How do grass corals grow seedlings?

1. Sowing seeds

Grass corals are usually sown between February and March. On the whole seedbed, a sowing ditch with a depth of three centimeters is opened according to the row spacing of 20 centimeters. The seeds are evenly scattered in the ditch and covered with fire soil ash or lethal fine soil, so that no seeds can be seen. The seedlings will emerge about 20 days after sowing, and the cover grass will be removed in time. If the seedling stage is managed carefully, it can be planted in the nursery between November and December of that year.

2. Transplanting

Grass coral seed seedlings are usually transplanted from November to December of that year or from February to March of the following spring. In the whole border, the plant should be planted according to the row spacing of 20: 30 cm, and the root water should be watered thoroughly. After survival, it is necessary to strengthen the management of the field in time. Check seedlings in time after transplanting, and if dead seedlings are found to be missing, they should be replanted with soil to ensure the whole seedling.

3. Ploughing, drainage and irrigation

Grass coral seedling stage should be timely removal of weeds in the field, and appropriate ploughing and loosening soil. It is generally ploughed three to four times a year to keep the soil loose and free of weeds. Always keep the soil moist after planting, and irrigate and water in time in case of drought. Rainy seasons, such as stagnant water in the field, should be eliminated in time so as not to cause rotten roots.

4. Reasonable topdressing

The combination of cultivating soil in winter, applying farm manure once, applying fence fertilizer or retting fertilizer to the plant rhizosphere, and raising the soil at the edge of the ditch to cover fertilizer can not only keep warm and prevent cold, but also promote the early growth and rapid growth of plants in the next spring.

5. Intercropping shading

If planting is carried out on hillsides and drained fields without shading conditions, tall stalk crops such as corn can be planted in the fields, and tall stalk crops can be used for proper shading. Through the management of intercropping crops, we can not only promote the growth of grass coral, but also increase the economic income.

So far, no serious diseases and insect pests have been found, so there is no need for prevention and control. However, if the shading condition in the field is not good, in the summer with strong sunshine, the leaves will be burned, the leaf tip or leaf green will be spotted, and the whole leaf will be scorched seriously. Irrigation can be used to reduce the temperature and improve the shading conditions to reduce the harm.

It costs 3 yuan per kilogram for fresh products and 8 yuan per kilogram for dry products.
