Menthol fertilization method

Peppermint is widely used in China, and it has great utilization value in various industries. The efficacy of the human body is relatively large, can enhance appetite, promote digestion, and also has the treatment of colds, cool heat and other effects. So now the planting area of peppermint is also extensive. So how to fertilize when growing mint? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Growth habits

The growth ability of peppermint is relatively strong, and it can adapt as soon as possible in many environments, and there is no great requirement for temperature and soil. Although the growth ability of mint is relatively strong, but the demand for nutrition of peppermint is still relatively high, and in order to achieve the purpose of increasing income and increasing production, fertilization is essential. Mint needs a lot of trace elements in the process of planting, such as iron and calcium, and basic elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are also indispensable. Ensuring adequate nutrition can make peppermint grow better and improve yield and quality.

2. Times of topdressing

When topdressing peppermint, we should pay attention to control the times of topdressing. Generally speaking, in the whole growth period of mint, topdressing is about 3 times. During the mint knife period, the amount of fertilizer application should be controlled according to the growth of peppermint and soil fertility, and combined with the work of ploughing and weeding. The first topdressing should be carried out when the mint seedlings grow about 10cm, and the amount of fertilizer should not be used too much at this time. Because its root capacity is still relatively weak, and the soil temperature has not completely rebounded, if you apply too much fertilizer, it is easy to cause fertilizer damage.

3. The second topdressing

When the second topdressing of peppermint was in the Beginning of Summer, the growth rate of mint plants in this period was relatively fast. The root capacity is also gradually strengthened, the sap flow is fast, the number of leaves will also increase, so the photosynthesis becomes larger. So during this period, the demand for mint nutrition increases. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately increase the amount of fertilizer, mainly farm manure and cake fertilizer. Then the third topdressing work was carried out in Grain in Beard season, which was carried out reasonably according to the growth of mint.

4. Topdressing in the second knife stage

Finally, we have to do a good job of topdressing in the mint second knife stage, topdressing once when the seedlings grow to 10cm, and then again when they grow 10cm. Urea or compound fertilizer is the main fertilizer, it is necessary to ensure that the follow-up new seedlings have adequate vegetative growth and increase the yield. Finally, the last topdressing work was carried out one month before harvest to prolong the harvest period of mint, which is very good for the yield and quality of peppermint.

The above is a brief introduction to the method of menthol fertilization. The fertilization of mint is important, but there must be a reasonable method of fertilization to ensure the amount of fertilizer in order to better promote the growth of peppermint. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
