How to grow Allium macrostemon

Allium macrostemon is actually a kind of small wild vegetable in rural areas, which is planted all over China. It has the effects of regulating qi, relaxing chest, and activating yang, and can be used for treating chest pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea, furuncle, and asthma. So how do you grow onions? So, today we will learn how to grow it together.

1. Soil preparation and cultivation

Wild Allium macrostemon generally grows on low slopes, hills, wasteland and fields, etc., and can be seen in many rural areas. Allium macrostemon has no requirements for planting land. It is also timely to say that land that can grow crops, even land that cannot grow crops, can be planted. When preparing the soil, it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning up weeds, insect pupae, etc. in the field, then fine tillage and applying sufficient base fertilizer.

2. Scientific sowing

Allium macrostemon planting is generally carried out around August every year, and can be propagated by seed or by plant division. Plant division propagation is only suitable for small-area planting, rapid growth, high survival rate. Seed propagation was a common planting method, but before sowing, it needed to be blanched with hot water at a temperature of about 50 degrees Celsius, and constantly stirred. After four hours, it was removed, drained, and placed in an environment with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius for germination. After about 50% of the seeds sprout, they can be sown. After sowing, they need to cover the seeds with soil and cover them with plastic film to keep them warm and moist, so as to promote emergence.

3. Reasonable close planting

Planting we need to pay attention to is the planting density, generally according to the row spacing of 20 cm, plant spacing of about 6 to 10 cm for planting. After planting for a week, we should observe the growth of seedlings in the field. If there is a phenomenon of dead seedlings, we should make up seedlings in time.

4. Field management

After planting, if there is no rain, then watering is needed to ensure that the field is moist. In general, in the case of sufficient basal fertilizer, there is no need for topdressing in the later stage, but it also depends on the specific situation. If the Allium macrostemon seedlings in the field are relatively slender, and they do not seem to have water, and they slowly appear yellow, there are generally two reasons for this, one is water shortage, and the other is lack of fertilizer. So we can irrigate it with urine or high efficiency nitrogen. The last thing to pay attention to is to carry out scientific cultivation, enhance the permeability of the soil, and promote the growth of Allium macrostemon. Another reason for cultivating soil is to avoid the underground bulbs of Allium macrostemon turning green and affecting quality.

5, pest control

Allium macrostemon has strong resistance, few diseases and insect pests occur, and even if the disease is not very serious. Among them, downy mildew and anthracnose are common diseases. In order to avoid the occurrence of diseases, we generally take preventive measures, such as selecting disease-free seeds, rotating crops, strengthening water management in the field and using fertilizers scientifically. The second is that you can use methomane zinc and anthrax to prevent and control. The main pest of Allium macrostemon is thrips, which we can control with imidacloprid.

Through reading the above, I believe that everyone has a general understanding of the cultivation of Allium macrostemon.
