Generally use seed 1.5-2 kg per mu, cover with a layer of fine soil or fiery soil ash after sowing, and sprout in about one to two weeks.

3. Field management

After the seedlings are unearthed, strengthen the management, wait for the seedlings to complete, and the seedlings should be weak and strong, and the plant spacing should be controlled. Generally, the seedlings should grow to 5 cm for the first time, and then according to the actual situation of the seedlings. After the emergence of Elsholtzia splendens, it is necessary to do a good job of weeding, to prevent weeds from seizing nutrients and space, and to loosen the soil properly during weeding to promote the growth of seedling roots.
