With the popularization of the concept of healthy eating, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the ingredients on their tables. As a nutritious and unique vegetable, chrysanthemum has been widely popular. In order to meet the market demand, many people began to consider growing chrysanthemum on their own. So, how do you grow healthy, delicious chrysanthemum?This article will introduce the planting methods and precautions of chrysanthemum in detail.
First, the choice of planting environment.
Artemisia chrysanthemum is highly adaptable, but in order to obtain a high-quality harvest, it is necessary to choose a suitable planting environment. Artemisia chrysanthemum is suitable for growing in sunny areas with loose soil and good drainage. Before planting, the soil should be deeply turned to remove weeds and stones, and an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer should be applied to provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of chrysanthemum.
2. Sowing. Select high-quality chrysanthemum seeds, which are screened before sowing to remove impurities and low-quality seeds. According to the climatic conditions of the planting environment, choose the appropriate sowing time. In general, spring and autumn are the best planting seasons. When planting, spread the seeds evenly on the surface of the soil, cover with a thin layer of soil, and then gently spray the water with a sprayer to keep the soil moist.
3. Field management.
During the growth of chrysanthemum, proper field management is required. Keep the soil moist and water it in time to avoid excessive drought or standing water. During the growth process, weeding should be done in a timely manner to avoid weeds competing with chrysanthemum for nutrients. When the plant grows to a certain height, it needs to be pruned to promote the growth of side branches and increase the yield.
Fourth, pest control.
In the planting process, pests and diseases are important factors affecting the growth of chrysanthemum. It is necessary to regularly check the growth of chrysanthemum, and take timely control measures when pests and diseases are found. A combination of biological control and chemical control can be adopted to effectively control the occurrence and spread of pests and diseases.
5. Harvesting and storage.
When the chrysanthemum grows to a certain height and the leaves are luxuriant, it is ready to be harvested. Harvesting should be done with scissors to cut from the roots, leaving a small number of leaves in the soil to promote the growth of side branches. After harvesting, chrysanthemum should be cleaned and sorted to remove yellow leaves and weeds, and then packaged and stored. Care should be taken to maintain a dry and ventilated environment during storage, avoiding humidity and high temperatures, so as not to cause rot and deterioration.
6. Precautions.
1.Variety selection: Choosing a chrysanthemum variety that is suitable for the local climate and soil conditions can improve yield and quality.
2.Fertilization: Proper fertilization can promote the growth and quality of chrysanthemum. In the process of growth, nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer can be applied in an appropriate amount, but attention should be paid to controlling the amount of fertilizer to avoid excessive problems such as seedling burning and soil salinization.
3.Temperature: The suitable temperature for the growth of chrysanthemum is between 15-25 degrees Celsius. During the planting process, attention should be paid to adjusting the temperature to avoid too high or too low temperature to adversely affect the growth of chrysanthemum.
4.Pesticide use: When using pesticides, pesticides with low toxicity and low residue should be selected to avoid harm to the environment and human health. At the same time, it is necessary to operate in strict accordance with the instructions for the use of pesticides, and control the dosage and frequency of medication.
5.Harvest timing: Timely harvesting is the key to ensuring the quality and yield of chrysanthemum. Harvesting too early or too late can affect the quality and yield of chrysanthemum. Therefore, when harvesting, it should be judged and selected according to the growth situation and market demand.
In short, the cultivation of chrysanthemum needs to consider many aspects such as environment, variety, management, pest control, harvesting and storage. Only by mastering the correct planting methods and technical points can we obtain high-quality and high-yield chrysanthemums. At the same time, growers should also pay attention to the changes in market demand and consumer demand, and constantly adjust planting methods and variety selection to meet market needs and improve their economic benefits.
