How to grow Schizonepeta tenuifolia

Schizonepeta tenuifolia is also called Schizonepeta tenuifolia, or fake Su. It is a perennial herb that can grow up to 40 or 50 centimeters. Flavored, warm and non-toxic is a commonly used herbal medicine, which is often used to relieve phlegm, dispel wind, stop vomiting and treat influenza, headache and fever. So how to plant Schizonepeta tenuifolia? Let's take a look at its planting method.

1. Land farming

The main nutrients for the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine come from the soil, so the selection and cultivation of the planting land are the basic conditions for successful planting. We need to consider not only the ecological environment it needs, but also the national standards for traditional Chinese medicine. We should choose the soil that meets the national planting standards in all aspects, flat, fertile, sunny and convenient for drainage, drainage and irrigation. The second is to apply more base fertilizer, mainly compost, barnyard manure and organic fertilizer. The land is prepared to make beds, which are made into flat beds and high beds according to the topography.

2. Cultivation techniques.

Schizonepeta tenuifolia is usually sown in March and April in spring and 91 in autumn, and the most commonly used method of reproduction is seed reproduction. We need to select mature, full, dark brown or brown seeds that are not damaged by diseases and insect pests and sow them by sowing or strip sowing. Generally keep the row spacing at about 20 cm, sow the seeds evenly, and then cover the soil to cover the seeds. Pay attention to using your feet firmly, and watering properly to keep the soil moist, which can promote seedling emergence.

3. Field management

Generally speaking, it takes about ten and a half days for seedling emergence, and our field management of Schizonepeta tenuifolia is generally divided into three stages, namely seedling stage management, growth period management and late growth stage management. In the seedling stage of Schizonepeta tenuifolia, that is, about four or five centimeters, it is necessary to carry out intermediate ploughing and weeding, and when the seedlings grow to about eight to ten centimeters, it is necessary to start interplanting and planting. The distance of each plant is about 15 centimeters. At the same time, reasonable watering and fertilization should be carried out. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer. During the growing period, intermediate ploughing and weeding needs to be carried out every 20 days or so. When the bauhinia grows to about 25 centimeters, a little potash fertilizer should be applied appropriately. When it is 30 centimeters high, it is mainly cake fertilizer, and it is used with phosphate fertilizer and potash fertilizer. In the later growth stage, we only need to let them grow naturally, and always grow Schizonepeta tenuifolia to improve the quality and yield of Schizonepeta tenuifolia.

4. Pest control

The main diseases of Schizonepeta tenuifolia are root rot, root blight, stem blight and black spot. We need to strengthen field management, timely drainage, through fertilization to enhance plant resistance, followed by the use of dimethazone, Bordeaux solution, carbendazim and so on. The most common pests are ground tiger, mole cricket, moth and so on. We can use Bacillus thuringiensis emulsion in the early stage of pest occurrence, but when the pest is serious, we need to use pyrethroid pesticides to kill.

Schizonepeta tenuifolia has strong adaptability to the environment and has no great requirements for the planting environment. However, when we plant Schizonepeta tenuifolia, we still need to master its planting method, so that we can grow Schizonepeta tenuifolia with high yield and high quality.
