Planting technique of Pennisetum equisetum

Because the seed is small and the ability of the top soil of the bud is poor, the quality of soil preparation has a great influence on its emergence. Therefore, soil preparation should be fine, which is conducive to seedling emergence. When the temperature reaches 15 degrees Celsius, sowing is appropriate, sowing in May, China and Hungary, the sowing date is postponed to the end of June, higher grass yield can also be obtained. When sowing, it is necessary to grasp the appropriate soil moisture, and the depth of covering soil after sowing is about 1.5 cm. Seedlings can emerge 5-6 days after sowing. Generally, strip sowing is used to mow grass, with a sowing rate of 0.7-1.0 kg per mu and a row spacing of 50 cm. It can also be raised and transplanted to the field when there are 5-6 leaves. The transplanting density is 4000-5000 plants per mu. The row spacing is 45 cm and the plant spacing is 20-25 cm. In order to control the harm of ants and other underground pests to seeds or seedlings, seeds must be mixed with pesticides or poisoned soil. Organic pennisetum grows slowly at seedling stage and is easy to be invaded by weeds, so it can be ploughed twice in time to promote early tillering. Once you start tillering, you can grow rapidly. We should strive for the whole seedling at the seedling stage and irrigate it in time in case of drought.

How to deal with Pennisetum in winter

In the north, with a cold winter, Pennisetum wilted in November and grew again in April of the following year. In the south, the four seasons are evergreen, but they are replaced periodically. About July-October. The period from February to March is intermittent.

Most of them are born on hillsides and drier places at 800-4600 meters above sea level. Xisheng is a common weed on hillsides or roadsides.

2. Sichuan pennisetum

Sichuan Pennisetum, Gramineae, Pennisetum, perennial herbs. The culm is hard. Leaf blade linear, spikelike-cylindrical, shortly stipitate, the first glume thin and minute, the second glume longer than the first glume, margin thin and flat, enclosing a homogeneous Palea. Most of them were born on river banks and hillsides at an altitude of 2000-3000 meters.

3. Pennisetum equisetum

Pennisetum equisetum, perennial. No rhizome, or have very short rhizome, but do not walk across, whisker root stout. The leaf is linear, the panicle is usually drooping, and the structure of leaf epidermis is different from that of upper and lower epidermis. Chinese mainland is produced in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. Born in open slopes and mountains at 500-2000 meters above sea level.

The main value of Pennisetum equisetum

Leaf soft withdrawal, good palatability, herbivorous livestock and fish are fond of feeding. Pennisetum has high nutritional value. When the vegetative growth period plant is 1.2m high, the stem and leaf dry matter contains 10% crude protein, 3.5% crude fat, 32.9% crude fiber, 42.4% nitrogen-free extract, and 10.2% crude ash. At the same time, it is also a high-quality green feed for herbivorous poultry and herbivorous fish. The peak of grass production was consistent with that of fish, and the crude egg digestibility of grass carp to hybrid pennisetum was 82.71%. For example, it is used as green fodder for raising cattle and sheep. 5-6 times a year, it is used as feed for livestock and poultry such as fish, goose, pig, etc., cutting 8-10 times a year. In addition to green cutting, you can also make hay or prepare silage. The grass supply period from June to October plays a certain role in alleviating the contradiction of high temperature and lack of green feeding in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in summer.

Through the above content, I believe you have a definite understanding of Pennisetum. Pennisetum is widely used, with ornamental, feed, medicinal and other values, growing Pennisetum is also very simple, because Pennisetum has strong vitality and easy to grow!
