12 for plant ash.

12 uses of plant ash: keeping peppers fresh, storing potatoes and sweet potatoes, storing seeds, preventing root rot of fruit trees, preventing root maggots, covering Pleurotus ostreatus culture medium, inhibiting the occurrence of pests and diseases, preventing bacterial blight, preventing powdery mildew, preventing seedling diseases, raising ground temperature and preventing aphids.

1, fresh pepper. Spread a layer of plant ash on the bottom of bamboo baskets or other storage utensils, then spread a layer of kraft paper, and then spread a layer of pepper and a layer of plant ash, and store them in a cool room (note: water should not be immersed in plant ash when storing). This method can store peppers for four or five months.

2. Store potatoes and sweet potatoes. Choose potatoes and sweet potatoes without wounds, and cover them with plant ash. The storage period can reach half a year. The method mainly utilizes the functions of plant ash in moisture absorption, heat absorption, heat preservation and inhibition of biological activities.

Step 3 store seeds. Prepare tanks, tanks and other containers, wash them and dry them, then spread them on the bottom with plant ash, spread a layer of kraft paper on them, put the seeds on the kraft paper, and seal them with plastic film. The storage effect is good, which is beneficial to the whole seedling.

4. Control root rot of fruit trees. When root rot of fruit trees is found, the soil around the root rot is removed, covered with plant ash, and then covered with sterile soil. Soon, the root rot can be cured.

5. Control root maggots. When leek and garlic are found to be harmful to root maggots, plant ash can be used to control their adults and root maggots.

6. Cover with Pleurotus ostreatus medium. Pleurotus ostreatus sown in early spring is easy to be polluted by miscellaneous bacteria because of its low temperature and slow mycelium development. If a layer of plant ash is sprinkled on the surface, the greenhouse effect of the bed can be enhanced and the mycelium development can be promoted. Plant ash can also provide certain nutrition for mycelium, play a barrier role and inhibit the growth of miscellaneous bacteria. Covering plant ash in early spring can advance the fruiting period by 10 days and increase the yield by about 20%.

7, inhibit the occurrence of pests and diseases. Plant ash is alkaline with fine particles. If you come into contact with soft pests such as adults, wheat aphids, wheat spiders, wheat sawflies, etc. , can block its stomata, cause physiological disorders, and kill some pests. The application of plant ash can also inhibit the occurrence of wheat scab, stripe rust and powdery mildew.

8. Prevention and control of bacterial diseases. Plant ash 10 kg, tea cake 10 kg, sulfur powder 1 kg, lime 15 kg were evenly mixed and sprinkled on rice fields per mu, which could effectively prevent the occurrence of bacterial blight in rice fields.

9. Control powdery mildew. For fruit trees and flowers with powdery mildew, the root soil with a depth of 10-20cm should be dug at the distance from the trunk 10-5cm, and each plant should be applied with 10-20k g plant ash, and then covered with a thin layer of soil, and the cure rate can reach over 80%.

10, seedling disease control. Fruit tree and flower nurseries, dry land crops and vegetables are prone to damping-off and anthracnose at seedling stage, and in severe cases, a large number of seedlings die. Plant ash can be used to sow along the ridge, with the dosage of 30-50kg per mu, which can effectively prevent the virus from occurring.

1 1, increase the ground temperature. In winter, covering the base of Zanthoxylum bungeanum with a layer of plant ash can increase the ground temperature and prevent the root from freezing injury.

12, control aphids. Using 10 kg of plant ash and 50 kg of water, soaking for one day and night and spraying the filtrate can control aphids on fruit trees.

Advantages of plant ash in Pond Culture

1, has the function of preventing fish diseases: it has the function of sterilization and disinfection, plays a very important role in the prevention and treatment of fish diseases, and can effectively kill various pathogens in fish; This can reduce the use of fishery drugs, improve the quality of cultured aquatic products in Pizhou, ensure the quality and safety of aquatic products, and remove moss.

2. It can increase fertilizer efficiency. In addition, it is a good auxiliary material as a water shading material when killing moss.

3. Regular application has the function of regulating and purifying water quality: applying 70- 120kg plant ash per mu of water surface can increase the PH value of ponds with water depth 1m to 7.5-8.5, which is beneficial to the reproduction of zooplankton (increasing the contents of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other elements in water), providing sufficient and high-quality natural bait for fish, improving the transparency of water body, and.
