Matters needing attention in planting mustard

Mustard is also called jade root. It is a kind of raw material used to pickle spicy vegetables. It has certain economic value. Today, Xiaobian will share with you the precautions for planting mustard. Let's learn together!

1. Time

Mustard sowing time is mainly related to the planting area. Generally speaking, it can be planted in spring and autumn, but it is mainly autumn sowing. In China's Changhuai and other places, it is basically sown in July every year. The latest sowing time cannot be later than October. Of course, the best sowing time is August. The yield and quality of mustard planted in August are the best. Therefore, we need to choose the right time to plant according to the specific situation.

2. Temperature

Mustard is a kind of cool vegetable, suitable for growing in the temperature of 15 to 25 degrees, so when choosing planting time, we also need to consider the temperature problem, generally the average temperature of the whole year can reach about 15 degrees is the most suitable place to grow mustard, at the same time we should pay attention to is that the planting temperature should not be higher than 30 degrees above, otherwise it will affect the quality of mustard, serious when it will lead to plant sun death.

3. Germination

Before sowing, it is necessary to carry out seed treatment and germination of mustard seeds. Generally, mustard seeds are in a dormant state, so we need to sun the seeds, and then put the seeds in an environment with a temperature of three or four degrees for germination. Generally, two to three days can be sown.

4. Sowing

Mustard is generally used in the way of sowing, but in the sowing time to pay attention to is that the seeds should be evenly spread, followed by good seeds after the seeds should be pressed into the soil, so as not to be carried away by wind or rain, but also conducive to seed moisture absorption, promote the speed of germination, and finally if you are not afraid of trouble, you can still use drilling, so that you can reduce a certain amount of labor for later field management.

5. Density

Because sowing is generally used, the density is not controlled and needs to be adjusted later. Then we carry out thinning and supplementary seedlings when mustard seedlings grow to a certain extent. At the same time, surplus mustard seedlings can be transplanted. Usually, we must ensure that at least 40,000 plants are planted per mu. Generally, planting is carried out according to the distance between rows of 50 to 55 cm and between plants of 40 to 50 cm. In this way, the normal growth of mustard can not be affected, and reasonable density adjustment can be carried out according to the fertility of the soil.

6. Water and fertilizer

Mustard it is a kind of relatively wet vegetables, if there is no rain after sowing, it is necessary to carry out one or two watering, so as to ensure the emergence rate of mustard, followed by timely watering after emergence, then watering after planting, finally according to the dry soil in the field to carry out scientific watering, to ensure that the humidity in the field is at least 70%, in the preparation of the soil according to the organic fertilizer required per mu two thousand jin, The amount of compound fertilizer is 100 jin to apply base fertilizer, and then after planting, the first topdressing is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, because mustard growth needs a lot of nutrients, so at least four or five topdressing is needed in its whole growth period. The specific fertilization situation needs to be scientifically applied according to the growth of mustard.

The above is the precautions for planting mustard, I hope it can help you!
