How to grow the latest toad clothes

Toad clothes are also called plantain. Many people think that toad clothes and plantain are the same plant, but they are not. There are not only different growth environment and shape, but also different medicinal value between them. However, today the editor is not here to introduce the difference between them. Today's focus is to learn the planting techniques of toad clothes. Let's take a look at the following content.

1. Improvement of soil and fertilizer

Toad clothes are highly adaptable to the environment, so the requirements for the selection of planting sites are not strict, but they grow better in warm, moist, sunny, fertile sand. The pH value of the soil had better be slightly acidic, so that the toad clothes grow more vigorously. After selecting the planting site, if the soil conditions are not standard, we can improve the soil structure by means of soil preparation and fertilization. But in general, we are appropriate to add quicklime to the soil to neutralize alkalinity, and at the same time apply enough organic fertilizer.

2. Sowing seeds at the right time

Toad clothes can be planted in two seasons, from the end of March in spring to the half of April and the end of October in autumn. In order to improve the germination rate of toad seeds, we need to knead the seeds with fine sand before sowing, remove the oil from the outside of the seeds, then mix the seeds with carbendazim, and then sow the seeds evenly in the shallow ditch. The distance between each strip should be kept at a distance of 20 to 30 centimeters, and then cover the soil to cover the seeds and water them once. Of course, you can also sprinkle a layer of chemicals on the soil to control underground pests to increase the emergence rate of seeds.

3. Field management

Toad clothes will emerge about ten days after sowing. We should keep the soil moist and avoid drought during the breeding period. The growth rate of toad clothes is relatively slow, and weeds have a great impact on it, so we should often carry out intermediate ploughing and weeding, usually at least three or four times a year. When the toad clothes grew to about five centimeters, the seedlings were planted, and the distance between each plant was controlled at about fifteen centimeters. In order to increase the output of toad clothing and accelerate the growth rate of toad clothing, we need to apply fertilizer scientifically, which is generally divided into three or four times. The first is mainly irrigated with feces and urine; the second is needed to supplement nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron and other trace elements; the third is to supplement fertilizer according to the lack of element fertilizer in toad clothes. Finally, we also need to pay attention to the management of water in the field to avoid stagnant water in the field and cause rotting roots.

4. Disease and pest control

There are still many diseases in toad clothing, such as powdery mildew, ear blight, brown spot, white silk disease and so on. Before the onset of the disease, we can play a preventive role by strengthening the management of the field, but when the disease occurs, we have to restrain the spread of the disease at the initial stage of the disease, so carbendazim can be used for prevention and treatment. It is usually sprayed every five days, about four times in a row.

The survival rate of toad clothing cultivation is actually very high, but it will inevitably be damaged by diseases and insect pests, affecting the yield and quality of toad clothing, which means that it is very necessary to do a good job of field management. This is the end of what the editor is going to introduce to you today. If you are interested in the cultivation of toad clothes, you can follow us.
