How to plant Artemisia argyi seed planting techniques

Artemisia argyi is a kind of herb, which is distributed in many parts of our country at present. Artemisia argyi is deeply loved by consumers because of its strong efficacy, and now there are many people who grow it, but before planting, what we must be most concerned about is its planting technology. Next, let's study together.

How to plant moxa seeds

1. Seed cultivation skills: when the fruit is ripe, pick the fruit, spread it to dry, thresh, sift, remove impurities, put the seeds in a cloth bag and store them in a cool and dry place. The seed has a short life span and loses its germination power after one summer, so the time needs to be grasped.

2. Seed planting skills: the sowing time of seeds should be in the early spring of each year. From February to March in the south and from March to April in the north, direct seeding or seedling transplanting can be carried out. The row spacing of direct seeding is 40cm to 50cm. The soil cover should not be too thick after sowing. It is appropriate to cover the soil with 0.5 cm or cover the seeds. It is difficult for the seeds to emerge if the soil is too thick. After emergence, pay attention to loosening the soil, weeding and inter-seedling. When the seedling height is 10-15 cm, the seedling should be fixed according to the plant spacing of 20-30 cm. The distance between seedlings is the key to ensure its growth.

Planting technique of Artemisia argyi

1. Planting density. The planting time is from February to March every year, when planting, we should pay attention to the seedling height, generally high 5~10cm. When the ground is wet (preferably after rain or cloudy day), the seedlings separated from the stem base of the mother plant are planted according to the row spacing of 30cm × 40cm, 3 seedlings per hole, covered with soil and compacted. If it doesn't rain within 2-3 days after planting, drip water to preserve moisture. The average yield of dry Artemisia argyi per plant is 4G, and the yield of dry moxa leaf is about 5250kg/hm2 per plant. Just grasp this degree.

2. Ploughing the fields. In the first ten days of April every year, it is necessary to carry out intertillage weeding once, deep 15cm. After harvesting in mid-June, Qi Qi turned over the garden to remove the remnant branches and leaves, remove the dense stem base and persistent roots, and deep 15cm. This will protect it from diseases and insect pests.

3. Fertilizer application. When moxa grass is planted and survived, when the seedling height is 30cm, edible urea 90kg/hm2 should be used as seedling fertilizer, spread in cloudy and rainy days and foliar spraying in sunny days. In early November, farm manure, barnyard manure and cake manure were applied as base fertilizer. When fertilizing, you need to pay attention to the amount, too much is not good.

4. Water management. When watering moxa grass, there must be no stagnant water. In dry season, foliar sprinkler irrigation below seedling height 80cm, and flooding irrigation in the whole garden when seedling height is above 80cm. In addition, the right amount of water can be watered every month.

Matters needing attention in planting Artemisia argyi

1. Pest control: moxa grass is easily attacked by insect pests. Common insect pests are aphids, shell insects and red spiders. Once insect pests occur, they will affect its growth and cause damage to branches and leaves. It should be caught or sprayed in time after discovery.

2. Reproduction: there are generally two ways for moxa grass to reproduce, rhizome propagation and seed reproduction. It is best to apply sufficient base fertilizer before sowing, and there is no stagnant water when watering, so as not to cause disease. Management after breeding is also very important.

In fact, the method of planting moxa grass is not difficult, when planting, we must do a good job of seed selection, and then plant it at the right time. The planting density needs to hug me well, and fertilization, watering and pest control are all inevitable factors to ensure its growth, so we must strengthen management.
