How to grow Euryale seed

Euryale is a large aquatic herb, belonging to the Nymphaeaceae. Euryale is planted in marshes, ponds, lakes, rice fields and other places in the north and south of our country. The most important thing is to be close to the source of water. It has great effects on male and gynecological diseases, such as tonifying kidney, strengthening essence, removing dampness and stopping belt. So how to grow Euryale seeds would be better? Let's take a look at it next.

1. Soaking seeds to accelerate germination

Before planting, we need to treat the seeds of Euryale. Usually, we soak the seeds from the beginning of April to the middle and late April of each year, rinse the seeds with clean water, and then soak the seeds in a basin filled with water. as long as the water depth in the basin can cover the seeds, soak for at least one week to ten days, and change the water at least three to four times in the process of soaking. The temperature of the water should be at least 15 to 25 degrees in order to speed up the germination of Euryale seeds.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

On the third day after soaking the seeds, we can first prepare the seedbed for sowing. Euryale is an aquatic plant, so we need to dig Ajing's seedbed to a depth of about 20 centimeters, and then inject 10 centimeters of water. Wait until the water is clear and gently put the seeds into the seedbed. In this process, it should be noted that we should always keep the water level in the seedbed at least to about 15 centimeters, specifically according to the growth of Euryale seedlings to add and reduce water.

3. Scientific false planting

In fact, pseudo-planting is what we often call transplanting, this transplanting is essentially different, mainly in another place for seedling cultivation. After Euryale has grown for a month, the seedlings of Euryale have about three or four leaves. At this time, we can prepare for transplanting. First, we need to deal with the transplanting land, put the water level of the planting ground to about 10 cm, then uproot the Euryale seedlings, wash the soil, and then gently insert the seedlings into the prepared ground, waiting for the seedlings after pseudo-planting to grow new leaves. Gradually raise the water level in the field, each time the water depth can not drown the heart leaves.

4. Rational planting

When the seedlings of Euryale after pseudo-planting grow to a certain extent, we can plant them, usually at a distance of about 30 to 35 centimeters. It is best to plant an average of 150 Euryale seeds per mu, and it is necessary to remove weeds in the field when planting, so that nutrients can be fully utilized, thus speeding up the growth rate.

5. Field management

We should observe whether there is a shortage of seedlings in the field, and if there is a lack of seedlings, we should replenish the seedlings in time, and if we find that some Euryale seedlings do not grow well or have diseases and insect pests, we should pull them out in time, and replenish the new seedlings in time after disinfection. The second is that the water depth in the field is about 35 cm after planting, and the water level should be raised in time after Euryale seed survives, preferably about 60 cm or 70 cm. The maximum water level in the planting area should not exceed 1.5 meters, otherwise it will affect the normal growth of Euryale seeds. In general, the number of fertilization in the whole growth process of Euryale is about three to four times, in which reasonable fertilization is mainly carried out according to the specific growth conditions of Euryale, generally using organic rot fertilizer and compound fertilizer, and the combined use of potash fertilizer and urea, which can improve the yield and quality of Euryale. When the summer temperature is high, we need to add an appropriate amount of cold water to the planting area to maintain the water temperature. Finally, the most common diseases of Euryale Euryale are leaf spot disease and leaf tumor disease, which can be controlled by carbendazim and methyl topiramate respectively.

6. Timely harvest

Euryale is relatively smooth all over the body, but there are a few thorns on the back of the leaves, so you should be more careful when harvesting, otherwise you will hurt your hand. it can be harvested about nine to eleven times a year, usually in August every year, usually every five or six days or so. It is important to note that when we harvest, we harvest the softer Euryale, which is full, smooth and purplish red, so that it is ripe, and if it does not meet the requirements, save it for the next harvest.
