Pest and pest control in Xiaohongyi
As a star breed in the meat world, Xiaohongyi is favored by gardening enthusiasts for its unique rosette shape. However, during the maintenance process, pest and disease problems often catch growers unprepared. This paper will systematically analyze the characteristics of common pests and diseases in Xiaohongyi and provide practical control plans. Analysis of the pathogenesis of Xiaohongzi pests and diseases The cause of the formation of fatal black rot Black rot is the number one killer of succulent plants, with an incidence rate of as high as 78% in summer with high temperatures and humidity. When the ambient temperature exceeds 30℃ and air circulation is not smooth, brown water-stained patches will appear at the base of Xiaohongyi leaves, which can spread to the entire plant within 48 hours. It is worth noting that in addition to environmental factors, wounds caused by scale insects are also an important channel for bacteria to invade. Ecological characteristics of scale insects This white waxy pest prefers to gather in leaf axils and root systems and absorb plant juice through piercing and sucking mouthparts. A single adult can lay 30-50 eggs a day. If not treated in time, when the insect population density reaches 5/cm², it will lead to plant metabolic disorders, which will be characterized by typical symptoms such as leaf shrinkage and growth arrest. The Xiaohongyi pest and disease prevention and control system builds a triple protection for environmental control and uses a mixed matrix of volcanic rock + perlite with a particle proportion of 70% to ensure that drainage performance meets the standard. Daily maintenance maintains a daily ventilation period of more than 4 hours, and hanging basin cultivation is used to enhance air circulation in summer. Watering strictly follows the principle of "see wet when it is dry" and cooperates with bamboo long-spout pots to implement precise root irrigation. The scientific ratio of chemical protection should be mixed with carbofuran granules at a ratio of 1:500 when changing pots to establish a long-term protective layer. Spray 800 times of 70% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder regularly every month, focusing on the back of leaves and base of stems. In the early stage of pest detection, immediately use 40% omethoate emulsifiable concentrate 1500 times solution for targeted removal. Xiaohongyi Pest and Pests Emergency Response Plan for Black Rot Disease Rescue Four-Step Method Isolate the diseased plant immediately after it is discovered, and 2cm of healthy parts should be retained when removing the diseased tissue. Apply sulfur powder or mancozeb suspension to the incision, place in a cool place and dry for 72 hours until the wound surface is completely scarred. Use high-temperature sterilized vermiculite as the rooting medium and maintain the ambient temperature at around 25℃. New roots can germinate for about 15-20 days.
By establishing a management system that focuses on prevention and combines prevention and control, the incidence of pests and diseases in Xiaohongyi can be reduced by more than 60%. Growers are advised to conduct systematic inspections every quarter, paying special attention to environmental regulation during the transition between spring and autumn. With the correct maintenance methods, this fleshy pearl will surely bloom with lasting charm on your windowsill.
