For any crop, the right growing environment is a key factor in determining its yield and quality. In the process of fennel cultivation, suitable soil conditions are particularly important, and fertile sandy soil can effectively improve the quality of fennel production, which is undoubtedly an excellent choice. If the fertility of the selected soil is found to be insufficient, appropriate consideration can be given to applying an appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer to adjust it. In addition, proper moisture is also necessary for fennel growth, too little or too much may have a negative effect on fennel growth.

In the process of fennel planting, it is very important to choose high-quality fennel seeds with high freshness, fullness, no obvious signs of injury, no invasion of diseases and pests, and high germination coefficient of shell breaking, which will help effectively improve the germination probability of fennel seeds and the ability to resist pests and diseases.
Before fennel is planted, the seeds are pre-germinated according to the process. First, soak the selected seeds in warm water, keeping the water temperature at 20 to 30 at that time, and the maceration time should be controlled within 24 hours. The seeds are then removed, drained until completely dry, and when the seeds sprout, the seeds are planted for the official sowing campaign.
Scientific and reasonable field management measures are indispensable during the growth and seedling growth of fennel, which includes weeding and weeding, plant seedlings and timely application of organic fertilizer.
