What is the purpose of plant ash? What can be mixed with? What are the best partners
Grass ash is an ancient and common farm fertilizer, and farmers living in rural areas have long been familiar with its role and use. This plant ash is burned at high temperatures and is rich in potassium and various trace elements, which is extremely beneficial for plant growth. Grass ash has a variety of functions, not only as a potassium fertilizer to provide nutrients for crops, but also to promote root development, strengthen seedlings, flowering and fruiting, inhibit the occurrence of pests and diseases, loosen soil, regulate acidic environment, etc. Therefore, potash fertilizer is widely used in vegetable cultivation and is considered a safe and environmentally friendly fertilizer.
Grass ash can be used in a variety of ways, including as a base fertilizer, top dressing and foliar fertilizer. When used as a base fertilizer, plant ash can be mixed into the soil or applied to planting furrows. When used as a supplementary fertilizer, plant ash can be buried in a ditch and applied or watered with water, or dry plant ash can be sprinkled directly on plant leaves. When used as foliar fertilizer, plant ash can be mixed with water and sprayed on the leaf surface of plants. However, it should be noted that plant ash cannot be mixed with acidic fertilizers (especially acidic fertilizers), and it is best to use it alone, and it is best to use it in layers with organic fertilizers.
Grass ash can also be mixed with other substances to enhance its effects. The first is a mixture of superphosphate, which produces potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which plays a role in promoting plant growth. The mixing method is to mix plant ash, superphosphate and water, then soak it for a period of time before spraying it on the crop leaves. After that, it is mixed with sodium bicarbonate, which also has the effect of preventing diseases and insects and increasing photosynthesis, and can be mixed with plant ash to better play the role of preventing diseases and insects. The mixing method is to soak plant ash and baking soda in water, filter it and sprinkle it on top of the vegetables. Finally, it is mixed with tea bran, which is an alkaline substance with a good insect repellent effect and is a natural organic fertilizer. The mixture of plant ash and tea bran can be used as a base fertilizer to control underground pests, or it can be soaked in water and sprayed on the leaves to control surface pests.
In conclusion, as an ancient and practical fertilizer, plant ash plays an important role in rural farming. It can not only provide potassium and trace elements for crops, but also promote plant growth, prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases, and also have the effect of regulating soil pH and loose soil. Through reasonable use and collocation, plant ash can better play its role and improve the yield and quality of vegetables.
There are many application scenarios for the use and mixing of plant ash, and different crops and different soil conditions will be suitable for different forms of use. Therefore, in actual use, it is necessary to choose flexibly according to the specific situation. When using plant ash, care should also be taken to avoid mixing with acidic fertilizers to prevent chemical reactions and affect the fertilization effect. In addition, it is important to ensure the quality and purity of plant ash when using it in order to get the best results when fertilizing.
As a traditional backyard fertilizer, although there are some alternatives in modern agriculture, grass ash is still widely used as a green fertilizer. For those who like to grow vegetables, the versatility of plant ash is a good choice, it not only provides nutrients to crops, but also prevents pests and diseases and promotes plant growth. With the correct use and combination, it can better play its function and improve the yield and quality of vegetables. In the future planting process, we can choose the correct fertilization method and collocation according to our own needs and soil conditions to achieve better planting results.
