How to plant duck metatarsus

Duck metatarsus, also known as green bamboo, light bamboo leaves, etc., is an annual loose herb, mainly distributed in the southwest and northwest of China. The leaves of duck metatarsus are bright, the flowers are bright and full, and it also has various functions such as cooling water and clearing heat, cooling blood and detoxification. At present, the demand for traditional Chinese medicine is relatively large. So how to grow duck metatarsus? The following editor will bring you the planting technology of metatarsal grass, let's have a look!

1. Planting plots

The growth ability of duck metatarsus is relatively strong, there is no very strict requirements for the soil, can grow in the more dry soil, keep the soil slightly wet can grow normally. However, the demand for light is relatively large, so planting plots should maintain a certain amount of light, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the growth of duck metatarsus grass. If the light is not enough, it is easy to cause the duckfoot grass to grow. After selecting the site, in order to ensure the healthy growth of duck metatarsus, it is best to disinfect the soil, and then apply sufficient base fertilizer to improve the quality and fertility of the soil.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

The common propagation method of Commelina vulgaris is seed propagation, which is usually carried out in early spring every year. Soak the seeds at a temperature of about 26 degrees for about 9 hours before sowing, and then wrap them in a wet cloth at about 26 degrees for about 4 days. When most of the seeds are white, they can be sown. Sowing uses the method of strip sowing, control the sowing density, dig the sowing ditch, and spread the seeds evenly into the sowing ditch. Then cover a layer of fine soil to suppress the trampling and keep the soil moist. Under suitable conditions, the seedlings can emerge in about 7 days. After emergence, the temperature and humidity should be properly reduced to prevent the seedlings from overgrowing.

3. Field management

Astigmatism should be provided for duckweed at seedling stage, and shade should be controlled at about 50% in adulthood. If you stay in the shade for a long time, it is easy to cause the branches and leaves of duckweed to grow, resulting in thin and brittle leaves, reduced glossiness and lighter color. However, we should pay attention to avoid direct sunlight, resulting in leaf burns, affecting the normal growth of duck metatarsus. Then fertilize twice a month during the growing period, and spray water frequently to keep the soil moist and improve air humidity. In winter, watering should be controlled, and the temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees to ensure safe passage through the winter. Finally, the tiller buds should be cut off in time to facilitate the growth of new branches, and its robust tiller buds can be used as cuttings for cutting propagation.

4. Pest control

Pest control is very harmful to the growth of duckweed, so we must do a good job in pest control. Disinfect the field regularly, fertilize reasonably, appropriately enhance the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, improve the disease resistance of Commelina communis, and reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests. Then we should often observe the growth of Commelina communis and take corresponding measures according to the actual situation after finding abnormalities. The common diseases and insect pests are gray mold, aphids and so on. Although the prevention and control methods of each kind of diseases and insect pests are similar, they are also different. Drugs should not be used blindly to avoid being counterproductive.

The above is a brief introduction of how to plant metatarsal grass, the planting of metatarsal grass is relatively simple. However, when we plant on a large scale, we will inevitably encounter some unexpected situations, so we should still pay attention to good management to avoid some unnecessary losses.
