What should be paid attention to in planting Hedyotis diffusa

Hedyotis diffusa is an annual herb, which is a very important traditional Chinese medicine to prevent tumor. In clinic, it can be used to treat a variety of diseases, such as lung heat wheezing cough, intestinal carbuncle, venomous snake bite, enteritis, appendicitis and other symptoms. secondly, it can also enhance human immunity, play a role in inhibiting tumor, and has an excellent effect on leukemia. So what problems should we pay attention to when planting Hedyotis diffusa? Let's take a look at the following notes.

1. Soil

At present, Hedyotis diffusa is mainly distributed in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other areas with relatively mild climate throughout the year, which shows that its requirements for growing environment must be areas with mild climate throughout the year. The low topography, sufficient light, convenient drainage and irrigation, sufficient soil fertility, rich organic matter and humus are more suitable for planting Hedyotis diffusa.

2. Time

The planting time of Hedyotis diffusa is also an aspect worthy of our attention. Generally speaking, it can be planted in two seasons, namely, spring and autumn. When planted in different seasons, there is a deviation in its emergence rate and yield. The best planting time is from the end of March to the beginning of May, followed by the period from mid-August to late August. If we want to plant Hedyotis diffusa, it is best to choose to finish sowing in these two periods of time.

3. Moisture

Hedyotis diffusa has strict requirements for water, and the water demand in its growth process is relatively large. In order to promote the emergence of seeds after sowing, we usually water them once a day in the morning and evening, but it is important to note that there can be no stagnant water. After the emergence of Hedyotis diffusa, we need to keep the soil moist, so we need proper watering and timely drainage during the rainy season to avoid waterlogging or stagnant water. This means that in the growth process of Hedyotis diffusa, we should pay attention to both drought and waterlogging.

4. Nutrients

Hedyotis diffusa has a short growth cycle, so base fertilizer is the key to its growth, which is generally based on farm fertilizer, which can promote plant growth. When the seedlings grow to about eight to ten centimeters, we can properly apply one jin of dung and urine. In the middle stage of the growth of Hedyotis diffusa, we need to fertilize according to its growth. It is also important to note that if we want to harvest twice, we just need to continue to fertilize after the harvest, which can promote the growth of Hedyotis diffusa again.

5. Diseases and insect pests

Hedyotis diffusa is highly resistant, so there are few diseases and insect pests in its whole growth process, but this does not mean that there is no harm from diseases and insect pests. What we should pay attention to is the impact of pests such as tigers and Spodoptera litura on it. For ground tigers, we can trap them with bean cakes or wheat bran fried with trichlorfon. On the other hand, Spodoptera litura can be trapped and killed by trapping lights, or 5% Regent suspension 40ml/667m2 or BT preparation 200~250g/667m2 can be used for poisoning.

When Hedyotis diffusa is planted normally, the yield of processed Hedyotis diffusa per mu after harvest is about 600 to 1000 jin, so its yield is also very considerable. If you are interested in planting, you can follow us and get a more detailed interpretation of planting techniques.
