Soil: Sandy soil is sufficient for cultivating lettuce. Fertile and breathable soil will be more suitable for its growth. Moisture: It is a plant that requires a lot of water. The soil should be kept moist. Sufficient water can help it grow better. Nutrients: When fertilizing, use fully decomposed organic fertilizer and mix it with the soil to provide it with nutrients. Light: Like good light, because too little light will cause disease, but strong light is not suitable.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Fertile, loose and breathable soil can make it grow better. Generally, sandy soil can be used.

2. Moisture: It is suitable for high humidity in the early morning, It grows in an environment with a lot of rainfall. During the breeding period, the soil should be kept moist and provided with sufficient water, so that strong and leafy lettuce can be harvested.

3. Nutrients: Sprinkle decomposed organic fertilizer evenly into the soil before planting, and then turn and stir it, so that the nutrients in the soil can be fully volatilized.

4. Light: sufficient light is needed during breeding. It should be exposed to sunlight, but it is not suitable for direct sunlight. Too strong sunlight will cause sunburn to its stems and leaves.

2. Breeding skills

1. Pruning: During the growth period, lettuce will have weak seedlings and rotten branches and leaves. At this time, they should be pruned in time to avoid Infect other healthy plants and affect nutrient absorption.

2. Propagation: Propagation is often carried out by sowing, and the time is in mid-to-early April and July. Spread the seeds evenly on the soil with sufficient nutrients, then sprinkle a layer of fine soil and spray some water to make the soil moist. You can see the lettuce growing in about a week.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Sclerotinia: Sclerotinia is very likely to occur under conditions of poor ventilation and poor air permeability. Untimely control will cause the entire leaves to wither and die. Just use carbendazim and diluted activin to spray.

2. Aphids: Aphids are a common pest of lettuce. They can make the leaves of lettuce curl up and then survive on the curled leaves. If the pests are not removed in time, the yield of lettuce will be greatly reduced. The use of diluted spraying with pirimicarb can have a good effect.

IV. Other issues

1. Whether it is edible: Lettuce is edible because it is a very common vegetable and is cultivated for food.

2. Can it be exposed to rain: It can be exposed to rain, because it is a plant that requires a lot of water. Sufficient water can make it grow better. However, during heavy rains, the accumulated water in the soil must be removed promptly.
