Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pest control technology for leafy vegetables, and more specifically to a method for controlling pests on organic leafy vegetables using insect-proof nets. Background Technology

[0003] Currently, agricultural production mainly relies on chemical fertilizers and pesticides to control pests. However, this method easily leads to pesticide resistance in pests, hindering sustainable application. Furthermore, residual pesticides can be passed to humans through the food chain, accumulating and damaging internal organs. If a physical method for pest control could be provided that effectively controls pests while avoiding harm to humans, stable and high-yield cultivation of organic leafy vegetables could be achieved.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a method for physical control of leafy vegetable pests is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One object of the present invention is to solve at least the above-mentioned problems and / or defects, and to provide at least the advantages described below.

[0006] One objective of this invention is to provide a method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using insect-proof netting. This method is highly effective in controlling pests, simple to operate, and has low input costs, resulting in organic leafy vegetable products with excellent marketability.

[0007] To achieve these objectives and other advantages according to the present invention, a method for controlling pests on organic leafy vegetables using an insect-proof net is provided. The insect-proof net includes a net body and a plurality of support rods. Each support rod includes a retractable multi-section tube. In the multi-section tube, a lower tube is fitted over the upper tube between two adjacent sections. The plurality of support rods are distributed on both sides of the net body. The lower end of the lowermost tube of each support rod is connected to the side of the net body. The upper end of each tube section is connected to a different part of the net body. When two adjacent tube sections are fully extended, the net portion between the two adjacent tube sections is fully extended under the support of the adjacent tube sections.

[0008] The prevention and control process includes: first, tilling and rotary tilling the soil to break it up, and then ridging the soil to form ridges and furrows on both sides of the ridges.

[0009] Sowing is carried out on the ridges;

[0010] An insect-proof net is laid on the ridge surface to cover it, and the lower end of the lowest tube of the support rod is fixed to the ridge surface. Soil is pressed down on both ends and sides of the insect-proof net to fix it above the ridge surface. As the vegetables grow, the multi-section tube of the support rod is stretched according to the height of the vegetables so that the height of the net stretched by the multi-section tube is higher than the height of the vegetables.

[0011] Preferably, the width of the soil compaction at both ends of the insect-proof net is 20 cm, and the width of the soil compaction on both sides of the insect-proof net is 6 cm.

[0012] Preferably, the insect-proof net is 2 meters wide and has 40 meshes.

[0013] Preferably, the width of the ridge surface is 1.2 meters and the depth of the furrow is 10 centimeters.

[0014] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention provides a method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using insect-proof netting, comprising: first, tilling and rotary tilling the soil to finely break it up; then, ridging the soil to form ridges and furrows on both sides of the ridges; sowing seeds on the ridges; laying insect-proof netting on the ridges to cover them; and pressing soil down at both ends and sides of the netting to fix it to the ridges. This invention, by sowing seeds on the ridges and then covering them with insect-proof netting and pressing soil down at both ends and sides, provides ample protection for the vegetables planted on the ridges, achieving efficient pest control, reducing pest control costs, and significantly improving the marketability of organic leafy vegetables. Based on the method provided by this invention, covering vegetables with insect-proof netting increases the microclimate temperature for vegetable growth by 1-2°C, allowing for harvesting 3-5 days earlier, thereby increasing the land's multiple cropping index. In addition, insect-proof netting helps maintain balanced soil moisture, improves the uniformity of vegetables, and increases their marketability.

[0016] Other advantages, objectives and features of the present invention will become apparent in part from the following description, and in part from those skilled in the art through study and practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without creative effort.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention showing an insect-proof net laid on a ridge.

[0019] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the support rod according to one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using an insect-proof net, comprising: firstly, tilling and rotary tilling the soil to break it up, then ridging the soil to form a ridge surface 2 and furrows 3 on both sides of the ridge surface; sowing seeds on the ridge surface 2; laying an insect-proof net 1 on the ridge surface 2 to cover the ridge surface 2; and pressing soil on both ends and sides of the insect-proof net 1 to fix the insect-proof net above the ridge surface.

[0022] This invention involves sowing seeds on raised beds, then covering the beds with insect-proof netting. The ends and sides of the netting are then pressed with soil to secure it to the beds, providing ample protection for the vegetables and achieving highly efficient pest control. This reduces pest control costs and significantly improves the marketability of organic vegetables. Based on the method provided by this invention, covering vegetables with insect-proof netting raises the microclimate temperature for vegetable growth by 1-2°C, allowing for harvesting 3-5 days earlier and increasing the land's multiple cropping index. Furthermore, the insect-proof netting helps maintain balanced soil moisture, improves vegetable uniformity, and increases the marketability of the vegetables.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, in the method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using insect-proof netting, the soil-pressing width at both ends of the insect-proof netting is 20 cm, and the soil-pressing width on both sides of the insect-proof netting is 6 cm. The soil-pressing width at both ends and sides of the insect-proof netting refers to the width at which the ends and sides of the insect-proof netting maintain contact with the ridge surface through soil pressing. If the soil-pressing width is too small, it is not conducive to fixing the insect-proof netting.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, in the method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using an insect-proof net, the insect-proof net is 2 meters wide and has a mesh count of 40. The mesh count of the insect-proof net should not be too small, meaning the mesh openings should not be too large, as this can easily lead to ineffective pest control.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, in the method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using insect-proof netting, the width of the ridge surface is 1.2 meters and the depth of the furrow is 10 centimeters. The dimensions of the ridge surface and furrow can be designed according to the needs of vegetable growth.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using an insect-proof net includes an insect-proof net 1 comprising a net body 6 and multiple support rods 4. Each support rod 4 comprises a retractable multi-section tube 5. In the multi-section tube 5, the lower tube between two adjacent sections is fitted over the upper tube. The multiple support rods 4 are distributed on both sides of the net body 6. The lower end of the lowermost tube of each support rod is connected to the side of the net body, and the upper end of each section is connected to different parts of the net body. When two adjacent sections of the multi-section tube are fully extended, the net portion between the two adjacent sections is fully expanded under the support of the two adjacent sections.

