Let's take a look at the seed price and planting method of motherwort.

How much is the seed of motherwort per jin?

The price of motherwort seeds is about 40-60 yuan per jin, but it varies according to the quality, variety, producing area and market of the seeds. Motherwort uses seed reproduction in production, planting by direct seeding method, mixing seeds with fire ash or fine soil fertilizer before sowing, and then mixing seeds with human and animal feces and urine and new high-fat film to ward off underground diseases and insects, isolate virus infection, strengthen respiratory intensity, and improve seed germination rate. select the seeds that are fresh and the germination rate is more than 80% in that year, and the burrow sowers prepare 400g / mu and 500g / mu respectively.

Sowing method of Leonurus

1. Land selection and land preparation: motherwort is prepared before sowing, compost or rotten barnyard manure 1500-2000 kg per mu is used as base manure, ploughed and raked fine and leveled. The broadcasters make the whole 130 cm wide high beds, while the hole sowers can not make the whole beds, but they should open a good size of drainage ditches according to the terrain.

2. Seed treatment: before sowing, motherwort seeds were mixed with fire ash or fine soil fertilizer, and then mixed with human and animal feces and urine and new high-fat film to ward off underground diseases and insects, isolate virus infection, strengthen respiratory intensity and improve seed germination rate.

3. Sowing time: early maturing varieties of motherwort can be sowed in autumn, spring or summer, winter motherwort must be sowed in autumn, and it is appropriate to sow in spring from Rain Water to hibernation. Summer sowing is used in the north to make use of summer leisure land, and autumn sowing is adopted in low temperature areas.

4. sowing method: motherwort sowing has strip sowing, hole sowing and sowing, strip sowing is often used in plain area, hole sowing is mostly used in sloping land, and sowing is not adopted. Mixing seeds with fire ash or fine soil fertilizer before sowing can not only ensure the growth and nutrition, but also prevent insect pests.

Planting methods of motherwort

The main results are as follows: 1. Replenishing seedlings: motherwort seedlings start with a height of about 5 cm, and then proceed for 2 or 3 times. When the height of seedlings is 15 cm, the seedlings are fixed. Strip sowing takes the wrong plants to keep seedlings, the distance between plants is about 10 cm, and there are 3 seedlings left in each hole. It is found that missing seedlings should be transplanted and replanted in time.

2. Intermediate ploughing and weeding: motherwort is sown in spring and ploughed and weeded three times, when the seedling height is 5 cm, 15 cm and 30 cm, summer sowing is carried out according to plant growth, autumn sowing is the first time to weed when the seedlings grow 3-4 true leaves, and then ploughing and weeding three times in the following year.

3. Cultivate soil and protect roots: when ploughing and weeding motherwort, do not turn too deep so as not to hurt the roots. In the seedling stage, you should protect the seedlings from being oppressed by soil clods, and do not touch the seedling stem. Cultivate the soil and protect the roots after the last ploughing.

4. Water and fertilizer management: motherwort should be fertilized once after weeding, and it is better to apply nitrogen fertilizer. Urea, ammonium sulfate, cake fertilizer or human and animal manure can be used. Attention should be paid to watering when topdressing, and fertilizer should not be too thick to avoid damaging seedlings. Rain Water should prevent stagnant water when he is concentrated in the rainy season.

5. Disease and pest control: motherwort powdery mildew is controlled with 1000 times of Rhizoctonia sclerotiorum before and after the disease. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum can be sprayed with Rhizoctonia solani 500 or 300 times Bordeaux, aphids are controlled with chemical agents, and small tigers are killed in the morning or trapped by heap grass.
