Planting lotus roots to build lotus ponds?

Choose the soil for planting lotus roots, which can be planted in ponds, river bends, depressions and rice fields. The reason is that the soil is rich in organic matter. Dig the land deeply, apply base fertilizer, increase soil nutrient content, and facilitate the growth of lotus root. The height of the pond is preferably between 1.2- 1.5m, with abundant sunshine, convenient water supply and drainage and lotus roots.

Lotus seeds have a hard shell, so we need to gently break the concave part of the shell and soak the seeds in water at 30℃ for a period of time. When the lotus root grows to 4 leaves with 1 whip, it can be transplanted into the seedbed. When three leaves grow on the top, the temperature is about 65438 05℃.

The fertilizer of lotus root generally depends on the fat and thin soil. When applying human manure or agricultural fertilizer, the key fertilizer should also be applied twice during the growth and development of lotus root, the first time is 40 days after sowing and the second time is one week before spreading leaves. The fertilizer should also be applied once during the sitting period of lotus root to keep the lotus pond nutritious and improve the quality of lotus root. In the late growth period of lotus root, it will catch up.

During the growth of lotus root, the water level in the lotus pond should be kept within 10㎝. With the hot weather and rising temperature, the water will evaporate rapidly. At this time, the water supply should be sufficient, the water level should reach 50㎝, and the water level of lotus root should be controlled at 8㎝ when it grows to starch stage. After planting for one month, the floating leaves began to turn yellow.

When the lotus root is harvested, some lotus leaves should be removed and dried in the sun. This can stop the breathing and growth of lotus root, remove the rust spots of lotus root itself, make the lotus root dug out cleaner and increase the beauty of lotus root. When we find that the leaves of lotus root turn red and wither, it means that lotus root can be harvested. When digging lotus roots, we need to drain the water in the lotus pond and then dig lotus roots with a shovel. We need to dig out the lotus root carefully, because if we don't pay attention to it, it will go bad, which will affect our sales. The dug lotus roots will be placed in a cool and dry place, cleaned and shipped to all parts of the country by freight.
