Planting time and method of peppermint

Peppermint is an ornamental, edible and medicinal plant, which has a wide range of uses, powerful functions and good economic benefits, so now more and more people grow peppermint. Let's go to the pro-farm network to learn about the method and time of growing peppermint.

Planting time

The environment and climate are different in different places, so the planting time of peppermint should be based on local changes. Guangzhou and Hainan have higher temperatures and can be planted all the year round. The area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is planted around the beginning of April, when it is Rain Water season, the air humidity is high, it is easy to survive after planting, and the northern area can be planted in the greenhouse.

Planting method

1. Seed selection

Before planting, the selection of varieties with strong growth and strong disease resistance and good varieties are the prerequisites for high yield.

2. Raising seedlings

Unlike other crops, peppermint is not sown and propagated. Its propagation methods mainly include rhizome, ramet and cuttage. Rhizome propagation is carried out from April to August, and the plants with strong growth and no disease are selected as mother plants, and the rhizomes are left for planting after harvest; the seedlings growing 15cm are propagated in the seedlings, and the seedlings growing 15cm are transplanted; cutting propagation is carried out in May-June, the stem of peppermint is cut off, cuttings about 10cm are left, and the cuttings are cut on the seedling bed, and then they are naturally rooted and sprouted before transplanting.

3. Transplanting

When the seedlings grow to a certain extent, they can be transplanted. When transplanting, dig out the roots with soil together, and be careful not to damage the roots of the seedlings. The transplanting soil should be fertile, the terrain should be flat, the light should be sufficient, it is not easy to accumulate water, and most importantly, the transplanting site should not have planted peppermint for 2-3 years, otherwise it will affect the yield.

4. Field management

Seedling replanting should be checked in the seedling stage, seedlings should be checked in time, and replanting should be carried out at the lack of seedling points; weeds in the field should be removed during planting so as not to affect the yield of peppermint; peppermint needs more fertilizer and water in the growing season, so it should be watered and fertilized in time, usually once a month, thoroughly every time, and pay attention to the concentration of fertilization, so as not to cause root burning due to excessive concentration.

The above is the planting time and method of peppermint brought by pro-agricultural network for you. The mint harvest season is between September and October. Mastering good planting technology is the key point to increase the yield of mint. I hope this article can help you.
