2. Seedling stage management

The soil should be kept moist, otherwise it will affect the germination and emergence of seeds, wait for the leaves to grow and then water properly, and the amount of water should be moderate. The seedlings can be treated with rotten farm manure or chemical fertilizer, mainly farm manure, and weeds should be weeded irregularly to avoid weeds competing with them for nutrients.
