How to grow spinach?

Echinochloa is another name for small thistle grass. It is a very common wild vegetable and belongs to herbaceous plants. Echinacea has a good effect of stopping bleeding, removing blood stasis, detumescence and detoxification. Originally, Chinese thorny vegetables existed everywhere in rural areas, but as the nutritional value of Chinese thorny vegetables was discovered, wild varieties were picked without restraint. As a result, artificial cultivation is now needed to meet market demand, so how should thorn vegetables be planted? The following small series brings you the planting method of prickly ash. Let's take a look together!

1. Land selection and preparation

Echinacea is very adaptable, as long as given a certain amount of time, it can grow and reproduce rapidly on most soils. However, the purpose of artificial planting is high yield and high quality, so when selecting soil, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is fertile, water is sufficient, permeability is strong, and there is no history of disease occurrence. After selecting the land, do a good job of land preparation, till and disinfect the land, reduce the bacteria in the soil and reduce the incidence rate in the planting process. Pay attention to the pH value of the soil. Echinacea is suitable for growing in acidic soil. If the pH value of the soil is not appropriate, neutralize the pH value of the soil appropriately.

2. Timely planting

Most of the planting methods of thorn vegetables are the use of seed reproduction, usually in mid-June of each year, the flower buds of thorn vegetables begin to wither. At this time we will pick the withered flower buds, then dry them, remove water, and use them as seeds. The sowing time of prickly ash is around the beginning of spring every year. Pay attention to the planting density when planting. According to the plant size of prickly ash, the planting spacing is about 20*20 cm. Seed dressing should be done before planting, seed dressing should be done after planting, and then planting should be covered with soil. It is advisable to irrigate enough root water after sowing to ensure that the soil is moist and promote seed germination and emergence.

3. Field management

After germination and emergence, check seedlings in time, remove weak seedlings and dead seedlings, and then immediately replenish seedlings to ensure yield. The number of seedlings in each planting hole should not exceed 4, otherwise it will affect the growth of ear piercing vegetables. Observe the growth condition and soil state of the prickly ash in the growth process, and timely apply fertilizer and water. In addition, weeds in the field should be uprooted in time. Although the growth ability of prickly ash is strong, weeds will also rob the nutrition of prickly ash, resulting in lack of nutrition and stunted growth. Farm manure can be used when topdressing, but it must be fully decomposed, otherwise the fertilizer heat is too high, it will burn the roots of prickly ash.

4. Disease control

All plants produce disease, and so does prickly ash. Rust and gray spot are the main diseases of Chinese cabbage. These diseases will harm the leaves of Echinacea, resulting in decreased photosynthetic capacity, unable to carry out photosynthesis, and insufficient accumulation of photosynthetic substances. Affect the quality, so we must do a good job of prevention and disinfection when planting. Periodically disinfect the garden of Chinese thorny cabbage, take measures to deal with various bad weather, strengthen field management, and ensure that Chinese thorny cabbage has a normal growth environment.

The above is a simple introduction to the planting method of prickly ash. Now the planting area of prickly ash is not very large, and it is still in a testing stage. Although its nutritional value is high, it is not yet fully popular. However, I believe that the market for prickly ash will grow larger and larger, and the economic benefits of planting will also increase.
