The latest planting method of Screw vegetable

Snail vegetable is the underground rhizome of Labiatae plant mandarin, also known as Bombyx mori, Bombyx mori and Ginseng, which is named because it looks like a screw. Its meat is thick, the taste is crisp and tender, and it can be preserved into candied fruit. It tastes excellent and is nutritious. Many people like it. Let's take a look at its planting method.

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

Snail vegetables have strong environmental adaptability, cold resistance and heat resistance, in general, there are few diseases and insect pests, like fertilizer but afraid of waterlogging, so it is appropriate to choose fertile and loose sandy soil when planting, and it is best to plant in areas with convenient drainage and irrigation. In the autumn of last year, we ploughed the land, ploughed it and used the sun to reduce the source of overwintering diseases and insect pests. 1500 kg of farm manure and other compound fertilizers were applied per mu and raked fine and leveled in the early spring of the same year.

2. Sowing seeds

The varieties are selected according to the local climate and soil conditions when planting, and the tuber propagation is selected when the snail is planted. Once the sowing time is thawed for 10-15cm, it can be ditched and sown on demand. Sowing depth is 5-7cm, should not be too deep or too shallow, control plant row spacing in 15 × 30-45cm, each hole sowing 1-2 uniform size, disease-free, robust tuber, sowing soil can be suppressed after sowing. Generally, it is controlled at about 1-1.5 plants per mu, and the amount of seeds used is about 100 kg.

3. Field management

Weeding should be carried out after emergence, one is to loosen the soil to promote the growth of rhizomes, and the other is to avoid weeds affecting the growth of seedlings, weeding is recommended to be pulled out manually, do not use chemicals, if it is planted in a large area, less harmful agents can be used. There is also appropriate cultivation to avoid exposed stolons, in the tuber expansion period, to stop ploughing, so as not to hurt the tuber, in addition, if the plant growth is too strong, it should be properly pruned to inhibit its growth.

4. Fertilizer and water management

After applying sufficient base fertilizer, quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer was the main topdressing in the later stage, usually 10 kg urea per mu from May to June and once in July. When it comes to the tuber expansion period in August, it is necessary to re-apply expansion fertilizer, in addition to the continued application of urea, there is also phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, 30 kg of diammonium phosphate per mu, so as to avoid premature senescence and accelerate tuber expansion. For water management is relatively simple, watering in the drought, but into the summer days do not irrigation, and in the rainy season timely drainage and waterlogging, so as to avoid rotting roots.
