How to plant the latest motherwort

Motherwort is a very commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, especially for women, and it is of great benefit to the recuperation of women's body. now many women do not pay attention to diet during menstruation, so they will produce all kinds of gynecological diseases. therefore, you can use motherwort to make tea, which has a certain role in the prevention and treatment of these diseases, and secondly, it has some other effects, which can be used in more places in daily life. So how to grow motherwort? Next, let's learn from the pro-agricultural network.

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

Motherwort is a kind of sun-loving plant, and it has certain requirements for the planting environment. Although it can be planted in all parts of our country, it is generally selected in the loose land with sufficient nutrients and light, close to the water source and good drainage function and air permeability. It is necessary to turn 15 to 20 centimeters deep during soil preparation, so that the impact of some insect pests on motherwort can be reduced. finally, the land will be leveled, sprinkled with about 4,000 jin of farm manure as base fertilizer, and ditched to make beds, waiting for sowing.

2. Sowing seeds at the right time

The planting time of motherwort should be selected according to the local climate. In general, motherwort can be sown in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the main reason is also related to the local climate. In the north, it is generally sown in summer, because vacant land can be used, but the best sowing time is spring sowing and autumn sowing, so the yield will be better. So it is usually February to March and September to October every year.

3. Scientific sowing

There are many ways to sow motherwort, but at present, most of them use strip sowing to make small ditches on the whole land, and then sprinkle the seeds evenly in the ditches, and finally cover the seeds with soil. But in some places, on demand is used, that is, according to a certain distance, the seeds are scattered evenly, then pressed into the soil, and finally sprinkled with a layer of fine soil to cover the seeds. There is also a kind of intensive cultivation, which uses the way of transplanting, that is, to cultivate good seedlings first, and then wake up and transplant when motherwort seedlings grow to about 10 to 15 centimeters, and the planting density is about 30 centimeters or 20 centimeters away from the plant.

4. Field management

In general, strips are picked for sowing, so it is necessary to carry out various matters such as seedlings, as well as replenishing seedlings, and we separate the excess seedlings according to a reasonable density. Watering and fertilization should be carried out after planting, which can ensure the survival rate of supplementary seedlings and promote the growth of motherwort. When motherwort grows to about 40 centimeters, it needs to be ploughed and weeded. During this period, it needs to be fertilized again, with an average of about 4,000 jin of farm manure per mu and about 30 jin of urea mixed with water. When motherwort grows to one meter, it needs to be weeded and fertilized for the last time, which is the same as the second time.

5. Pest control

Motherwort has strong disease resistance, but there are occasionally soft rot and powdery mildew, these two diseases are caused by high temperature and rain, but the control methods are different, and the onset period is also different. Soft rot generally occurs in the seedling stage, we can use carbendazim for control, while powdery mildew occurs in the middle and later stages of motherwort growth, which can be controlled with fenrueling wettable powder. Finally, aphids and red spiders often appear in the field, which can be sprayed with imidacloprid.
