Amaranth is a kind of vegetable that most people like to eat. It is understood that amaranth is only a kind of wild vegetable at first, and now it has become a kind of vegetable that every household in rural areas will grow. Amaranth is more drought-tolerant and damp-resistant, and its growth ability is good. Let's learn how to grow amaranth together?
Planting time
Before planting, we must first select the planting varieties. The common amaranth varieties include green carp and red peony. We must reasonably choose the variety according to the season, the planting area and the environment. The cultivation time of leek is generally in the spring, and it is harvested and marketed after maturity in summer. However, it is mainly necessary to control the time according to the cultivation method. If it is planted in the open field, it can be planted in March-August. If it is a shed, the planting time can be increased by about 3-4 weeks. And the use of greenhouse cultivation can also increase the time to market, and harvest it in about one month after planting.
2. Seeding at the right time
After selecting the varieties, the seeds should be sterilized and sterilized. First, the seeds are soaked in water for about 20 hours. Promote water absorption of seeds and increase the germination rate of seeds. When about 40% of the seeds are germinated, they can be planted. At the time of sowing, the soil should be well-grounded. The soil is mainly based on the ability of irrigation and drainage and strong water retention. The fertile farmyard manure is applied to improve the soil fertility. At the time of sowing, it should be spread and broadcast. When planting, pay attention to controlling the depth. Do not over-deep, sow the soil after sowing, and then cover a layer of straw to improve the soil moisture retention.
3. Strengthen management
After planting, it is best to build a small arch shed in the field to improve the insulation capacity of the field. When the temperature is relatively low, cover the arch shed with a layer of straw to raise the temperature to prevent the low temperature from affecting the growth of the leeks. Then pay attention to the work of doing fertilizer and water. When planting in spring, keep the soil with a certain amount of water. As the temperature increases, the amount of water is appropriately increased, but care should be taken to avoid the high temperature at noon. When fertilizing, pay attention to controlling the dosage, especially the nitrogen fertilizer. Do not overdo it, and prevent the excessive nitrogen fertilizer from causing the amaranth to grow.
4. Pest control
The disease resistance of amaranth is relatively poor, so we must pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases when planting. Common pests and diseases of amaranth include white rust, stem rot and root-knot nematodes. These pests and diseases will harm various parts of the leek to varying degrees, resulting in a decline in yield and planting benefits. When planting, we must strengthen management, regular disinfection, and do a good job of fertilizer and water. We often observe and find out the reasons in case of abnormal conditions, and then make corresponding measures.
In fact, if you want high yield of amaranth, the most important thing is to do a good job in management. Strengthen management, meet the demand for water and fertilizer in amaranth, and promote the growth of amaranth, in order to effectively increase production.
