How to plant lettuce for high yield

Lettuce is a green lettuce that many people like to eat, because it can be eaten raw and cooked. Many people like to wrap lettuce with a piece of barbecue when eating barbecue. So the market demand for lettuce is relatively large, and there are more and more growers, so do you know how to plant in order to be high-yielding? Below, the editor brings several methods.

1. Apply sufficient base fertilizer

Because the growth rate of lettuce is faster, the growth is also faster, and the yield is high, but relatively speaking, more base fertilizer is needed. In the selection of land will be fine soil preparation, the soil can not be too dry and hard, high fertilizer content, it is best to choose sandy soil and then fully apply the bottom fertilizer. In order to ensure the nutrition needed in the process of lettuce growth, high-yield and high-quality products need balanced fertilization according to the growth law of lettuce. It is mainly used with organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer, and then ploughed with farm manure about 5500kg and three compound fertilizers.

2. Prepare the land and make beds.

When growing lettuce on a large scale, in order to easily manage the lettuce in various places, the field beds should be made according to the local weather and environment. The bed can be made in spring and autumn, and the field bed can be made a little higher in summer. Generally speaking, the width of the border is about 1 meter, the depth of the ditch is about 0.3 meters, and the height is about 0.2 meters.

3. Reasonable close planting

Planting density is too dense and sparse will affect the growth and development of lettuce, the main density depends on the quality and environment. The row spacing of the more precocious varieties is generally left, middle and right in 0.3m*0.2m, while the early and late maturing products should be properly sparsely planted, with the row spacing around 0.35m*0.25m. The row spacing of varieties such as loose leaves can be about 0.2m*0.15m, which should be closely planted in summer, because this can prevent lettuce from being exposed to the sun.

4. Planting with water

Generally, the time of planting is in the afternoon, when the sun is small, it should be planted according to the row spacing. The depth should not be too deep, flush with the ground plane. After planting, the soil should be watered in time and sealed with water. The day before the emergence of seedlings, the garden should be filled with water and the seedling soil should be wet. Then, after a week of planting, the soil is properly watered according to the dry and wet condition of the soil. In this way, the water needed by the seedlings in the initial stage can be fully guaranteed and the normal growth and development can be achieved.

In fact, the method of high yield is very simple, as long as the planting method is correct, the high yield of lettuce can be ensured. The above methods are not only useful for lettuce, but also for other green vegetables. I hope that after you have mastered the above methods, you can achieve high efficiency and high yield. I hope it will be helpful to you.
