The latest matters needing attention in mustard planting

Mustard is a kind of unique vegetable in our country. It can be used for both roots and leaves. People in many places call it kohlrabi. It can be directly fried or pickled. It can be planted in all parts of our country. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, mustard has become one of the favorite vegetables, the market demand is large, and the planting area is also gradually increasing. So let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to when growing mustard.

1. Time

The sowing time of mustard is mainly related to the planting area. In general, it can be planted in spring and autumn, but it is still mainly sown in autumn. In China's Changhuanghuai and other places, it is basically sown in July every year. The latest sowing time can not be later than October. Of course, the best sowing time is August, and the mustard planted in August has the best yield and quality. So we need to choose the right time to plant according to the specific situation.

2. Temperature

Mustard is a kind of cool vegetable, which is suitable to grow at a temperature of 15 to 25 degrees, so the problem of temperature should be taken into account when choosing the planting time. Generally, the place where the average temperature of the whole year can reach about 15 degrees is the most suitable for growing mustard. At the same time, we should pay attention to that the temperature of planting is higher than 30 degrees, otherwise it will affect the quality of mustard. In severe cases, it can cause the plant to die from the sun.

3. Accelerating budding

Before sowing, we need to treat and germinate the seeds of mustard. Generally speaking, the seeds of mustard are in a state of dormancy, so we need to dry the seeds. Then put the seeds in an environment with a temperature of three or four degrees to germinate, which usually takes two to three days to sow.

4. Sowing seeds

Mustard is generally sown by sowing, but what we should pay attention to when sowing is that the seeds should be scattered evenly, and the second is to press the seeds into the soil after sowing, so as not to be taken away by the wind or Rain Water. At the same time, it is also conducive to seed water absorption and promote the speed of budding. Finally, if you are not afraid of trouble, you can still use strip broadcasting, so that you can feed the late field management to reduce a certain amount of labor.

5. Density

Because the sowing method is generally used for sowing, the density is not controlled and needs to be adjusted in the later stage, so we carry out interseedling and replenishment when the mustard seedlings grow to a certain extent. at the same time, excess mustard seedlings can be transplanted, usually to ensure that at least 40,000 plants per mu Generally, it is planted at a distance of 50 to 55 centimeters between rows and 40 to 50 centimeters between plants, so that the normal growth of mustard can not be affected, and the density can be adjusted reasonably according to the fertility of the soil.

6. Water and fertilizer

Mustard is a relatively wet vegetable. If there is no rain after sowing, it needs to be watered twice to ensure the emergence rate of mustard, followed by timely watering after emergence, and then watering after planting. Finally, scientific watering is carried out according to the soil dryness in the field to ensure that the humidity in the field is at least above 70%. When preparing the soil, we should apply the base fertilizer according to the amount of 2,000 jin of organic fertilizer and 100 jin of compound fertilizer per mu, and then carry out the first topdressing after planting, mainly irrigating with nitrogen fertilizer, because mustard needs a lot of nutrients for its growth. therefore, at least four and five times of topdressing are needed in its whole growing period, and the specific fertilization situation needs to be fertilized scientifically according to the growth of mustard.
