The role of sulfur powder in plant cultivation

As a chemically acidic compound, sulfur powder plays an important role in many fields. Today we focus on the use of sulfur powder in plant cultivation, whether it is vegetables or flowers and fruit trees, sulfur powder has the functions of sterilizing and antiseptic, neutralizing acid and alkali, accelerating plant wound healing and preventing insect damage. Can play a role in promoting growth and development.

 

If there is a wound on the trunk of the plant, it is easy for some fruit trees to produce wounds. If we apply an appropriate amount of sulfur powder to its roots and wounds, it can inhibit the production of wounds and prevent the wound from infection and rot. Healing effect.

 

Cut off rotten roots and spray sulfur powder on wounds and roots to control rotten roots, promote new roots, and quickly restore growth. When the rotten roots of the big tree turn yellow, the root soil should be cut open, and after cutting the rotten roots, sulphur powder should be sprinkled on the roots to cover with fresh sterile soil, which can prevent the rotten roots from continuing and restore normal growth.

 

Sulfur is a multifunctional medicament, besides having bactericidal effect, it can also kill mites and insects. Sulfur is also used to regulate soil pH. Blueberries are suitable for growing in acidic soil, which requires a soil pH between 4.5 and 5.5. As the popularity of blueberries increases, more people are more interested in quickly improving soil pH. The lowest cost of lowering soil pH is to add elemental sulfur to the soil, which is converted to sulfuric acid by soil bacteria, lowering soil pH.

 

Prevent cuttings and flower arrangements from rotting. When camellia, rhododendron and other forest fruits and flowers are raised by cuttings, dipping the base of the cuttings with sulfur powder and then cuttings can effectively prevent the cuttings from rotting and greatly improve the survival rate. Dipping the base of the flower arrangement with sulfur powder can prevent the cuttings from rotting, reduce the decay rate, and prolong the viewing period of the flower arrangement.

 

Anti-saline hazards. In the waterlogged and hardened saline-alkali soil, a certain amount of sulfur powder can be applied to adjust the pH value of the soil, reduce the salinity, and promote the normal growth of fruit and flowers.

 

Anti-marriage interface rot. In the process of plant grafting, the graft joint often rots, so we spray an appropriate amount of sulphur powder on the graft joint before grafting, and then place it in a rain-proof and shaded place, so as to effectively avoid the graft joint from rot. The situation appears, thereby increasing the graft survival rate.
