How to increase soil temperature, root and cultivate roots in winter greenhouses?

Why should we pay attention to root maintenance? Due to the lack of developed root systems, crops cannot absorb nutrients from the soil well, and are also prone to infection with diseases and pests, resulting in a decrease in yield.

The roots grow in the soil, and in order for them to grow well, it is necessary to provide a suitable environment. However, the decrease in winter temperature also affects the healthy growth environment of crop roots, leading to poor root growth and development.

When the soil temperature is too low in winter, what details should be paid attention to when planting to ensure the healthy growth of crop roots?

01

1、 Ridging

Generally speaking, when planting, it is recommended to ridge the soil, especially when the groundwater level is relatively high. If the soil is not ridged and planted directly on flat ground, it is likely to cause water accumulation and root rotting. If ridging is done, it can effectively improve this problem. The height of the ridge is approximately 20-30cm, which can further deepen the soil layer for the development of plant roots, especially the soil where the ridges are formed, which has been carefully sorted and is very suitable for the growth of roots in the earliest seedling stage.

Another thing to note is that before planting, water the soil first to make it moist before planting. In this case, the water will seep downwards, and the roots will also root downwards.

2、 Moisture control

Before planting, some water will be poured first, so that the roots will grow downwards. Then, for a period of time, the water content needs to be controlled.

In order to better absorb water, the roots will plant deeper, and if too much water is poured at this time, the seedlings are prone to vigorous growth, which is not conducive to later fruiting. The time for water control is about half a month, so it is necessary to water the previous time thoroughly.

3、 Geomembrane

Sometimes when planting in colder weather, many people are afraid that plants will be covered with a layer of plastic film due to freezing. This has many benefits, such as reducing water loss and protecting soil temperature. However, it is also important to pay attention to the time of covering the plastic film. It is best not to cover it too early. If it is covered too early, the surface temperature of the soil will become very suitable for crop growth, so that the roots will not penetrate downwards. If encountering any cold current, crops are easily frostbitten. So it is recommended to wait until half a month has passed before covering the ground film.

4、 Rooting agent

The growth of roots requires the absorption of fertilizers and nutrients. Generally, the absorption of fertilizers is concentrated in the root hair area, and the soil temperature below 5cm is relatively low in winter. Frequent watering can also lower the soil temperature. Therefore, when using fertilizers for drip irrigation, it is important to pay attention and use Budweiser root meal organic water-soluble fertilizer.

Efficacy of Budweiser Degen Le Meal Organic Water Soluble Fertilizer Products

1. It can increase soil temperature, improve the obstacles to nutrient absorption caused by crops with low temperatures, and alleviate damage caused by factors such as root damage.

2. Balanced nutrition with well-developed root systems, strong stems, dark green leaves, enhanced photosynthesis, and healthy and vibrant plants.

3. Protecting flowers and fruits, increasing fruit setting rate, promoting fruit swelling and coloring, improving fruit quality, and increasing yield and income.

4. Improve the stress resistance of crops, improve soil environment, have strong adaptability to stress, good disease resistance, and enhance the activity of crop antioxidant enzyme systems.

For planting, taking good care of the roots of crops is the most important. Only when the roots grow well can the crops on top grow well. Therefore, when planting, pay attention to the above four small details, which can definitely make the crops grow better.
