drought and little rain, there are many kinds of weeds in the field, thorn wattle, cow tendon grass, dog tail grass, teff, purslane and artemisia are all difficult, farmers are also very distressed.
So how can we reduce the competition between weeds and pepper trees for nutrients?
Apply herbicides
Herbicide is a chemical weeding method developed by chemical experts in the past 10 years or so. It is suitable for pepper fields with large areas of weeds.
Benefits::Weeding is immediate and effective.
Disadvantage:It has a certain impact on the growth and quality of Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees, and repeated use will damage the soil organic matter and destroy the root growth of Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees.
Note:Do not hit the tree with herbicide.
Recommendations:The use of herbicides is not recommended.
Cultivating and hoeing
Turn the land, generally in the pepper flowering season, June, winter each once, usually manual hoeing. Cultivating is not a specific number of times a year, but depends on the age of the tree, the environment of the local soil, and the speed of weed growth.
Benefits::The soil becomes loose, reducing water evaporation and preventing the soil from compacting and growing weeds.
Disadvantage:Excessive ploughing of the ground destroys the soil structure.
Mulching weeding
In rural areas, corn and wheat are grown, and corn stalks and wheat straw can be directly covered on the ground. According to the size of the pepper tree, control the coverage area by yourself. In winter, it is windy, remember to cover it and press it down with earth to prevent it from being blown away by strong winds. Covered with combustibles, you must remember to prevent fire, be diligent, and go around the field more.
Benefits::After mulching is returned to the field, it can increase the organic matter of the soil, and the mulched straw can effectively prevent the growth of weeds.
Disadvantage:Fear of fire.
Suggestion: The mulching straw is not too thick, and the new mulch should be replaced in time in the autumn after returning to the field.
Grow rapeseed
In the pepper field, you can interplant old rapeseed for returning to the field, which can not only increase the organic matter of the soil, but also improve the soil environment. It is also important to note that interplanting crops should not be higher than pepper trees.
Benefits::It reduces the growth of weeds and increases soil organic matter, which is a natural organic fertilizer.
Cons:It's hard to grasp how much to intercrop.
The above is in agricultural planting, farmers on the pepper field weeding management of some small experience, after practice mulching straw weeding effect is the best, but mulching weeding method is also a point that people often ignore.
