Plant ash is indeed too common in rural areas. As long as someone makes a fire at home and cooks, there will be vegetation ash. Although plant ash is very common and common in rural areas, farmers never know how to throw away the plant ash, but only collect it. So what is the use of this plant ash?

Effectiveness 1: Used as fertilizer for crops. For crops such as leeks, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, plant ash is the most important fertilizer during the growth and development of these crops. This is because plant ash contains a large amount of zinc, which is very important in crops such as leeks, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. During the growth and development of these crops, zinc is required in large amounts, so plant ash becomes an indispensable fertilizer in the growth and development of these crops.

Effectiveness 2: Heal wounds. In rural areas, after harvesting leeks, in order to prevent germs from entering the leeks along with the wounds of the leeks, they will sprinkle some plant ash into the leek field. This is because the plant ash has the effect of promoting wound repair. . In addition to using plant ash to repair leeks, farmers also use it to repair wounds after grafting fruit trees. In addition to quickly healing wounds on vegetables, fruits, and peach trees, plant ash can also be used to quickly heal wounds on fruits, vegetables, and peach trees. In the past, when rural medical insurance was still very poor, farmers would sprinkle some plant ash on the wound if they were accidentally scratched or bruised while doing farm work. , the bleeding wound will heal quickly in a short period of time.

Effect three: improve land quality. In the past, when organic fertilizers were not yet popular, farmers would use organic fertilizers to supplement the nutrients needed for crops. However, as organic fertilizers become more popular, the use of organic fertilizers is getting lower and lower, and the soil layer is affected by the use of organic fertilizers. Too much organic fertilizer will degrade the soil and affect the normal growth and development of crops. Sprinkling appropriate amounts of plant ash on the degraded soil layer can improve the agglomerated soil layer and restore the loose soil layer.

The fourth function is to prevent diseases. When many farmers encounter pests and diseases while growing vegetables, they do not use pesticides but only use plant ash to eliminate pests. Plant ash is alkaline, and the best living conditions for many pests are acidic environments. Spraying diluted plant ash water on vegetables and fruits with pests and diseases can destroy the living conditions of pests, thereby reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases. In addition to being used to deal with above-ground pests, plant ash can also be used to deal with underground pests. When planting leeks, sweet potatoes and other crops, underground pests often occur. These underground pests will eat the rhizomes of leeks, sweet potatoes and other crops, harming the growth and development of the crops. These underground pests are especially difficult to eradicate, and they are especially difficult to eradicate when there are plant ash. Spreading some plant ash under crops can destroy the living conditions of underground pests, thereby avoiding and eliminating underground pests.
