It has the effect of regulating qi, broadening chest and invigorating yang. it can be used to treat chest arthralgia and heartache, abdominal pain and discomfort, severe diarrhea, sores and furuncles, lung asthma and other diseases. So how to grow Allium macrostemon? So, today let's learn how to grow it.

1. Land preparation and cultivation

Wild Allium macrostemon generally grows on low-altitude hillsides, hills, wasteland and fields, and can be found in many parts of the countryside. Allium macrostemon has no requirements for planting land, and it is timely to say that land that can generally grow crops, or even land that cannot grow crops, can be planted. When preparing the soil, we should pay attention to clean up the weeds and pupae in the field, and then cultivate them carefully and apply sufficient basic fertilizer.

2. Scientific sowing

The planting of Allium macrostemon is usually carried out around August every year, and seed propagation or ramet propagation can be used. Ramet propagation is only suitable for small area planting, with fast growth rate and high survival rate. Seed reproduction is a relatively general planting method, but before sowing, hot water at a temperature of about 50 degrees is needed for hot seeds, and it is constantly stirred, pulled out four hours later, drained, and placed at a temperature of 20 degrees to accelerate germination. About 50% of the seeds can be sown after they germinate. after sowing, they need to cover the seeds with soil and cover them with plastic film to keep them warm and humid to promote seedling emergence.

3. Reasonable close planting

Planting we need to pay attention to is the density of planting, in general, according to the row spacing of 20 cm, plant spacing of about 6 to 10 cm interval. In the week after planting, we should observe the growth of seedlings in the field, if there is the phenomenon of dead seedlings, we should replenish the seedlings in time.

4. Field management

After the planting has survived, if there is no rain, it needs to be watered to ensure that the field is moist. Generally speaking, in the case of adequate application of base fertilizer, there is no need for topdressing in the later stage, but it depends on the specific situation. If the seedlings of Allium macrostemon in the field are relatively slender, and there seems to be no water, and there is a slow phenomenon of withering and yellowing, there are generally two reasons, one is lack of water, the other is lack of fertilizer. So we can use feces and urine water or efficient nitrogen fertilizer for irrigation. Finally, we should pay attention to the scientific cultivation of soil to enhance the permeability of soil and promote the growth of Allium macrostemon. Another reason for soil cultivation is to prevent the underground bulbs of Allium macrostemon from turning green and affecting the quality.

5. Pest control

The resistance of Allium macrostemon is strong, there are few diseases and insect pests, and even if the disease is not very serious. Among them, the common diseases are downy mildew, anthrax and so on. In order to avoid the occurrence of diseases, we usually take preventive measures, such as selecting disease-free seeds, crop rotation, strengthening water management in the field and scientific fertilizer use. The second is that it can be used to prevent and cure the disease. The main pest of Allium macrostemon is thrips, which can be controlled by imidacloprid.