[0027] In the early stages of vegetable growth, a large space is not required. However, as vegetables grow and increase in height, they need more space. If the insect-proof netting simply lies flat on the ground, it will not meet the needs of the vegetables in the later stages of growth. Therefore, the height of the top of the insect-proof netting, i.e., the distance between the top of the netting and the ridge surface, needs to be adjusted according to the growth of the vegetables.

[0028] Specifically, the support rod comprises a telescopic multi-section tube. The upper tube is inserted into the lower tube, allowing the lower tube to be fitted over the upper tube. When the upper tube is stretched to its highest point outside the lower tube, it is secured to the upper end of the lower tube by a locking structure (e.g., a locking protrusion on the upper tube engages with a slot on the lower tube). The upper end of each tube section is connected to different parts of the netting. For example, a pull ring can be installed at the upper end of each tube section, through which a pull rope is threaded and tied to the mesh of the netting. In the early stages of planting, the multi-section tube can be compressed, adjusting the support rod to its shortest position. Subsequently, as the vegetables grow, each tube section is gradually pulled outward from top to bottom to increase the height of the support rod. When a tube is pulled outward, it causes the net to move upward, which unfolds the portion of the net between the tube and the tube below it. At this time, the overall height of the support rod increases, the side unfolding range of the net increases, the top height of the insect net increases, and the distance between the top of the insect net and the ridge surface increases, allowing the vegetables to have more growing space.

[0029] The support rods are located on the outside of the net, allowing for easy adjustment of their height.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using insect-proof netting, wherein laying the insect-proof netting on the ridge surface to cover the ridge surface includes: laying the insect-proof netting on the ridge surface to cover the ridge surface, and fixing the lower end of the lowest tube of the support rod to the ridge surface.

[0031] A pin can be connected to the bottom end of the lowest section of the tube, and the pin extends through the mesh to the back of the mesh.

[0032] When laying the insect-proof net, insert the pin 7 of the bottom tube into the soil to fix the support rod.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the method for controlling pests in organic leafy vegetables using an insect-proof net, after securing the net to the ridge surface by pressing soil onto both ends and sides, further includes: as the vegetables grow, stretching the multi-sectioned tubes of the support rods according to their height, so that the height of the net structure stretched by the tubes exceeds the height of the vegetables. By gradually pulling the tubes outward from top to bottom, the height of the support rods is increased, thereby increasing the internal space of the insect-proof net to meet the needs of vegetable growth.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] The organic vegetable grown in this example is Shanghai bok choy.

[0036] First, till and rotary till the soil until it is finely broken up. After ridging, sow the seeds and water thoroughly. The ridges should be 1.2 meters wide with 10-centimeter-deep furrows on both sides. Use a 2-meter-wide, 40-mesh insect-proof net. At the beginning of the ridge, press 20 centimeters of soil onto the first end of the net. Then, slide the net out and lay it towards the end of the ridge. Press 6 centimeters of soil onto each side of the furrows until the end, and press 20 centimeters of soil onto the end of the furrow.

[0037] During the vegetable growth process, it has a good insect-proof effect. The temperature inside the insect-proof net is 1-2℃ higher than the ambient temperature, the soil moisture is balanced, the vegetables are uniform, and the harvest can be carried out 3 days earlier.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] The vegetable grown in this example is spinach.

[0040] First, till and rotary till the soil until it is finely broken up. After ridging, sow the seeds and water thoroughly. The ridges should be 1.2 meters wide, with 10-centimeter-deep furrows on both sides. Use a 2-meter-wide, 40-mesh insect-proof net. At the beginning of the ridge, press 20 centimeters of soil onto the first end of the net. Then, slide the net out towards the end of the ridge, pressing 6 centimeters of soil onto each side of the furrows until the end, where a 20-centimeter-deep soil layer is placed. As the vegetables grow, gradually increase the height of the support poles.

[0041] During the vegetable growth process, it has a good insect-proof effect. The temperature inside the insect-proof net is 1-2℃ higher than the ambient temperature, the soil moisture is balanced, and the vegetables can be harvested 5 days earlier.
