Matters needing attention in the latest horseshoe planting

Horseshoe is also called water chestnut, it is a kind of aquatic herb that can be harvested for many years, it is often used as fruit, but it can also be used as vegetable, which is very popular, but the only troublesome thing is peeling, so there is a sales mode of buying and peeling now on the market. Horseshoe has a strong adaptability to the environment and can be planted in many places, but there are still some places that need to pay attention to when planting. So let's show off and learn about the precautions of horseshoe planting.

1. Seeds

The selection of horseshoe seeds is the most basic condition for the yield and quality of horseshoes, so when choosing horseshoe seeds, we should try to choose those horseshoes that are relatively large, full, smooth and undamaged as seeds. At the same time, it is necessary to soak the seeds to accelerate germination before planting, which can improve the emergence rate and growth rate of the seeds.

2. Soil

Selecting suitable soil for planting is a relatively basic external condition for high yield of horseshoe. Although horseshoe has good adaptability to soil, it is best to choose black soil with sufficient water source for irrigation and drainage to plant in black soil. Secondly, the pH of the soil should be moderate, not too acidic but not alkaline, which will affect the normal growth of horseshoe.

3. Time

Horseshoe is a kind of temperature-loving, light-loving and humidity-loving plant, so its growth requires sufficient water, high temperature and sufficient light, so the time of planting is very important. We can sow it as early as possible. This can effectively increase its yield. In general, it is best to plant it immediately after the early rice harvest. The middle time is usually around July and August, no later than October. Otherwise, the yield of planting will be seriously affected.

4. Density

When planting, we also need to pay attention to the planting density. If the planting density is too high, then the yield of horseshoes will not be high, but the planting density is too small, and the land resources are not fully utilized. So it is generally planted according to the row spacing of 30 to 50 centimeters and the plant spacing of about 30 to 35 centimeters. Secondly, when planting, we should also pay attention not to plant too deep and not too shallow, too deep to be difficult to harvest, and too shallow is prone to the phenomenon of falling seedlings.

5. Water and fertilizer

Horseshoe is a kind of aquatic plant, its growth is inseparable from water, generally speaking, the water level in the field should be maintained at about five or six centimeters after planting, and then slowly deepen the water level with the growth of horseshoes, but the highest can not exceed 20 centimeters, otherwise it is easy to get sick and lodging, and finally, the water in the field should be discharged one week before harvest to dry the field, so it is convenient for harvesting. There is a big difference between horseshoe and many crops, that is, its basic fertilizer must be fully applied, because there is basically no topdressing in the follow-up, so we can apply fertilizer specifically according to the fertility of the soil. it is generally based on 5,000 jin of organic fertilizer per mu and 50 jin of phosphate fertilizer.

6. Diseases and insect pests

Horseshoe basically does not have any diseases and insect pests, the main thing to pay attention to is physiological red tail and dry blight, physiological red tail is mainly to strengthen field fertility management, appropriate amount of foliar fertilizer can be treated, and dry blight can be treated with carbendazim.
