How to grow cumin well

Cumin, also known as benzoin fennel, is a herb with both medicinal value and use value. In China, cumin is mainly grown in Turpan and Yumen in Gansu. So do you know how cumin should be planted? How to plant it in order to produce high yield? What problems should be paid attention to in the process of planting? Now let's study together.

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

Cumin is very harsh on the environment and conditions for growth. Generally, we choose to grow in wet and cool sandy loam with good ventilation, rich and loose soil and low salinity. Of course, if we want to improve the utilization rate of land resources, then we can use interplanting. In the soil preparation needs to be combined with farm fertilizer, each mu of land generally requires about 7,000 jin of base fertilizer, and to cooperate with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Finally, break the clods, flatten the soil surface and wait for sowing.

2. Sowing seeds at the right time

Cumin had better be sown early at the right time, so as to increase the yield of cumin. The seeds are usually sown between the end of March and the beginning of April each year. We can use sowing and strip sowing when sowing. Sowing is to spread the seeds evenly in the soil and cover them with a layer of fine soil. of course, if the soil is dry, the soil should be watered thoroughly after sowing. If it is a strip sowing, then the distance between each row is about 25 centimeters. Spread the seeds evenly in the strips and cover the seeds with soil.

3. Field management

After cumin seedlings, we have to check seedlings, interplant seedlings and replenish seedlings. Under normal circumstances, we should keep the number of seedlings in the field at about 80,000 to 100,000, and at the same time ensure that the seedlings are uniform. The distance between each plant in the field is about five or six centimeters. Secondly, topdressing should be carried out reasonably, generally before flowering, mainly with 1000 times of plant power 2003, 750 times of Gaomeishi liquid and Landa liquid micro-fertilizer, and generally once every other week. the number of times of topdressing is about three times. Finally, after flowering, we need to apply phosphate, potash and boron fertilizer once more. Of course, when we are planting, we also need scientific water management to weed in the middle ploughing, promote plant growth and increase the yield of cumin.

4. Points for attention

When planting cumin, there are several points that we need to pay attention to. First of all, the crops interplanted are preferably corn, sunflowers and wheat. The second is to choose full, mature and high-quality seeds. In addition, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, mainly the prevention and control of epidemic diseases. Finally, the harvest time of cumin is usually around mid-July, when the branches and leaves turn yellow and the fruit of cumin is full by hand, then it can be harvested at this time.

In fact, cumin planting is best planted by interplanting, which can not only increase the yield of cumin, but also improve the utilization rate of land resources and improve planting efficiency. The editor's sharing ends here today. Thank you for your reading.
