Notes on the latest planting of Achyranthes bidentata

Achyranthes bidentata is a kind of commonly used medicine. in recent years, the demand for Achyranthes bidentata is increasing, and the wild resources in many areas have been almost exploited, so it is followed by another era of artificial planting, but what problems do we need to pay attention to when planting Achyranthes bidentata to ensure its yield and quality? Next, let's follow the pro-farm network to have a look.

1. Time

The planting time of Achyranthes bidentata is related to the region where it is located. because Achyranthes bidentata likes the warm and humid climate, it is usually planted in summer. In the capital of our country, it is generally the most suitable time to sow in May and June. In Henan, Wuhan and other areas, it is best to plant in July, when the plague season is high-temperature and rainy, which is just suitable for the growth of Achyranthes bidentata. During this period, the best temperature for planting is between 20 and 248 degrees, and the lowest temperature is not ten degrees. Achyranthes bidentata will stop growing below ten degrees.

2. Density

Achyranthes bidentata belongs to tuber, and its branches and leaves can also be used as medicine, so in order to ensure its normal growth, absorb enough nutrients and have enough sunlight, we must pay attention to the density when planting. It can't be too big or too small, so we usually use the distance between plants is 15 cm, and the distance between rows is 20 cm. In this way, the plant can grow rapidly when it grows to a certain extent.

3. Fertilizer and water

Fertilizer and water management is an important part of Achyranthes bidentata planting. We generally use farm manure and livestock manure to control the amount of basic fertilizer between 3,000 jin and 4,000 jin. Two water, three fertilizers and three weeds are needed in the growth link. The first watering is after sowing, and the second watering is when Achyranthes bidentata begins to grow tubers. The first topdressing is when the buds grow to about five centimeters. Generally, urea and phosphate fertilizer are irrigated with water, with an average of 50kg per mu. The second fertilization is one month after the first fertilization, which is mainly to raise seedlings. And ensure that the tuber of achyranthes bidentata enters the expansion stage smoothly. The third time is the rapid growth period of tubers, with an average of 50 kilograms of potash fertilizer and 30 kilograms of boron fertilizer per mu, and then you can spray some special root fertilizer for medicinal materials, weeding and fertilization are carried out at the same time.

4. Diseases and insect pests

Leaf spot disease and root rot disease have a serious impact on the yield of Achyranthes bidentata. The symptom of leaf spot disease is the appearance of black river spots on the leaf surface, which will cause the whole plant to wither. The effective control method is to spray 1: 1: 120 Bordeaux solution or 65% desenamine 500 times solution, once every ten days or so, twice in a row. Root rot is caused by local rot, resulting in plant death, generally using carbendazim for spraying. The main pests are Spodoptera litura and red spiders. We can kill them manually or spray them with insecticides. The most effective agent is to spray 90% trichlorfon 1000-1500 times, or add 40% dimethoate 2000 times.

These are some of the problems that need to be paid attention to in the cultivation of Achyranthes bidentata. As long as we grasp these details and standardize the planting according to the planting method of Achyranthes bidentata, the yield of Achyranthes bidentata will not be too low.
