Cultivation and Management of Crane Grass

Fairy crane grass, also known as Longya grass, is a perennial herb of Rosaceae, and it is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. The whole herb can be used as medicine, and it has the work of convergence, hemostasis, anti-inflammation and detoxification. Although it is widely distributed in our country, with the increase of demand. Now the planting area of Herba Euphorbiae is also increasing. So how to manage the planting of celestial crane grass? The following editor brings you the cultivation and management methods of fairy crane grass, let's have a look!

1. The seedlings are fixed

The work of determining seedlings is very important for the growth of Herba Euphorbiae. When the seedlings grow to about 4 cm, there should be time seedlings, and the principle of keeping the strong and removing the weak should be taken as the principle to ensure that each seedling has sufficient growth space. Pull out the overgrown seedlings in time, and then set the seedlings at a distance of 16 cm when the seedlings grow to about 15 cm. If the planting purpose is the root bud, then it is necessary to appropriately expand the plant distance, promote the root growth and increase the yield.

2. Ploughing and weeding

The seedling growth ability of Crane grass is relatively weak, so we should do a good job of ploughing and weeding in time. Mid-tillage can not only improve the looseness of soil and promote the growth of seedlings, but also achieve the purpose of weeding and prevent weeds from grabbing the growth and nutrition of seedlings. Reasonable ploughing and weeding is the key to ensure the robust growth and increase the yield of crane grass. However, it is necessary to stop ploughing after the plant is closed, but to weed in time.

3. topdressing at the right time

Nutrition is indispensable in the growth of crane grass, and topdressing must be done well in the process of planting. Topdressing the seedlings once before fixing the seedlings to promote the nutrient absorption of the seedlings, and topdressing again before sealing the ridges. Then fertilize reasonably according to the growth and soil fertility of Herba Euphorbiae. Topdressing should be applied every spring and after harvest, and if the planting purpose is for the whole grass, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer can be increased appropriately. The type and amount of fertilizer should be controlled according to the planting purpose.

4. Pick flowers in time

The flowering quantity of fairy crane grass is relatively large, but the flowers of fairy crane grass are of little use. Therefore, when planting, we should pay attention to do a good job of picking flowers, because the fairy crane grass blossoms a large amount, and consumes more nutrients. Therefore, if you do not pick flowers in time, it will rob the nutrition of the roots, which will have a great impact on the growth of the roots. Therefore, it is necessary to pick flowers in time when there is a flower bolt, but we should also pay attention to retaining some of the plants, leaving the planting plants not to pick flowers.

5. Seed collection and retention

When planting, it is necessary to establish a good planting field, or to select strong-growing plants in the aboveground part of the field as seed retention. Increase the frequency of fertilization and strengthen field management. Crane grass usually blossoms around June every year, cut off the seeds when they gradually deepen and dry in August, take out the seeds, and store them in a ventilated and dry place to keep the seeds.

The above is a brief introduction to the cultivation and management of crane grass, and we also need to do a good job in pest control. The harm of diseases and insect pests to fairy crane grass is very great, so we must pay attention to avoid some unnecessary losses. That's all for today's introduction.
