What is the reason why leeks do not tiller

1. Improper sowing time

Leek has strong adaptability, heat resistance and cold resistance are good, but it cannot be sown all year round. Generally, the best time for leeks to be planted is between April and May in spring, when the temperature starts to rise. Generally maintained between 10-20 degrees, very suitable for the growth and development of chives. However, if the seeds are planted in the hot summer season, the seeds will not germinate normally, and the high temperature will also think of the tillering of leeks. Chives grow very high in the early stage in autumn, but the temperature drops rapidly, which will also affect the tillering of chives, so if you want to till well, you must first choose a suitable sowing time.

2. The planting density is too large

Many people think that the denser the planting, the higher the yield when planting leeks, so they will be densely packed together when planting, but this is a wrong approach. Once the leek is planted too densely, it needs a certain amount of space when it starts tillering in the current period. If there is not enough space for tillering, then its tillering will stop. Of course, it should not be too thin. After all, the tillering capacity of leeks is limited. If the leeks are too thin, it will waste soil resources and affect the average yield.

3. Harvesting

One planting of leeks can be harvested many times, but if the harvest is frequent during the planting process, it will not only affect the normal growth of leeks, but also affect the tillers of leeks. Leeks should not be harvested frequently during the growth period, and must stop harvesting in the summer and after winter. If the harvest is too frequent, it will not only attract the absorption of soil nutrients by the leeks, but also cause the axillary buds of the leeks. A certain influence, thus affecting the tillering of chives.

4. Improper fertilizer

The reason why leek can be harvested continuously is not only related to its strong regeneration function and tillering ability, but also has a great root system for fertilizer and water management. Because the yield of leeks is large, the demand for fertilizer and water is large during the growth process. If the number of watering and fertilization is too small, the normal tillering ability of leeks will be affected due to insufficient fertilizer and water.
