Planting conditions of Maka

Maka is a kind of cruciferous plant, the rhizome is like small round radish, it is a pure natural food, it is also a medicinal material with high medicinal value, and it is very expensive in the market. Many people are attracted by its high price and come up with the idea of planting, but it can not be planted in any region. It is harsh to the growth environment and can only be planted in a specific environment. Let's take a look at its planting conditions.

1. Suitable altitude

Artificial cultivation of Maka must first meet this condition. Maka is suitable to grow in the alpine zone of the plateau and mountain area at an altitude of 3200-4000 meters. Because Maka is a cold-tolerant plant on the plateau, it is not suitable to grow at a lower altitude, and the condition of high altitude is also the main point that limits the artificial cultivation of Maka. This kind of environment must be overcome when planting, especially altitude sickness, so the planting cost is higher and the yield is lower.

2. Air temperature

Many plants have temperature requirements. For example, tropical plants are difficult to survive in temperate zones. Maka has special requirements for temperature. It likes the environment with large temperature difference between day and night, and the greater the temperature difference is, the more beneficial it is to its growth, and its efficacy will be greater. China can achieve this environment with a large temperature difference only near the Tropic of Cancer, which belongs to the tropics and subtropics. The temperature difference in this area is more than 20-30 degrees, which can meet the temperature difference needed for Maka's growth.

3. Soil

Maka is also strict with the soil, the best soil for its growth is sandy soil with good drainage, and the pH value of the soil is preferably acidic. And Maka has a strong absorption of soil fertility, if the soil fertility is not enough, it is not suitable for its growth, after each harvest, the planting land needs to be cultivated for several years before it can continue to grow.

4 、 Rain Water

Abundant Rain Water also limits its planting conditions. generally, plants growing at low latitudes have higher requirements for Rain Water. When planting, in addition to abundant Rain Water, there are freshwater lakes or harmony nearby, so that it is convenient to irrigate and meet its water needs.

The above are the planting conditions of Maka, for the growth conditions of Maka, at present, only the Yulong Snow Mountain area in Lijiang, Yunnan Province is in line with its growth. If you want to know more related knowledge, please pay attention to us.
