The invention discloses a method for middle-late-stage cultivation of
lotus roots. The method includes the following steps: (1)
water supply, wherein water is controlled not to cover leaves at the early stage, a field is covered by the leaves at the middle stage, the field is covered by dead leaves at the
late stage to be kept moist and warm, and the application amount of nitrogenous
fertilizer is controlled to prevent the leaves from growing too vigorously; (2)
disease prevention, wherein 2kg of
copper sulfate is applied every 667 square meters to kill germs 15 days before planting if decayed
lotus roots,
lotus roots with yellow cores and lotus roots infected with tan diseases are found every time the lotus roots are planted for three times; (3) tip conditioning, wherein stems are conditioned, namely, the stems are made to grow directionally 15 days after seeding, and the stems can be bent back slightly by hand if the stems are too close to the edge of a weir; (4) deinsectization, wherein
egg masses and larvae of prodenia litura are caught and killed manually; (5) harvesting, packaging and storage and transportation. The method for middle-late-stage cultivation of the lotus roots is little in investment and good in economic benefit.
