Before planting, disinfection and sterilization agents can be used to soak seeds for 10-24 hours, take them out and dry them, reasonably control the plant spacing, and press the bud head upward into the sludge. After sowing, cover straw or mat to keep moisture and fertilizer, so as to facilitate seedling emergence. After sowing, water frequently and keep it moist. In addition, water carefully so as not to wash off the soil on the bulb. After emergence, slowly uncover the mat and straw to adapt the seedlings to high temperature and strong light environment.

The water level of early water horseshoe should be controlled at 2-3cm in the early stage. As it grows gradually, the water level should be deepened to 7- 10cm. After planting, water level should be lowered to 6-8cm, and water level should be lowered to 3- 5 cm in the heading stage. In winter, water level should be maintained at 1- 2 cm.
