Basic requirements for vegetable planting:
market investigation
Before choosing land, you must consider the sale, otherwise, inappropriate choices will bring difficulties to future product sales. The land should be irrigated with water and facilities to prevent flooding, so that fertile land can be irrigated by drought and waterlogging can drain.
Variety selection
It is necessary to make a good selection of varieties. Good varieties have strong resistance to diseases and insect pests, high yield, long shelf life, and good quality. They are much better than ordinary varieties in all aspects. It is very important to choose a good variety. Although the cost of purchasing high-quality seedlings will increase, based on the most important quality considerations, vegetable farmers should still choose a good variety.
Planting Techniques
Planting technology plays a decisive role in vegetable production. Good technology and good mode have a great influence on the yield and quality of vegetables. In the greenhouse of Shouguang vegetable farmers, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants all grow to a height of 1.8-2 meters, and the yields are more than 30,000 jin. In vegetable planting, it is necessary to observe and analyze more frequently, and deal with problems as soon as possible, without delay, so as to avoid major losses.
Fertilizer input
Due to the selection of good varieties and good planting techniques, the yield of vegetables is relatively high, and the picking period is relatively long. This requires sufficient fertilizer. In Shouguang, vegetable farmers use 15 cubic meters of chicken manure and 100 kilograms of compound fertilizer per acre as base fertilizer. In some places, if there is a lack of trace elements, this amount of fertilizer needs to be supplemented. In the process of vegetable picking, it is necessary to use decomposed organic fertilizer as top dressing.
Grafting
In recent years, vegetables such as eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, watermelons, cucumbers have to be grafted. The grafted vegetables grow vigorously, have high yields, and have a long picking period, especially for root nematodes, verticillium wilt and other diseases and insect pests. The basic elimination of the two diseases can greatly reduce the use of pesticides and is suitable for the production of pollution-free vegetables.
Hormone Treatment
The flowers treated with hormones have a high fruit-setting rate and grow quickly without seeds. The anthers prepared by Shouguang vegetable farmers are very effective. The flower king configured with multiple hormones can keep the cucumber flowers never withering and keep them just opening It seems that the price per catty of cucumbers with flowers in the market is more than two cents higher than those without flowers.
Manual input
With the growth of market demand, consumers’ requirements for the quality of vegetables have also increased. High-quality vegetables can be sold at a good price, while poor-quality vegetables are at a low price. This requires us to do fine management in the production of vegetables. Only when fine management is in place can the quality and quality of vegetables be improved and sold at a good price. In this way, more labor is invested than extensive management. Under normal circumstances, a worker can manage 2-3 acres of solanaceous vegetables.
