First, how to select cattail seeds?

Cattail seeds must be selected with high quality, so as to promote its growth more luxuriantly, have a high yield and obtain greater benefits. When buying cattail seeds, of course, we should pay attention to the price, and remember not to be cheap. The seeds sold at low prices on the market are often of poor quality, which will seriously affect the growth of plants. So do not ignore the quality of seeds in order to save some small money, resulting in poor plant growth, then lose the big because of the small.

2. Seedling raising methods of cattail seeds

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

It is appropriate to choose a marsh or beach along the edge of rivers and lakes with deep silt layer and rich in organic matter. If the underwater soil of the planting plot is soft and fertile, there is no need for ploughing, weeds can be cleared and slightly leveled. However, if the underwater soil is hard and the fertility is insufficient, ploughing should be carried out and 5000 kilograms of human feces and urine per mu should be used as base fertilizer.

2. Methods of reproduction

Typha cattail has strong growth and strong vitality, so the method of reproduction should be relatively simple. Ramet or sowing are used in production. Ramet propagation is carried out from April to June. The robust lower rhizome of cattail is dug out and cut into several segments with buds, which can be planted. Sowing and reproduction are all carried out in the spring, and the seeds can be sowed in the soil to keep the soil moist and not be planted until they grow into seedlings in summer.

3. Colonization

The planting time can be chosen from spring to summer, when the temperature is mostly 15-25 degrees, the survival rate is high. When planting, the ramet with strong growth was selected as the seedling, and the seedlings were required to be dug out with roots, and planted with digging, and the row spacing was controlled at 50 × 50cm. If the leaves of the seedlings are too long, the top can be cut off to avoid lodging caused by the plant being too high.

4. Field management

Cattail requires that the water depth is moderate, keep the water depth 15-20cm in the early stage, and deepen the water level continuously with the growth of the plant in the later stage, but the maximum depth should not exceed 1.2m. The control of water depth determines the yield and quality of cattail. After one month of planting, it is generally necessary to topdressing once, applying manure or stable manure 1000 or 1500 kg per mu, and topdressing 1-2 times in the later stage depending on the growth of the plant. When the culm grows out of the water in summer, it should be pulled out in time, and at the same time, the tender stalks or leaves can be peeled off to control the density reasonably and make its distribution uniform.

After reading the above, you can also know that the economic value of cattail is not low, it can be said that the whole body is a treasure, so the planting prospect is still considerable, if you want to plant money, you have to pay attention to the selection of high-quality seeds. In addition, you can also learn from some of the breeding methods mentioned above. I hope this article can help you.
