Planting techniques of Peacock vegetable

Peacock vegetable is a new vegetable, which is said to be a hybrid of oil wheat and lettuce. It is named after Roman sushi because it looks like a peacock. It has a better taste than Chinese cabbage, and it grows better and is easy to harvest than ordinary lettuce, so what are the planting requirements for such a good vegetable? Let's take a look.

1. Sowing time

Generally speaking, the growth characteristics of peacock vegetables are somewhat similar. Open-air planting in the south is generally around March, while the temperature in the north is generally low, which can be planted from the end of March to April. Of course, with the development of greenhouse technology, the market can now be cultivated out of season by means of greenhouse, and so can malachite.

2. Land preparation

Peacock vegetable is relatively adaptable, and the requirements for the land are not very strict. the general vegetable garden can grow well with a little care, ploughing as deep as possible during soil preparation, and then apply base fertilizer, which has certain requirements for the degree of soil fertility. therefore, the base fertilizer had better choose farm manure, with other chemical fertilizers. After leveling the border, and then draw a small ditch on the border surface, too deep about 2 centimeters, ready to sow.

3. Sowing and raising seedlings

Watering in the ditch before sowing, the amount of water is adjusted by soil moisture, the greater the soil moisture, the less watering, while the less soil moisture, watering can be more. After watering, sow the seeds in a small ditch, and finally cover the seeds with a layer of semi-dry soil 1 cm thick. If the seeds are sown in spring in the north, they will also cover a layer of ground after sowing because the temperature is low, so as to increase the ground temperature and speed up seedling emergence. In general, under the condition of suitable temperature, seedlings can emerge in about a week. After emergence, plastic film should be contacted in time to facilitate the growth and development of seedlings.

4. Harvest

After emergence, the management is mainly dry and wet, and there is generally spring drought in the north. If the soil is too dry to water and replenish water in time, the growth rate of malachite is faster, and it can grow to about 15 cm after sowing for 20 days, so it can be picked for the first time. Therefore, in the case of sufficient base fertilizer, there is no need for topdressing fertilizer, of course, proper topdressing fertilizer can also make it grow better. Sowing 30 days can grow 25 cm, and there is a preliminary peacock appearance, to 40 days can be harvested.
