Planting methods of grass and fruit

Grass fruit belongs to the plant fruit of cardamom of Zingiberaceae. It is mainly distributed in the high altitude areas of southern China, and it is an economic crop integrating medicine and food. Its fruit used in cooking can dispel the fishy smell, improve the taste of dishes, and the whole grass fruit tree has the raw material of aromatic oil. The fruit can also be used as traditional Chinese medicine and has a good effect on the treatment of abdominal distension and vomiting. So how to grow it if you want to grow it on a large scale? Let's have a look with the editor.

1. Selecting land to raise seedlings

Grass fruits like to grow in areas such as fertile soil and moderate sunlight, so when we choose planting land, we should choose places with sufficient water, fertile soil and about half of the shade. And to remove the surrounding excess trees and weeds, to prevent competition with grass and fruit for the necessary materials for growth. After selecting the land, we began to propagate seeds, select a mother plant with strong growth and high yield, and take an appropriate amount of ripe fruit. Then take out the seeds in the fruit, clean them, soak the seeds for about ten hours, and need to clean the stratum corneum of the seeds, which is conducive to germination and finally sow. Apply enough basic fertilizer, make a good seedbed, determine the planting density, pour enough water after sowing, cover with forage to conserve water and fertilizer.

2. Transplanting and planting

The seedling time of grass and fruit is usually chosen in autumn and winter every year. If it is properly managed, it usually begins to sprout and sprout after one month, and the seedling is finished in almost two months. The temperature of seed germination must not be lower than 15 degrees, otherwise seed germination will become very difficult, wait until the successful germination of seeds to prevent seedlings from direct sunlight, appropriate sunshade equipment. When planting, we should choose the soil with high humidity and sufficient nutrients, dig the planting hole, determine the planting density according to the planting quantity, do not plant the seedlings obliquely, and compact the soil after planting to prevent the loss of water and fertilizer.

3. Field management

The absorption capacity of grass and fruit is weak, so it is necessary to properly remove the weeds in the orchard and grasp the weeding time according to the growth of weeds in the orchard. In weeding, it is necessary to prevent damage to roots and plants, destroy plant nutrition absorption and affect growth. And before the plant blossoms, cultivate the soil to improve the growth rate of the plant, do not let the root exposed outside, to ensure the root nutrition absorption. The amount of water in the field should not be too much or too little, the stagnant water in the field should be discharged in time to prevent rotten flowers and roots, and should be irrigated in time in dry weather.

4. Pest control

Any crop will produce certain diseases and insect pests in the process of planting, and so is grass and fruit, so pest control is the most important in the process of planting grass and fruit. To often observe the plant, to be able to find the disease in time is the best, the general grass and fruit diseases are leaf spot and blight and so on. Carry on the concrete examination to the symptom produced by the plant, and then use the corresponding medicament to control the disease according to the actual disease situation. The insect pests are mainly drillworms, which will nibble on the inside of the plant, causing dead seedlings. Cut off the diseased plant in time and spray it with dichlorvos and other pesticides.

After all this is done, it needs to be harvested in time, and the fruit will be harvested and dried after the fruit is ripe, because the grass fruit is basically sold mainly by dried fruit. After drying, prevent storage in a place without water, and wait until it is necessary to put it on the market in time. Pay attention to pruning the plant in order to ensure the flowering and fruiting rate of the second year.
