The bottom of the pond is where a lot of organic waste, impurities and microorganisms accumulate, but it is difficult to intervene and treat during the shrimp farming season. Therefore, the bottom treatment stage is the only opportunity during the season for farmers to directly clean and improve the living environment for shrimp. This article will guide effective pond bottom treatment measures, helping farmers optimize the shrimp farming process and increase productivity.

Why is it necessary to clean the pond bottom?

Before starting a new crop, it is necessary to clean the bottom of the earthen pond to remove mud, impurities and waste from the previous crop. This helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and improve water quality.

Drying the pond bottom

After cleaning, the pond needs to be dried. Drying the bottom of the earthen pond helps to kill bacteria, parasites and remaining pathogens, improve soil quality and oxidize organic matter. Drying the bottom usually lasts from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on weather conditions and soil moisture.

Drying the bottom of an earthen pond requires the following steps:

Clean the bottom of the pond after cleaning.

Dry the pond in the sun for 1 to 2 weeks.

Check the moisture and quality of the soil after drying.

Liming and chemical treatment

After the pond bottom has dried to the required level, it is necessary to use lime powder and soil improvers to increase the pH of the soil, neutralize acidity and kill harmful bacteria. Other soil improvers such as Zeolite and Dolomite are also very effective. The usual lime dosage is 500-1000 kg/ha, depending on the acidity of the soil. Lime powder is spread evenly on the pond bottom surface, watered to let the lime penetrate into the soil and then slowly adjust the amount of lime to achieve the appropriate pH.Thanh Thinh's disinfectant products such as Samfit, HI-CHLON 70-T or Aquafit 70T can be used to completely kill bacteria.

Mud thickness

Mud thickness also greatly affects water quality and shrimp health. Controlling the mud thickness helps prevent oxygen deficiency and toxic gas generation. The optimal mud layer is usually maintained below 20 cm.

Adding biological products

Farmers can apply biological products containing beneficial microorganisms to help decompose organic matter and improve water quality. Microorganisms compete and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. However, it is necessary to choose suitable biological products from reputable units, which can be referenced here.

Pond bottom treatment is an important step in the shrimp farming process, helping to create a good living environment for shrimp and increase productivity. By implementing pond bottom treatment measures scientifically and regularly, farmers can ensure the success and economic efficiency of the farming season.

Let's start applying pond bottom treatment measures immediately to optimize the shrimp farming process and achieve the best results. Thanh Thinh wishes you a bumper crop.
