Tips for Planting Vegetables during Dragon Boat Festival

1. For vegetables grown during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is better to choose heat-resistant and fast-growing vegetables. In high temperature and high humidity seasons, diseases and insect pests are more likely to occur. In vegetable cultivation, promotion is often the main approach, and early-maturing and fast-growing varieties are selected, which can also shorten the growth time of vegetables during high temperature periods.

2. When planting vegetables during the Dragon Boat Festival, insect pests are also a common problem, especially for some leafy vegetables. Aphids, whiteflies, cabbage worms, diamondback moths and other pests may occur. Pay attention to the use of some insecticidal lamps, insect-proof nets, etc. for prevention and control, with physical prevention as the main method and chemical control as the auxiliary method.

3. When planting vegetables during the Dragon Boat Festival, you should pay attention to controlling the density between plants. If they are too dense, you need to prune them appropriately and strengthen ventilation and light transmission between plants to prevent the occurrence of various diseases. Intercropping vegetables with other crops can also effectively reduce the degree of damage caused by some diseases and pests.
