High yield planting techniques of Perilla frutescens

Perilla is a seasoning commonly used in life, with a unique smell, which can dispel some heavy odors, such as adding perilla to fish and seafood to dispel fishy smell. Many people know about it, but don't know how it is grown. Let's take a look at the high-yield planting techniques of perilla with the editor.

1. Planting site selection

2. Planting mode

For fans who are usually broadcast live, there is an one-month difference in sowing time between the south and the north, with the south sowing in March and the north in mid-late April. Direct seeding can be divided into two types: sowing seeds on ridges or digging holes for sowing. Sowing seeds on ridges can be dug a shallow ditch of about 1 cm according to the spacing of each row, and then the seeds and finer sand can be mixed and scattered in the ditch, which can be covered with a layer of fine soil. If the use of burrow sowing occurs, it needs to be planted on ridges at a distance of 40 cm per row and 20 cm per pig. After sowing, it is also covered with a layer of fine soil and gently compacted, and the seedlings can grow after about 6-7 days.

3. Field management

When the seedlings grow to 15 centimeters, they can be transplanted. First of all, the weak seedlings should be removed and the new seedlings should be replaced, and the planting efforts must not be too strong. This will easily lead to root damage and weak nutrient absorption. Different plant sizes will occur in the later stage. At the same time, planting too densely will affect the weeding work in the future, so pay attention to the row spacing. After 3 months of planting, the plant entered a period of vigorous growth, when the demand for fertilizer and water increased sharply, so it was necessary to pay attention to watering and adding fertilizer to the plant in time.

4. Harvest

Perilla is also very fastidious in the harvest, each part of it has a different harvest time and methods, the tender leaves are picked at any time after growing out, preferably picked earlier in the tender leaves. The seeds are usually around October, cut off with a sickle, dried and threshed before being sold. As a medicinal material, we must choose to harvest when the sun is better, and dry in time to avoid mildew. On the other hand, the perilla stalk in the middle should not be harvested until the ear grows, and the moisture can be evaporated in a cool place before it can be stored or sold on the market.
