1. Suitable temperature for growth

2. Growth cycle

The temperature suitable for the growth of leeks should be determined according to the growth stage, and the temperatures required at different stages are also different. If it is during the germination period, the temperature is best controlled between 15-18 degrees, and the minimum should not be lower than 12 degrees. The suitable temperature for the growth stage of seedlings is between 12-18 degrees. When the seedlings grow up and reach the vigorous growth period, the most suitable temperature is 15-28 degrees. Be careful not to make it too high or too low, otherwise growth will be affected.

1. Suitable temperature for growth

The suitable temperature for the growth of leeks depends on the growth stage. Different growth stages require different temperatures. When seeds germinate, the temperature is best controlled above 12 degrees, preferably between 15 and 18 degrees. Too low will reduce the germination rate. The suitable temperature for the seedling growth stage is between 12-18 degrees. When the seedlings grow up to the growth stage, the suitable temperature is between 15-28 degrees. It should not be too high or too low, otherwise it will affect growth.

2. Growth cycle

1 . Germination period: The stage from seed germination to the first true leaf growing from the young bud is the germination period. The entire unearthing process takes about 10 days. However, the time required for different varieties is not exactly the same. Some varieties germinate very slowly, and the emergence period is about 12-15 days, or even longer.

2. Seedling stage: from the first true leaf It is the seedling stage when it has the ability to divide. Generally, it takes 70-80 days for varieties, and 60 days for fast-growing varieties. At this growth stage, the above-ground part grows relatively slowly, mainly due to root growth. The value can be determined when the seedlings grow to 18-20 cm.

3. The vigorous growth period: starting with the ability to divide the plants It is the period of vigorous growth when branches begin to occur. The specific number of branches also depends on the variety. Among them, narrow-leaf varieties are harvested four or five times a year, and wide-leaf varieties are harvested two or three times a year. During this period, attention should be paid to light and temperature management.
