How to plant cat claw grass

Cat's claw grass is an annual herb of Ranunculus family, and it is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. Its underground tuber is mainly used as medicine. At present, cat claw grass is mainly distributed in Guangxi, Taiwan, Zhejiang, South China, Hubei and other places, but the yield is not very high, so it is also a very scarce traditional Chinese medicine in the market. Today, Xiaobian will teach you how to plant good cat claw grass.

1. Land selection and preparation

Cat claw grass has the characteristics of liking light, shade, warmth, humidity and strong adaptability to the environment. Well, generally speaking, the requirements for planting land are not high, but if you want to plant cat claw grass well, you still have to choose the planting land. Usually suitable for fertile soil, good drainage, rich water pollution-free, sandy loam planting, followed by the need to consider the problem of light, it is best to choose in the sunny area of the mountains, flat, slope and so on. After selecting the planting land, the land should be deeply ploughed and combined with base fertilizer, which is mainly organic humus fertilizer, mixed phosphate fertilizer and cake fertilizer. Finally, fine rake flat, from the ditch can be made.

2. Reproductive methods

There are three ways of reproduction of cat claw grass, namely seed reproduction, ramet reproduction and seed stem reproduction. However, no matter which breeding method is adopted, it can be planted in spring and autumn. In the process of planting, we should pay attention to the density of planting. The row spacing of seed reproduction is generally about 15 cm, and the seeds are evenly scattered. The row spacing of plant division propagation and seed stem propagation is 15 cm, and the plant spacing is about 10 cm for planting. Finally, soil cultivation and watering can wait for emergence.

3. Field management

In the growth process of cat claw grass, we want the humidity of the main soil, generally it is best to keep it at about 60%, so we had better irrigate water every other week or so, if we encounter higher temperatures and less rainfall in dry weather, then we also need to use morning and evening watering to achieve the purpose of cooling. Of course, there is still something to pay attention to. In the season of continuous rain, we should drain water in time to avoid waterlogging. In order to improve the yield of cat claw grass, we should apply fertilizer at least three times in its later growth process. The first time is to irrigate with excrement and urine water; the second time is to apply ternary compound fertilizer in furrow; and the third time is to use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as the main fertilizer and cooperate with foliar fertilizer to promote the growth of tubers. Of course, there is to pay attention to intertillage weeding, timely weed removal, so as not to nutrient loss, intertillage as far as possible, so as not to hurt the tubers of cat claw grass, affecting the growth of tubers.

4. Disease and pest control

Cat's claw grass has strong resistance, so it rarely gets sick, and pests are also very few. However, if there is continuous rainfall without reasonable management, it is also very easy to cause blight, which means that we should drain water in time, and we can use antibacterials to prevent and control the disease at the initial stage. There is also the possibility of white silk disease and powdery mildew, we can use thiophane methyl WP and triadimefon control.

Another important reason why cat claw grass is in short supply in the market is that the planting scale is not large, followed by the lack of planting technology of cat claw grass. Many people think that cat claw grass is easy to grow and then managed by landlords, which is also an important reason for the failure of cat claw grass planting. If you have friends who want to plant cat claw grass, you can read the above well.
