Matters needing attention in the planting of motherwort

Motherwort can be used in medicine, and it is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, which is planted all over our country, which shows that motherwort has the characteristics of strong adaptability and easy to grow. no, no, no. Motherwort is rich in motherwort, which has the functions of diuresis and detumescence, contraction of uterus, regulation of menstruation, treatment of dystocia and retention of placenta. Today, we are going to learn several common problems that motherwort needs to pay attention to in planting. Let's learn about them together.

1. Time

Motherwort can be planted in spring, summer and autumn, but there is still a deviation in planting time because of the different climatic conditions in different regions of our country. Spring sowing is usually between the end of February and early March, also known as the startling period; in the north, summer sowing is usually used, which can make full use of leisure land resources and is generally planted after Grain in Beard; autumn planting is generally carried out in low-temperature areas, usually from the end of September to the beginning of October every year, that is, from the Autumn Equinox to the cold dew period. Among them, the yield of spring sowing is the highest, autumn sowing is the second, and summer sowing is the last.

2. Seeds

The seed of motherwort has a great influence on the emergence rate and later yield of motherwort, so the selection of motherwort is very important. Generally speaking, if the fresh motherwort is planted in that year, its germination rate is usually about 80% to 75%. But if you choose old seeds or even older seeds, then its germination rate will be even lower, so it is necessary to choose the seeds of the current year for sowing. In addition, if hole sowing is used, it is best to prepare 450 grams of seeds and 600 grams of seeds for strip sowing, so as to avoid affecting the progress of planting due to lack of seeds.

3. Density

The planting density of motherwort is also a point that we need to pay attention to in the planting process, which is mainly to ensure the permeability of the field and the occurrence probability of diseases and insect pests. When sowing, if the strip sowing is used, the pressure distance between each strip is about 25 cm, and the seeds are sown evenly, and the seedlings need to be planted several times in the later stage to ensure that the distance between each plant is about 10 cm. While using the way of hole sowing, it is necessary to control the row spacing and plant spacing when digging holes, and the distance is consistent with that of strip sowing.

4. Water and fertilizer

Water and fertilizer management is the key to motherwort planting and high yield and high quality, and it is also what we need to focus on in the later stage of planting. In the whole process of motherwort growth, it usually needs three times of topdressing and watering, and each time after ploughing and weeding. When fertilizing, it is mainly nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of motherwort, but also need to be combined with cake fertilizer and new high-fat film, which can enhance the effect of fertilizer and reduce the harm of diseases and insect pests.

Due to the strong resistance of motherwort, it can be said that it is very easy to grow a Chinese herbal medicine, but this does not mean that we can plant it casually, there are still a lot of places that need to be paid attention to. Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned points listed by the editor, there are other places that need to be paid attention to, such as pest control, weeding and so on.
