When is the latest planting time? High yield cultivation techniques of lotus root

The taste of lotus root is crisp and sweet. It is a favorite vegetable for many people. It can not only be fried, but also can be eaten cold and raw. Many people are curious about its plant time, how to plant in order to achieve high yield? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. Planting time

The planting time of lotus root is usually from March to April, because the suitable temperature for its growth is between 20 and 30 degrees, so if you want to plant lotus roots, you should pay attention to the minimum temperature of 15 degrees, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to survive. And because of the large temperature difference between the north and the south, it is more suitable for the south to plant in February-March, while the northern chicken is suitable for planting in April-May.

2. Seed selection

In the selection of lotus root is also a crucial point, we must carefully observe whether there are new buds in the lower part of the lotus root, and then see if there are some roots growing back around, if there are some flowers, such seedlings can be directly planted. The second is to select lotus roots with at least three segments in length and segments without any damage, and the most important thing is that there is no virus, so that the lotus roots will be bigger and better.

3. Sowing seeds

The lotus root should not be placed for too long after seed selection, but should be planted immediately, but the lotus root seed should be treated before planting, and some targeted drugs should be evenly mixed and planted. Only in this way can we effectively improve the impact of bacteria and viruses encountered by lotus root species in the growing period. In planting, it is necessary to plant deeply in order to make the lotus root grow better. As for the planting density, we should choose 30-50cm as a plant.

4. Field management

After planting the lotus root for a month, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers will grow out. At this time, we need to remove the buds and leaves so that they will not affect the growth of the lotus root. If they are not removed in time, they will continue to absorb nutrients. This will cause the lotus root to grow not very well. When the lotus leaves grow to 5-6 pieces, we need to fertilize them once, and when the pond is full of lotus leaves, we need to fertilize again. Because many tender lotus roots begin to grow and need a lot of nutrients, when the leaves no longer grow in the last fertilization, the lotus roots have already begun to grow, and the nutrients needed are even greater. In addition, the water level should be controlled at about 10-15 cm.

The above is the introduction of high-yield planting techniques of lotus root. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about it, please follow us.
