Why trees should be corded in winter

Introduction: the world has become greener with trees. In winter time, we often find that the trees on the main road are wrapped with rope. So, today I will talk to my friends about why trees are wrapped with ropes in winter? Why do we wrap the trees with grass rope in winter? Next small make up to bring you to learn it, up the rhythm of knowledge, do not hurry to gather around.

Why should the tree wrap rope in winter

1, tie twine in order to give the tree to keep warm.

Plants also have a body temperature, but the plant's body temperature and the outside world, the plant can be through the stomata on the leaves to regulate their own temperature, such as open stomata, by transpiration to reduce the degree of the body, when the body temperature is too low is to close the stomata, weakening the transpiration.

But the temperature regulation ability of plants is different, some plants are very hardy, some heat-resistant, like the winter to the trees wrapped in twine is equivalent to a layer of clothing to the tree, to the tree insulation.

2, maintain moisture

In fact, and warmth have the same thing, in the cold, but also lock the transpiration of plants, especially in winter, the plant water itself absorbs very little, so to help trees to reduce the loss of water is still very necessary.

3, pest control

Still in winter, many kinds of bugs need to lay eggs and winter, and the vast majority of bugs will choose to be on the plant to lay eggs or chrysalis.

And if you tie the twine, the bugs crawl to the twine, will feel the twine is softer than the tree trunk, and then they will choose to make pupa in the twine for the winter, which will make the trees free from insect pests.

When the winter is over, replace the twine to eliminate the eggs and nymphs.

4, to prevent people, animal damage

To the trees with a layer of clothing can also prevent people and animal damage, such as cats and dogs and so on like to scratch trees, but also some people will be on the tree damage, this layer of protection can be at least part of the defense damage.

5, stabilize and fix the tree

Tied to the twine can be fixed to a certain extent the direction of the trunk, especially for new saplings, can resist a certain degree of wind and rain swaying, to prevent damage to the trunk of the tree, the bark wear and tear.

Trees how to winter

Wearing white boots

Trunk white: we see trees wearing "white boots", is the green workers to trees brush a layer of whitening agent, the main components of quicklime, lithosulphuric acid, salt, grease, etc., do you know this "white boots" role? "The role of?

1

Beautification of the environment

For the trees to wear neat and tidy white boots, for the winter city to add a beautiful scenery.

2

Preventing frost damage

Because the whitening agent can reflect part of the sunlight and reduce the absorption of radiant heat by the trees, it can reduce the temperature difference between day and night at the base of the tree trunks, avoiding freezing and sunburn damage caused by alternating freezing and thawing.

3

Reducing pests and diseases

The lime, salt and sulfur compounds in the whitening agent have a bactericidal disinfectant effect, which can eliminate some of the over-wintering germs and insect eggs in the cracks of the bark, and reduce the source of over-wintering pests and diseases.

Wearing winter clothes

Cold wrapping: for some of the plants that are less tolerant of low temperatures, green workers will put on a thick layer of winter clothes for them to prevent frost damage in the event of a cold snap. Winter coat has straw, insulation film and other styles, can prevent wind and frost, reduce water loss, to protect the trees safely over the winter.

Pay belt

Tied grass rope (grass target): part of the garden pests will look for a sheltered place to overwinter, green workers in the trunk of the middle of the tree tied grass rope or grass target, you can trap pests in which overwintering, next year, before the spring of the grass rope or grass target along with the pests in which the over-wintering together with the destruction of the pests, you can effectively reduce the part of the pest damage.

Sticky insect tape (sticky insect adhesive): for some of the pests have up and down the tree overwintering habits, green workers in the middle of the trunk coated with sticky insect adhesive or sticky insect tape, thus blocking the pests on the tree damage.

Scraping the cracked bark

Part of the garden pests like to hide in the bark cracks or cracked bark under the wintering, greening workers through the scraping of the cracked bark, destroying the pests overwintering place, can effectively reduce the survival rate of the overwintering pests.

Removal of disease residues

Many plant pathogenic microorganisms or pests will overwinter along with the host plant's diseased branches, diseased leaves, diseased flowers, diseased fruits and other plant disease residues, winter cleanup and centralized destruction of plant disease residues can effectively reduce the source of overwintering pests and diseases to reduce the overwintering base of the disease and pests.

Repairing tree holes

Tree wood due to a variety of reasons caused by decay, hollow, the formation of tree holes, these holes will weaken the tree, exacerbate the aging of the tree, reduce the solidity of the branches and trunks and the ability to load, the tree holes are also easy to breed inside the carrion insects, affecting the health of the trees. In winter, the trees are in a dormant state, can be repaired by repairing the tree holes to enhance the tree, reduce pests and diseases, reduce safety hazards.
