1. Adequate sunlight

Chives are relatively light-loving and must be exposed to light for 12 hours every day during their growth period. When managing, the straw curtain should be opened when the sun rises in the morning, and covered again after the sun sets in the afternoon. Even in rainy weather, the film must be formed, and artificial lighting should be provided when necessary.

2. Timely topdressing

It is relatively tolerant to fertilizer and has a relatively large demand for ammonia fertilizer during its growth period. Therefore, it is necessary to apply decomposed farmyard manure and compound fertilizer in time to meet its nutrient needs, thereby promoting growth and increasing yield and quality. Note that top dressing should be applied after each harvest. It is recommended that this be done simultaneously with watering to facilitate faster absorption of nutrients.

3. Watering in moderation

It also has a high demand for water, which must be maintained at around 65% during the growing period. The water should not be too much, otherwise the soil will easily become compacted, which will hinder root respiration and easily lead to root rot. In addition, water the plants every 10 days before harvest.

4. Loosen the soil appropriately

If you want it to grow better, you have to do a good job of loosening the soil. Loosening the soil not only promotes growth but also increases soil temperature. It is recommended to loosen the soil once after each watering. The specific depth of loosening the soil should be the same as the height of the side ridges, so as to ensure the same growth rate. The depth of loosening the soil and the condition of the soil determine the quality and yield of chives.
