The planting method of water celery

Many people don't know much about water celery, and some people even think that water celery is celery grown in water. In fact, water celery is a kind of wild vegetables, because the shape is very similar to celery, some places also call it wild celery, it is a very healthy vegetable. Now this kind of wild vegetable is also very popular in the market, so how to grow it? Let's give you a brief introduction by the editor.

1. Land selection and preparation

Water celery can be planted in most areas of our country, the most important of which is in the central and southern regions of our country. Water celery is a kind of plant that likes to be cool, moist, drought-resistant and heat-resistant. It is usually planted in paddy fields with rich soil, rich organic matter, strong fertilizer and water retention or beside rivers. Among them, the sufficient water source without pollution is a crucial condition. Soil preparation should be carried out about a week before sowing, and many deep digging should be carried out, and each mu should be sprinkled with sufficient organic fertilizer or cake fertilizer. The deeper and more times of ploughing, the higher the yield of water celery.

2. Seed selection and budding

We need to select the seed stem and accelerate the germination of the seed stem before sowing. Seed stem we generally choose a more robust, disease-free, more vigorous stem as the seed stem. Then tie the selected seed stems together, each about 20 to 30 centimeters thick. After they are tied up, pile them in a place where there is no sunlight and cover them with a layer of straw. Finally, water is watered once a day in the morning and once in the evening, which usually takes about a week to take root, and the rooting stems can be planted.

3. Timely planting

Water celery planting is usually in early September every year, too early and too late will affect the yield of water celery. Before planting, we need to cut the seed stem into a length of about 60 centimeters, and then plant the buds head up. At the same time, when planting, we also need to pay attention to the density of planting, usually about six to ten centimeters. The second is that the planting land should be relatively flat, the water in the field should not be too deep, and the water level can not be raised slowly until the cress grows seedlings.

4. Field management

When the seedlings grow out of the water, that is, about three or four true leaves, we need to be the most fertile to promote the rapid growth of the plant. In the later stage, fertilizer is usually applied once a week or about a month, mainly urea. Aphids run through the whole growing period of water celery, so get rid of aphids every time you fertilize. After the water celery has basically taken root, we need to discharge the water from the field and dry it for a period of time, and then slowly inject water into the field. The water depth is determined according to the growth of water celery, which is five or six centimeters, 25 to 30 centimeters, respectively. Always keep the field water celery seedlings about 15 centimeters high on the water surface in Shanghai.

5. Rational harvesting

The harvest time of water celery is generally around November of each year, but there is no specific standard, because the planting time and planting area are different, so the harvest time is also different. At the same time, we can also decide according to the market price and market demand, harvest when the price is high, the economic benefit is higher. Finally, water celery is most popular during New Year's Day and the Spring Festival.

The above is a relatively simple method for the cultivation of water celery. I believe you also have a certain understanding of the cultivation of water celery.
