The latest course of cultivation techniques and methods of Phoenix tail Grass

Phoenix tail grass, also known as chicken foot grass, golden chicken tail, etc., it is a kind of fern, has a certain medicinal value, is often used to treat dysentery, enteritis, hematochezia and other diseases. Wild Phoenix tail grass generally grows in cool and humid places in the mountains, but there are still plenty of wild resources at present. But in some places, there is also artificial planting of Phoenix tail grass, so do you know how to grow it? Next, let's learn the artificial cultivation techniques of Phoenix tail grass.

1. Daejeon preparation

Phoenix tail grass has the characteristics of being moist, half-shaded, warm and adaptable, and generally grows better in places where there is no direct sunlight. The requirements of the soil of the planting land are not strict, and Ali can be used to cultivate other crops or places suitable for the growth of ferns. However, it should be noted that there should be shade around the planting land, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of management in the later stage. Soil preparation should be deeply ploughed, and then sufficient base fertilizer should be applied to the soil, mainly farm manure, with the amount of fertilizer controlled at about 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms per mu to ensure adequate soil fertility. Finally, the land will be leveled and ditches will be opened for planting.

2. Planting method

There are two methods of propagation of Pteris angustifolia, which are spore reproduction and plant division, but when we carry out artificial planting, we use plant division propagation most often. Generally, in the spring, the mother roots of Phoenix tail grass are dug out, and then the mother roots of different sizes are divided into two to five small plants, and then planted in holes. When planting, the distance of each plant is about ten centimeters. After covering the soil and planting, the ground should be compacted and watered again.

3. Field management

After planting, if the field is relatively empty without shade, we need to build a shade shed to control the light intensity at about 30%. In the growth process of Phoenix tail grass, many times of ploughing and weeding should be carried out, and the humidity of the planting land should be maintained. It should be watered in time in the dry season and properly drained in the rainy season, because the humidity is too low or too high, which is disadvantageous to the growth of Phoenix tail grass. Finally, we should pay attention to topdressing. The demand for nutrients for the growth of Phoenix tail grass is not very high, so it is only necessary to apply liquid fertilizer about three times a year.

4. Harvesting and processing

There is a big difference between the harvest of Phoenix tail grass and other medicinal herbs and other crops. Phoenix tail grass can generally be harvested all the year round, and we have to retain some of it when harvesting, because if part of the roots are retained after harvest, then topdressing will grow again, which can increase the yield of Phoenix tail grass. Secondly, it should be washed clean after harvest, can be used directly fresh, can also be used after drying, but drying can prolong its preservation time.

The cultivation of Phoenix tail grass is very simple, and now there are wild resources in many places, and it is much easier to obtain seeds than other precious medicinal materials. In addition, the cost of planting Phoenix tail grass is very low, so this is the reason why some people plant it.
