How to plant plantain

Some friends will think that plantain is a banana, but in fact there is a difference between the two. The planting conditions of plantains are stricter than bananas, and plantains will also have certain advantages in terms of yield. at present, there are a certain number of plantains in the south of China, so how to grow plantains? Friends who want to plant plantains can read this article carefully.

1. Land consolidation

There are requirements for the selection of plantain land. The land must be relatively cool, the moisture must be sufficient, and secondly, the soil fertility must be good, otherwise the fruit yield of plantain will be restrained. After selecting the land, turn the soil, turn the soil a little deeper, can not have too large soil blocks, turn the soil at the same time need to apply some organic fertilizer under the soil layer. After the land is turned over, it needs to be leveled into a ridge, the width of each cage is about 1-1.2 meters, and the middle groove is about 30 centimeters wide. Grass roots should clear the land as far as possible, and do not accumulate in the land, so as not to leave pathogens.

2. Cultivation and transplanting

Plantain transplantation is mostly carried out in the way of planting, so when selecting seeds, you must choose those in good condition. Although it can also be cultivated with seeds, it is not worth the time and money spent. Around the end of October, take cold protection measures for the parts to be transplanted in the coming year, and apply a little fertilizer to speed up its growth. The transplant time generally begins in April, and the split roots that were originally intended for transplantation are found from the roots, and the parts with bud heads are selected to be truncated, generally with 3 bud heads as the best. The plantain tree with roots is at least 3 years old, the roots to be planted should be erected in the pit and completely covered with soil, and then apply a certain amount of farm manure on the soil. If the weather is colder, we should also cover it with withered grass and wait for it to break the soil on its own.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Plantain has higher requirements for fertilizer and water, less water, less fruit, less fertilizer, and poor fruit development. At the initial stage, it is usually watered once a month, and the same is true of fertilization. Every time the water should be wet through the soil, it is best to irrigate the root directly. If the root is moist, you can choose to postpone it so as not to form stagnant water. It is necessary to apply more organic fertilizer at the initial stage, so that the plantain tree can grow well, and the appropriate supplement of nitrogen fertilizer in the middle stage can effectively ensure the strength of its branches.

4. Points for attention

In winter, we should pay attention to protect the banana tree from the cold. The temperature below 0 ℃ will hurt the big banana tree. You can use some withered grass to make a protective ring on its roots. Banana tree is not the thicker the better, for some yellowed, withered leaves should be removed in time, especially in the fruit time can be appropriate to remove some old leaves, in order to reduce unnecessary nutrition loss. Although the banana tree likes shade, but the normal sunlight exposure is still necessary, for places with relatively strong light, it is best to have certain sunscreen measures.

Banana tree is a kind of plant with strong vitality, which belongs to multi-harvest system. In addition to the energy-consuming in the initial stage of transplanting, the management in the later stage is relatively easy. As far as the planting industry is concerned, it is a kind of plant with good economic value and easy to use. Friends with ideas can follow our website and learn more about it.
