How to grow the latest clover?

Clover (clover is a rare variety of clover, meaning lucky clover) is a general name for a variety of herbs with three finger-shaped compound leaves, also known as white clover, white clover, Dutch warbler, etc., with three leaves, very cute and likable, let's take a look at how to grow clover!

Growth habits of clover

Clover likes warm, sunny, good drainage environmental conditions, lax requirements on the soil, can adapt to various soil types, grow well on acidic soil, strong cold resistance, some old leaves withered and yellow when the temperature drops to 0 ℃, leaflets on the main root close to the ground, stop growing, but other leaves remain green, easy to grow in strong shade, resulting in poor growth, resistance to harmful gas pollution and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests.

Sowing and propagation of clover

1. Sowing time: clover can be sowed in spring or autumn, spring in late March, autumn in mid-September, autumn sowing in the south, spring sowing in the north, and sowing in summer, but the topsoil must be moist or shaded with mulch after sowing. The suitable sowing rate of clover is 8 grams per square meter, and there are 1400 and 2000 seeds per gram of clover. Theoretically, one seed per square centimeter of soil can meet the needs of forming a flat, and the actual sowing rate is larger than the theoretical sowing amount.

2. Sowing method: when sowing clover, divide the seeds equally according to the area of the land and the determined sowing amount, mix the seeds with dry soil or fine river sand, and sow them manually. If the lawn is planted in a large area, it can be sown with a whirlwind seeder with a depth of 1 cm 1.5 cm. After sowing the seeds into the lawn bed, the seeds can be raked into the soil with lawn rakes, or covered with fertile soil or substrate.

Planting method of clover

The main results are as follows: 1. Soil selection: the seeds of clover are small, the emergence ability of seedlings is weak, and the growth at seedling stage is extremely slow. Before planting, it is necessary to plough the ground deeply, level the ground, break the soil into pieces, and make the sowing layer soil loose and flat.

2. Timely fertilization: clover itself has the ability of nitrogen fixation, but rhizobium has not been formed at seedling stage, so a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be added to strengthen seedlings, and the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer has a good effect on increasing production. When clover grows up, only phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is needed.

3. Maintenance and management: clover has higher requirements for soil moisture, and if there are irrigation conditions, it may be irrigated with topdressing when the soil is dry. The clover lawn which has been growing for more than 2 years has compact soil layer and poor air permeability. before turning green in spring and autumn and before regeneration after grazing and cutting, it is necessary to rake and loosen the soil, combined with soil topdressing to facilitate the growth and development of new buds and roots.

4. pest control: there are few diseases of clover, but sometimes brown spot and powdery mildew occur when harvested in time, which can be cut and used first, and then controlled with Bordeaux solution, stone-sulfur mixture or carbendazim. The stems and leaves are easily harmed by shell insects and sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate emulsion.
