How to grow chicken bone grass

Chicken bone grass is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which has the functions of clearing heat and removing dampness, detoxification, relieving pain, promoting liver and so on. Can be used to cook chicken soup, can remove moisture in the body, mainly planted in Guangzhou and Guangxi. So how to grow chicken bone grass?

I. Land

The requirement of chicken bone grass to the soil is not high, but the planting scale is not large, which is mainly related to the market demand. Like general dry land, mountains, plains, wasteland, etc., can be used for planting, but need to carry out land improvement before planting. It is very necessary to dig deep into the land, especially the wasteland, and then clean up the weeds and stones in the soil, sprinkle adequate base fertilizer after disinfection, and do the drainage system well in advance.

Second, accelerate germination and sow seeds

Chicken bone grass seed epidermis is relatively hard, but also covered with a layer of wax, if directly sown without treatment, water is very difficult to absorb, so the budding rate is particularly low. The general method of treatment is to soak the seeds in warm water, fish them out after the seeds expand, and then grind the waxy layer on the seed epidermis so that the chickens can sow. Generally, strip sowing is used for sowing, and the distance between each row is about 30 cm. The seeds are evenly scattered in the trench, covered with soil, and wait for seedlings to emerge.

Third, uniform seedlings to replenish seedlings

Generally, about a month can be carried out to homogenize and replenish seedlings, this is chicken bone grass is about six to eight centimeters. We should remove the places where the seedlings are relatively dense in the field at reasonable intervals, and then check the situation of missing, dead and sparse seedlings in the field, and make reasonable uniform and supplementary seedlings. In the end, the spacing between rows is 30 cm, and the spacing between plants is about 25 cm. About 10, 000 to 112 plants can be planted per mu.

IV. Management

Weeding and fertilization should be carried out many times in the whole growth process of chicken bone grass. The growth rate of chicken bone grass is not very fast, so we need to enhance the passability of the soil to promote the growth rate of chicken bone grass. The second is to apply fertilizer after each weeding, which is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients, and the loss of nutrients will be less, at the same time, it also plays a great role in improving the soil. Fertilization needs to be combined with urea, potash, phosphate, nitrogen and farm manure, which can enhance the resistance of the plant. Chicken bone grass is more resistant to drought, and basically does not need watering in normal weather, but it needs appropriate watering after a long drought, and it should be drained in time in the rainy season to prepare for flood prevention.

The yield of chicken bone grass per mu can reach 400 kilograms, large-scale planting, the benefit is still considerable, there are conditions might as well try to plant.
