Friends who grow pea seedlings know that watering is a technical job. That's right, the saplings are long, the yield is double; it's wrong, it's nothing. After years of practice and technical summary, the old farmers have identified three key water-watering opportunities, known as “water for life, water for long, water for increased production”. Today, let's talk about the three watering doors。
Water for life: first sip after planting
This first “water for life” is not just a matter of water。
Before planting, we have to fill the pea seeds. The selected seeds are immersed in water, and the cold generally takes more than 16 hours, 8-12 hours above 20 degrees, until the capacity of the beans is more than doubled. This step is to awaken the seeds and to store sufficient moisture for the bud。
When the seeds are simmered and laid on the seedlings, the true “water of life” should be poured. At this point, the water is to be poured out completely, so that the seeds and matrix are fully wet. The water was then sprayed 1-2 times a day and the matrix was humid。
At this stage, hydrologic management directly affects seed rates. When water is scarce, seeds lose their vitality; however, too much water can rot. So it's the life-saving water that matters。
Prolonged water: “accelerant” with roots
When the peas were sprouts, they entered the rapid long term. And then the second track of “promoting water”。
Usually the roots grow the day after planting. From that point onwards, water is sprayed once a day, in the middle of the day and at night, so that it remains wet. By the third day, when the penis comes out, it has to be wet, at least three times a day. This will allow the growth of soybean seedlings to accelerate, as the dry environment can easily lead to the death of the soybean seed。
The water is called “promoting water” because it directly relates to the growth rate of pea seedlings. The water is abundant and the plants are visible on a daily basis; the water is inadequate, growth is stagnant and even the previous long ones are decaying。
Increased production of water: “nutrient” before harvest
The third key water is “increased production”, which is particularly important before harvesting。
When peas grow to 10-15 cm high and close to harvesting, this watering becomes particularly critical. This should be done in sufficient quantities to ensure that the plant is not short of water during its final growth, so as to improve its yield and quality。
At that time, the area of peas leaves increased, the evaporation was strong and the amount of water required increased. Inadequate water supplies directly affect yields, leading to fibrosis and poor oral perception. The right “water increase” will make peas fresh and juicy and yield much better。
Experienced old farmers say, “this water is well watered and yields can increase by a factor or two.”
Science is good
It is not simply pouring water on a seedling, but also scientific。
Water should preferably be sprayed so that the water is even and does not hit the seedlings. In the absence of spray equipment, canteens can also be sprayed with light eyes。
Watering is also timed. During high summer temperatures, water will be poured more frequently, three to four times a day in the middle of the day, and one to two times a day in the middle of the day. The water is wet in the inner base of the seedlings at each time, with fresh drops。
Also, water quality is important. It would be preferable to use running water or clean groundwater. Avoid the use of contaminated water sources to avoid affecting the quality and food safety of seedlings。
Common water management error zone
Many beginners grow pea seedlings, which tend to follow water issues. The following are common errors:
- just think it's pouring water every day. In fact, pea seedlings are afraid to accumulate water, which can cause rotten roots and disease. So stay moist and don't accumulate water。
The second is to ignore weather factors. Water should be poured three times on the same day, not in the same amount as in the rainy days. The amount of evaporation during high weather temperatures should be increased as appropriate, and the amount of water should be reduced as the air in the rainy weather becomes wet。
Thirdly, the day of the harvest was also watered as usual. It is recommended that water be properly controlled prior to harvesting and then watered half day after harvesting, which would be more conducive to healing the wounds and avoiding the occurrence of disease。
Remember these three key waters, the pea seedlings that are grown must be very productive. In fact, growing bean seedlings is like caring for a child, hungry for food, thirsty for water, and it grows up healthy。
