The growth process of Zizania caduciflora

Zizania latifolia is a common aquatic vegetable in our life, and the market demand in our country is very large. Therefore, more and more people are planting Zizania latifolia now, but planting Zizania latifolia is not as simple as imagined. Before planting, we should first understand the growth process of Zizania latifolia, and then do a good job of management according to the growth process. So what is the growth process of Zizania latifolia? Let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian below!

1, germination stage

When the temperature gradually rises to about 5 degrees in the spring of each year, the overwintering aboveground parts and the dormant period of underground stems will begin to grow. The budding period of Zizania latifolia is about 25 days. At this time, the growth nutrition of ramets and tillers of underground stems mainly depends on the storage nutrition of mother plants. Therefore, after harvesting Zizania latifolia in autumn, we should strengthen management and improve the nutrient storage of underground parts, which is very beneficial to the germination of plants in the following spring. This period is the initial germination period of Zizania latifolia, which is very critical to the yield and quality of Zizania latifolia.

2. Tillering stage

More than half of the new seedlings had reached normal plant height and had stability and single-plant character when they began to grow new leaves. The new plants grow slowly in the early stages, but begin to accelerate over time. This period will vary depending on the type and planting years of Zizania latifolia. If it is a ripe rice, then the time is about 5 months. If it is two ripe rice, then in the year of harvest, its time will increase by about 20 days, and the next summer harvest, it is only about 70 days.

3. Rooting and leafing stage

Every spring after germination, plants with certain leaf age will begin to produce fibrous roots at the base of tiller ramets. The tiller seedlings and the left and right nodes of the underground stem are all possible to root. And after germination began to produce leaves, when the temperature reached about 15 degrees, the speed of leaf sprouting accelerated, generally in the first month of pregnancy when the peak. After entering the gestation period, the new leaves will stop growing. If it is autumn, then the leaf age is about 25, and summer is only about 10. New leaves are born, old leaves wither, and the number of new leaves per plant is generally only about 6-7.

4. Pregnancy

Pregnant stage refers to the time when Zizania latifolia plants stop growing tall and new leaves begin to shorten until harvest. During pregnancy, Zizania latifolia plants usually form fleshy stems with about 20 nodes. In the early stages of pregnancy, the pseudostem becomes flat. After about four days, the pseudostem will begin to expand, and then the sheath of the stem will be squeezed open, gradually revealing the flesh of Zizania latifolia. At this time, it is the appropriate harvest time for Zizania latifolia. If it is not harvested in time, it will gradually turn green and age. During the pregnancy period, we should control the temperature according to the planting season. A slightly lower temperature in autumn will not affect the pregnancy, but if the temperature in summer exceeds 30 degrees, it will immediately stop the pregnancy. Therefore, everyone should pay more attention.

The above is a simple introduction to the growth process of Zizania latifolia. Today's introduction is here. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help everyone!
