What kind of cauliflower is it? Explain the planting method in detail!

Golden cauliflower, also known as clover and alfalfa, is a common weed on roadsides and hillsides. It is widely planted because of its high nutritional value and a wide range of uses. At present, it is mostly used to feed livestock. What is golden cauliflower? What are the planting methods?

What is golden cauliflower?

1. Golden cauliflower is a perennial herb of legume, legume, butterfly subfamily, clover and alfalfa, with erect stems, long main roots and many branches, and there are several Obovate or oblanceolate leaves on each branch, usually three or four, but most of them are three, and the flowers are purple, and they will produce spiral pods in May-June, with 1 to 8 seeds in the pods.

2. Cauliflower, also known as alfalfa, is a common livestock feed, which is currently planted in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Yunnan and other places in China. Because of its good nitrogen fixation, many people interplant it with rice, cotton, beans and so on.

3. Golden cauliflower has high nutritional value and is rich in protein, vitamins, calcium and other elements needed by the human body, especially the sprouts of golden cauliflower, which are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, dietary fiber and low calories, so many people eat it to lose weight, but from a nutritional point of view, it is necessary to eat 5 kilograms of alfalfa sprouts every day to supplement vitamin A, but it is not recommended. Because most of the cauliflower grows in the wild and is very polluting, it is best not to eat it.

Second, what are the planting methods of cauliflower?

1. Land selection and preparation: which land is suitable for planting?

Golden cauliflower is suitable to grow in a slightly acidic environment with deep soil, loose and fertile soil, good drainage and good traffic, so it should be planted in sandy soil with convenient transportation as far as possible. After selecting the land, it is necessary to dig the soil deeply and apply an appropriate amount of rotten farm manure to remove the grass stems from the clean ground.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings: when is a good time to sow seeds?

(1) seed selection: select some seeds that are glossy, harmless and disease-free. If you don't know whether the seeds are bad or shrunken seeds, you can soak them in warm water for a while. If they float on the water, they are bad or shrunken seeds and should not be planted.

(2) seed treatment: put the selected seeds in a bag, then soak them in cold water for about 10 hours, and finally take them out and put them in a cool environment for two or three days. During these two or three days, water should be watered every three hours to promote germination.

(3) sowing method: sow the treated seeds evenly on the soil, then spread a thin layer of soil and pour appropriate amount of water.

3. Field management technology: how to manage it?

(1) Fertilizer requirements: after sprouting, when the seedlings grow 2-3 true leaves, the base fertilizer should be added in time, and the second topdressing should be carried out after harvest, and the rest can be determined according to the plant growth and the fertile soil.

(2) Water requirement: during the period of sprouting, cauliflower should be watered twice a day to ensure that the soil is moist, reduce watering when seedlings emerge, and stop watering a week later to avoid waterlogging. When it comes to summer, water should be watered every other day to ensure adequate moisture.

(3) weeding in mid-tillage: weeds will grow during the growth of cauliflower, and the soil will gradually harden, especially in the seedling stage and harvest stage, the growth of cauliflower is the weakest and weeds are the easiest to grow, so it is necessary to weed frequently and loosen the soil at the right time. In addition, it is necessary to loosen the soil within a week and within a month after emergence and during the vigorous growth period, so as to improve soil fertility.

(4) pest control: during the growth of golden cauliflower, diseases and insect pests such as virus disease and ground tiger are easy to occur, so it is necessary to do a good job in pest control before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival and during the growing period.

4. Timely harvest: when will the harvest be ready?

Cauliflower can be harvested at any time, as long as the seedlings grow to a certain height, and only a section is left when harvesting. If you have a seed, you can cut it off and collect the pods for planting the following year.

The above is a detailed introduction of what is cauliflower and its planting method. I hope it will be helpful to you.
