Technology of growing unicorn

Single horn lotus is planted with tubers or seeds for propagation, which is generally suitable for planting in April. Make furrows on the whole land before planting, cover the soil and fertilize after planting the stem or seeds. After the emergence of seedlings around June, it is necessary to carry out work such as ploughing and weeding, fertilization, drainage and irrigation, and mining can be carried out in late September.

Attention should be paid to the planting of single-horn lotus:

1. Parcel selection

The quality of the soil directly affects the yield of Nelumbo nucifera. If the soil quality and growth environment are very good, the yield will increase. Single horn lotus has few requirements for soil, which can be sand and gravel soil, yellow mud and slag soil, and the soil with more sand does not matter much. However, if the yield is high and the quality is good, the planting fields should be gentle, the land should be drained smoothly, and the light time should be sufficient.

two。 Application of base fertilizer

When planting single-horn lotus, 2000-3000 kg of barnyard manure or compost was applied per mu. After applying manure, the cover soil was flush with the border surface, with a depth of 4-5 cm, slightly suppressed, and 20-25 kg of small tubers per mu.

3. Seedling stage management

The workload of management and maintenance in the seedling stage is less, it has few diseases and grows well. The biggest part of the thing is irrigation, weeding and pest control, and so on. At the peak of its growth, a large amount of fertilizer and water are needed. During this period, 30 kg of fast-acting fertilizer can be applied per mu, and a lot of water is needed during the period of its fastest growth. During this period, the frequency and time of watering should be decided according to the weather conditions.

If you plant one-horned lotus by sowing, you can buy it from a seed company; if you plant with tubers, you can leave the bulbs around the bulbs for planting in the first year.
