Field management of dandelion

Dandelion generally grows in roadside, mansion, wasteland, field and hilly areas, with strong adaptability, its tender seedlings and leaves can be eaten raw or fried, green and pure natural, deeply loved by people, and has a good market prospect. so its field management is also very important.

Field management in the year of sowing

Seedling money to keep the soil moist. If the soil is dry before emergence, you can sparsely spread some wheat straw or thatch on the border surface of the sowing border; then gently water it, and after the seedlings come out, scrape off the grass; after emergence, you should properly control moisture to make the seedlings thrive and prevent overgrowth and inversion; in the rapid leaf growth period, keep the field moist to promote the vigorous growth of leaves; pour water once before winter, and then cover horse dung or wheat straw, which is conducive to overwintering.

Intermediate ploughing and weeding

When dandelion seedlings emerge for about 10 days, the first intertillage weeding can be carried out, and then once every 10 days or so, until the ridge is closed, so that there are no weeds in the field. After the ridge is sealed, the grass can be pulled manually.

Intermediate seedling and fixed seedling

The seedlings were determined by the combination of ploughing and weeding. About 10 days after emergence, the distance between seedlings is 3-5 cm, and the distance between plants can be determined after 20-30 days. the distance between plants is 8-10 m, and that of the seeder is 5 m.

Fertilizer and water management

Dandelion has strong disease resistance and does not need pest control. The focus of field management is fertilizer and water, and the soil conditions are not strict. When planting dandelion, if the soil surface is not covered, it is necessary to often water to keep the soil moist to ensure the whole seedling. After emergence, the soil moisture should always be maintained.

Topdressing during the growing period

During the growth period, topdressing for 1-2 times should be often watered to keep the soil moist to ensure the growth of the whole seedling and after emergence. The young plants in the sowing year can not pick leaves until the second year, when the plant quality is good and the yield is high. After autumn sowing entered winter, 2500 kg of organic fertilizer and 20 kg of superphosphate per mu were applied on the border, which not only played the role of fertilization, but also protected the root system safely through the winter. After turning green in the next spring, chemical fertilizer can be applied combined with watering. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, water should be watered once.

Harvest

Dandelion can pick the outer leaves in batches at the seedling stage for food, or use a knife to cut the leaves outside the heart leaves for consumption. If it is cut every 15-20 days, the whole plant can also be cut and put on the market at once. Generally speaking, each mu of land can produce 700-800 kg per harvest.
