The planting method of broom vegetable

Broom vegetable, also known as skin, peacock pine, etc., mostly wild in the fields, roadsides, wasteland, it is a kind of high nutritional value of wild vegetables, young stems can be eaten, seeds can be used as medicine. After autumn in the countryside, it will be seen as a broom, which is very practical, and now it is also grown as a vegetable, so how to grow it? Come and have a look before.

1. Land selection and preparation

Broom vegetables are not strict with climate and temperature, and have strong adaptability. They are wild all over the country, so it is appropriate to choose sandy soil with sufficient sunshine, loose fertility and rich humus when planting. After selecting the planting land, 3000-5000 kg of rotten farm manure is applied per mu in spring as base fertilizer, followed by 50 kg of compound fertilizer. After fertilization, the soil is ploughed, the fertilizer is turned into the soil, and then the sun is used to eliminate root weeds and overwintering pests and reduce the harm of diseases and insect pests. The soil should be raked fine and leveled a week before sowing, and the beds should be made according to the topography, the long beds should be made flat, and the short beds should be made if the terrain is undulating.

2. Methods of reproduction

Broom vegetables mainly rely on sowing for reproduction, sowing is generally carried out in April, sowing should choose the seeds of 2-year-old plants without diseases and insect pests, so as to ensure the germination rate. Seed dressing with plant ash before sowing can not only protect seeds, but also promote the growth and development of broom vegetables. Watering to keep the soil moist before sowing to facilitate germination, sowing after the soil is slightly dry, generally using strip sowing method, opening a shallow ditch on the border surface, evenly sowing the seeds into the ditch, be careful not to be too deep, generally 4-5cm. After covering the soil, rake flat with tools, watering to keep moist, can also be covered with plastic film, heat preservation and moisturizing, if the temperature is appropriate, seedling emergence in a short period of 5 days, slow emergence in 15 days.

3. Seedling stage management

Seedling emergence temperature began to rise gradually, at this time if the soil is too dry to timely watering, keep the soil moist, but also be careful not to water too often, resulting in too much soil moisture, which will affect the growth of seedlings. When the seedlings grow to 6-7cm, loosen the soil and weed once, and cut the land with a small hoe when loosening the soil, which should not be too deep, so as not to harm the roots, loosen the soil, promote the root growth of seedlings, remove weeds, so as not to seize the nutrients of the seedlings. Loosening soil and weeding should be carried out 2-3 times in the seedling stage, and weeds should not appear in the field. When the seedlings grow above 15cm, the weak seedlings should be removed in time, and strong seedlings should be cultivated. When growing above 20cm, the seedlings should be fixed according to the row spacing of 10 × 15cm.

4. Field management

After the seedling is fixed, the seedling is growing, when it is the peak growing season, and it is also necessary to plough and weed to ensure that there are no weeds in the field. Then enter the flowering stage, when a lot of nutrients are needed, so timely fertilization if nutrition, generally apply 40-50 kg compound fertilizer per mu mainly nitrogen fertilizer. And pay attention to water management, high temperature and long drought should be timely watering, each fertilization should also pay attention to watering, dilute fertilizer, so that the root system can be absorbed very quickly.
