Harvesting hollowbeet is a widely grown vegetable. Some are grown on their own open spaces and some are grown by farmers on large areas. Timely harvesting of hollowbeets is key to ensuring a good yield. Do you know when and how to harvest your holloware? When is the best time to harvest vaccinium? How many days can I choose? Spinach is usually 35 to 45 days after planting. When the cabbages grow to about 30 to 35 centimeters, they can be harvested in time. Generally, cabbage is picked every 7 to 10 days, sown from March to July and harvested from May to September. Nitrogen fertilizer and watering should be applied once after each harvest to promote branch growth and improve yield and quality.
De-weeding between tillage is an important and necessary task in the cultivation of hollow cabbage, because hollow cabbage plants are relatively short, with shallow root systems and weak nutrient absorption capacity. Not timely plowing and weeding will not only affect the absorption of nutrients in the roots, but the weeds will also take away nutrients from the water spinach, resulting in poor growth of hollow heart. Hollow core is a plant that lives in the tropics. It has higher temperature requirements and is adapted to live in hot environments.
During harvesting, if you find that the hollow heart grows too dense or too thin, you can remove some old roots, which can increase the absorption of water and fertilizer, which can promote the growth of new roots, and can keep the new branches strong. How to harvest cabbages? There are two ways you can harvest your cabbages. The easiest way is to harvest it all at once. When the spinach grows to about 35 centimeters, it is uprooted. However, this method of harvesting yields a relatively low yield, usually about 1,500 kilograms per acre. The second method is to harvest multiple times in batches. When the hollow stem first grows to about 35 centimeters, the young stems are harvested and the underground roots are retained as well as a small portion of the stem and leaves left in the ground. After 7 to 10 days, harvest again.
After the first and second harvests, 2 to 3 nodes should be left at the bottom of the cabbages to encourage the germination of new shoots after harvest, promote lateral growth and increase yields. After 3 or 4 harvests, the cavies must be re-harvested. Only 1 to 2 nodes remain at the bottom of the hollowbush. If too many vines are left behind, too many lateral branches will grow, which will result in weaker and slower plant growth, which will affect yield and quality. This multiple harvesting method produces relatively high yields, usually about 5,000 kilograms per acre. During multiple harvests, branches and leaves should be removed in a timely manner to prevent premature plant senescence. After multiple harvests, the harvest of hollowbeets is very high and therefore requires a lot of fertilizer. After each harvest, you can apply quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer in time and use it together with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to achieve high yield. You can't just harvest and ignore fertilization.
