Incorrect watering methods of carob can adversely affect their growth and yield. Here are some common bean watering misconceptions, as well as the correct way to do so.
First, the misunderstanding of insufficient watering
Beans are a vegetable that needs plenty of water, and if not watered enough, it can cause the beans to grow slowly, turn the leaves yellow, and even die. Some growers just lightly drench water when watering, which does not meet the growth needs of the beans. The correct watering method should be to keep the soil moist during the growth of the beans, especially when more water is needed during the fruiting period. When watering, the soil should be fully moistened to ensure that the water penetrates deep into the soil to meet the growth needs of the beans.
Second, the misunderstanding of too much watering
Although beans need plenty of water, overwatering can also cause problems. Too much water will make the soil moist, which can easily lead to a lack of oxygen in the roots of the beans, which will affect their growth. In addition, excessive watering can also easily cause the occurrence of carob diseases and pests. The correct watering method should be based on the weather and soil moisture conditions to determine the amount of watering, and avoid watering too much or too little. In general, the soil should be moistened with each watering, but do not allow water to remain on the surface of the soil to avoid causing disease.
3. Misunderstandings of improper watering time
Watering time is also an important factor that affects the growth of beans. Some growers prefer to water during the day, but doing so can easily cause the water to evaporate too quickly, so that the beans do not absorb enough water. Although watering at night can avoid water evaporation, the temperature at night is low, and the water is easy to remain on the soil surface, which is easy to cause diseases. The correct time to water should be in the morning or evening, when the temperature is moderate and the water does not evaporate easily and does not remain on the soil surface.
Fourth, do not pay attention to the misunderstanding of water quality
Water quality is also an important factor affecting the growth of carob. If the water quality is not good and contains too much salt or harmful substances, it will adversely affect the growth of the beans. Therefore, you should pay attention to the water quality when watering and try to use a clean water source. If the water quality is poor, there are a few measures that can be taken to improve the water quality, such as adding an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer or water quality treatment.
5. Incorrect watering methods
In addition to the above several misunderstandings, there are also some incorrect watering methods that can also affect the growth of beans. For example, some growers prefer to use watering cans, but this can lead to uneven water distribution and inconsistent soil moisture. The correct watering method should be to use drenching or drip irrigation to allow the water to penetrate evenly into the deep layers of the soil and ensure that the water and nutrients needed for the growth of the beans are fully supplied.
