Use A Glove To Irrigate The Strawberry Seedlings !
This method can be called the glove-type root irrigation method.
This is a relatively novel and targeted way of irrigating strawberry roots. Its main advantages are as follows: Firstly, wearing gloves can better control the outflow and flow direction of the liquid medicine, avoiding waste and excessive spraying of the liquid medicine. This enables the liquid medicine to act on the strawberry roots more accurately and improves the efficiency and effectiveness of root irrigation. Secondly, gloves play a certain isolation role, reducing the risk of operators directly contacting the liquid medicine and providing certain protection for the human body.
However, this method may also have some limitations. For example, the operation is relatively cumbersome and may take some time to adapt to this special root irrigation method. At the same time, if the gloves are damaged and other situations occur, it may lead to liquid medicine leakage, affecting the root irrigation effect and even causing pollution to the surrounding environment.
In general, this glove-type root irrigation method can be used as an innovative attempt at strawberry root irrigation in specific circumstances. However, in practical applications, its feasibility and applicability need to be evaluated according to specific situations.
The following points should be noted when using the glove-type root irrigation method:
I. Glove selection
1. Appropriate material: Choose a glove material with good quality and strong corrosion resistance to ensure that it can effectively block the liquid medicine and prevent the liquid medicine from causing harm to the hands. For example, rubber gloves or professional protective gloves can be selected.
2. Appropriate size: Gloves should not be too large or too small. If they are too large, it is easy to cause inconvenience in operation and affect the precise control of the liquid medicine. If they are too small, they may cause pressure on the hands, be uncomfortable and affect blood circulation.
II. Use of medicine tube
1. Medicine tube specification: Choose a medicine tube with an appropriate diameter and length to ensure that it can be smoothly inserted into the glove and reach near the strawberry roots. The diameter of the medicine tube should not be too large to avoid affecting the sealing performance of the glove. The length should be moderate for convenient operation.
2. Firm fixation: The part where the medicine tube is connected to the glove should be firmly fixed to prevent the medicine tube from falling off during the root irrigation process and causing liquid medicine leakage. Tape or other fixing devices can be used for fixation.
III. Preparation of liquid medicine
1. Accurate concentration: Prepare the liquid medicine strictly according to the instructions on the pesticide label or under the guidance of professionals to ensure accurate liquid medicine concentration. Too high a concentration may cause phytotoxicity to strawberries, and too low a concentration may not achieve the effect of preventing and controlling pests and diseases or providing nutrition.
2. Even mixing: When preparing the liquid medicine, stir it evenly to fully dissolve the pesticide in water and avoid situations of too high or too low local concentration.
IV. Root irrigation operation
1. Control flow rate: During the root irrigation process, control the flow rate of the liquid medicine to avoid excessive flow rate leading to liquid medicine overflow or impact on the strawberry roots. Nor should the flow rate be too slow to affect the root irrigation efficiency.
2. Even irrigation: Try to distribute the liquid medicine evenly around the strawberry roots to ensure that each strawberry plant can be fully irrigated. You can slowly move the medicine tube to make the liquid medicine cover a wider area.
3. Avoid damage: During the operation, be careful and cautious to avoid the medicine tube or gloves touching the strawberry plant to avoid mechanical damage to the strawberries.
V. Safety protection
1. Personal protection: In addition to wearing gloves, operators should also wear other necessary protective equipment such as masks and goggles to prevent the liquid medicine from splashing or volatilizing and causing harm to the body.
2. Environmental safety: After root irrigation, properly handle the remaining liquid medicine and waste to avoid pollution to the environment. At the same time, pay attention to good ventilation in the strawberry field after root irrigation to reduce the impact of liquid medicine residues on the human body and the environment.
