Cultivation techniques of cockscomb

Growth habits: like warm and dry climate, afraid of drought, sunshine, not resistant to waterlogging, but the soil requirements are not strict, the general soil courtyard can be planted, is a new way to develop courtyard economy, people of insight might as well give it a try.

Propagation and cultivation: seed breeding method, selecting plots during the Qingming Festival, applying sufficient basic fertilizer, ploughing fine rakes evenly, leveling the border, spreading seeds evenly on the border surface, slightly covering the seeds, and watering thoroughly. Generally, when the temperature is 15 mi 20 degrees, 10 mi can emerge in 15 days. After sowing in summer in Grain in Beard, sow seeds according to the row spacing of 30 cm. When the seedling height is 6 cm, the seedlings are 20 cm apart. The seedlings under each other can be transferred to other fields and must be watered after transfer. Weeding and loosening the soil must be done at the seedling stage, and when it is not too dry, water as little as possible. The seedling is 30 centimeters high and should be fertilized once. After sealing off the old leaves, when blooming and heading, if the weather is dry, water should be properly watered to prevent stagnant water in low-lying areas in the rainy season. After heading, the flower buds between the lower leaves and viscera can be erased to facilitate the growth of the main ear at the top.

Pest control: root rot occurs in the seedling stage, which can be sowed with quicklime in the field. Small bridge-building insects are easy to occur during the growing period. Foliar spraying of dimethoate or pyrethroid pesticides can play a role in prevention and control.

Harvesting and processing: generally before and after White Dew, the seeds gradually blacken and mature, cut off the flower moss in time, put it in a ventilated place to dry, get out early and return late in the sun, do not make night dew, so as not to deteriorate and reduce the efficacy, and store it in bags.
