Cultivation methods and precautions of nestweed

Cultivation methods and precautions of nestweed

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Nestia is relatively cold-resistant and will grow as long as the temperature is above zero degrees. When the temperature for sowing is around ten degrees, the seedlings will emerge and grow. They are not resistant to high temperatures. If the temperature exceeds thirty degrees, the plants will grow slowly.

2. Watering: It likes a humid living environment and the soil should be kept moist for a long time. The plant consumes a lot of water during the branching and green pod stages, so it needs to be supplemented with water. If the soil remains dry for a long time, the plant will grow poorly. It needs to be watered once every week.

3. Fertilization: During the growth process, it consumes phosphorus quickly, so the plant is prone to having more nitrogen and less phosphorus. During this period, it is necessary to use phosphorus fertilizer to ensure the balance of nitrogen and phosphorus, which can also promote future yields. The frequency of fertilization is once a month.

4. Light: It cannot accept strong light exposure, which will affect its growth. Therefore, the lighting method should be mainly diffuse light, and the lighting time should be guaranteed to be four hours a day.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by sowing. First, you need to mix base fertilizer into the soil. Generally, 1,500 kilograms of organic fertilizer is used per acre of land. Sow the selected seeds into the soil using the row sowing method, with a row spacing of 30 cm to ensure moisture retention. Cover them with soil after sowing and water them with manure. Generally, seedlings will emerge in a week.

2. Weeding: Weeds often grow in places where it is grown. In order to avoid weeds competing with plants for nutrients, weeding should be done regularly. When weeding, be careful not to spray pesticides on the nest vegetable.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: The plants are easily infected by pests such as caterpillars and blind bugs. If found, use pesticides to spray and kill the insects.

2. Disease: After the plants emerge, they should be sprayed with carbendazim frequently to enhance their disease resistance. It is susceptible to powdery mildew and leaf spot. If infected, the diseased seedlings should be pulled out and destroyed as soon as possible to avoid further infection, and then the plants should be sprayed with pesticides for prevention and control.

IV. Other issues

1. Edibility: It cannot be eaten, but it can be used as medicine.

2. Toxicity: It is poisonous during the flowering period, so avoid contact with its juice during the maintenance process. Wear gloves and masks when operating. If you accidentally come into contact with the juice, you need to wash it with clean water and then seek medical attention as soon as possible.
