How does nephritis grass (apricot leaf rabbit ear wind) grow?

Nephritis grass is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, distributed in Yunnan, China, has a certain effect on acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, cystitis, bronchitis and so on. So, how to grow nephritis grass? Let's get to know it together.

1. Land selection and preparation

Nephritis grass is extremely resistant and has no requirements for planting land. Generally speaking, the land that can grow crops can be used to grow nephritis grass, and some plots that cannot grow crops can also grow nephritis grass, so when choosing to cultivate land, try to choose soil that is convenient for drainage and irrigation, transportation, fertile soil and good permeability, and the second is to keep away from pollution sources, so as not to affect the quality of medicinal materials. Deep turning over the land during soil preparation is suitable for sufficient farm manure, combined with deep ploughing, mix the soil fertilizer evenly, and then flatten the planting, ridging and ditching can wait for planting.

2. Scientific reproduction

The most common way of reproduction of nephritis grass is seed propagation and split-plant reproduction, and seed propagation is also the most commonly used planting method. In general, we sow the seeds evenly in the whole field. Sowing is generally done by strip sowing, and the spacing between rows is about 35 cm, while ramet propagation is based on the newly produced rhizome. After dividing the plants, the plants were planted according to the density of row spacing of 30 cm and plant spacing of 25 cm.

3. Watering and fertilization

If we use the method of seed propagation to plant, the seedlings usually emerge in one to three weeks, while the ramet propagation can grow new roots in about five days after planting. During the seedling breeding period of nephritis, we should keep a certain humidity in the field. It is usually about 40%, but when the seedlings emerge and there is no rain, it is necessary to continue watering in time to promote the growth of the seedlings. During this period, reasonable interseedling and seedling replenishment are also needed. after planting, we need to carry out the first topdressing, which can be irrigated with dung and urine water, which is generally based on nitrogen fertilizer. in the whole growth process of nephritis grass, we need to irrigate irregularly, from emergence to harvest, the number of watering is about six to eight times, and the number of times of topdressing is about three to four times.

4. Ploughing and weeding

Intermediate ploughing and weeding is also very important in the growth process of nephritis grass, because in the process of nephritis grass growth, the growth rate of weeds is also very fast, so we need to weed regularly, generally after planting for the first time, intermediate ploughing is usually shallow ploughing, so as not to hurt the root system of nephritis grass, the second is weeding, we have to weed according to the growth of weeds, as early as possible. To reduce nutrient consumption, finally, it is necessary to loosen the soil irregularly in the later stage to enhance soil permeability, such as after continuous rainfall, after more washing and watering, and so on.

The above is a full introduction of how to grow nephritis grass. I hope I can help you!
