How much do you know about the cultivation methods of [water spinach]

Water spinach is a common vegetable in summer, which often appears on our table. Maybe some of my friends don't know much about water spinach. Let's briefly introduce it for you today. Let's learn about it together.

Introduction of water spinach

Water spinach has root system, shallow root and strong regeneration ability. The stem node of xerophytic type is short, the stem is oblate or nearly round, hollow, dark green to light green. The aquatic type has long internodes and is easy to produce adventitious roots, which is suitable for cuttage propagation. Cotyledons opposite, horseshoe-shaped, true leaves alternate, long ovate, Shenzhen heart-shaped or lanceolate, entire, smooth, dark green, petiolate. Cymes, 1 to several flowered, Corolla funnelform, completely flowered, white or pale purple. Room two of the ovary. Capsule, containing 4 seeds of 2 Mel. The seeds are nearly round, the skin is thick, dark brown, and a thousand seeds weigh 32 grams to 37 grams.

Efficacy and function of water spinach

1. Cancer prevention

Asparagus is an alkaline food, and contains potassium, chlorine and other elements to regulate water-liquid balance, which can reduce intestinal acidity and prevent intestinal flora imbalance, which is beneficial to cancer prevention.

two。 Reduce fat and lose weight

Contains nicotinic acid, vitamin C and so on can reduce cholesterol, triglyceride, has the effect of reducing fat and weight.

3. Beauty products

The leafy green in asparagus is known as "green spirit". It can clean teeth, prevent dental caries and remove bad breath, improve skin, and can be called beauty.

4. Preventing heat and relieving fever

It is rich in crude cellulose, which is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, glue and pectin, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, laxation and detoxification. Hollow cabbage is cool, and vegetable juice has an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus, which can prevent infection. Therefore, if you eat regularly in summer, you can prevent heat and relieve fever, cool blood and detoxification, and prevent and cure dysentery.

Nutritional value of water spinach

1. Hollow cabbage is rich in crude fiber, which is composed of cellulose, lignin and pectin.

two。 Asparagus is an alkaline food and contains elements such as potassium and chlorine that regulate water-liquid equilibrium.

3. Asparagus is rich in vitamin C and carotene, and its vitamin content is higher than that of Chinese cabbage.

4. The protein content of young shoots is 4 times higher than that of the same amount of tomato, the content of calcium is more than 12 times higher than that of tomato, and contains more carotene.

Cultivation methods of Artemisia angustifolia

Water spinach prefers high temperature and humid environment, the seed germination temperature should be more than 15 ℃, the initial temperature of axillary bud germination must be above 30 ℃, so that the bud can sprout quickly and neatly, and the suitable temperature for vine leaf growth is 25-30 ℃, the vine leaf growth is vigorous, and the picking interval is shorter. Water spinach can withstand the high temperature of 35-40 ℃, the vine leaves grow slowly below 15 ℃, the vine leaves stop growing below 10 ℃, do not tolerate frost, and the stems and leaves die when exposed to frost. The cellar temperature of rattan should be kept at 10-15 ℃ with high humidity, otherwise the rattan is easy to freeze to death or dry up.

Water spinach likes high air humidity and moist soil, the environment is too dry, vine fiber increases, which greatly reduces the yield and quality of water spinach.

Water spinach likes sufficient light, but it also has strong adaptability to close planting. Water spinach is not strict on soil conditions, but because it likes fertilizer and water, it is best to choose the soil with relatively heavy viscosity and strong water and fertility conservation. Ipomoea aquatica has more branches and leaves and grows rapidly, so it needs a large amount of fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer, during the growth period of water spinach.

This is the end of the introduction of water spinach. I believe that after reading it, we have a certain understanding of water spinach. I hope the content introduced today will be of some help to all of you.
