Growing bamboo leaf vegetable seedlings on water is the key, and the quality of the seedlings is directly related to economic benefits. So, if you want to raise seedlings, you must first choose a good land. (1) Land selection and preparation

Generally, sowing begins in mid-March every year. When raising seedlings, sandy soil or loam soil should be selected, with water sources around, because bamboo leaf vegetables must have enough water during their growth. At the same time, the choice of land should also check whether the soil has been contaminated, so as to avoid contamination of bamboo leaf vegetables. Seedling cultivation is generally carried out in stages, with a cycle of about 20 days, which means that when the bamboo leaf vegetables in one field grow for about 20 days, they will be sown in another field. In this way, seedlings can be transplanted to the water surface at different periods, ensuring that fresh and tender bamboo leaf vegetables can be harvested at different periods.

After selecting the land, the soil must be plowed and leveled first. Then a circle of 40 to 50 cm high earth dam is built around the leveled land for irrigation. Then dig a furrow about 10 cm deep and 15 to 20 cm wide. The distance between the two furrows is about 15 cm. Then apply enough base fertilizer. The base fertilizer can be organic fertilizer such as pig manure or chicken manure at home, or it can be compound fertilizer. Decomposed organic fertilizer: 2500~3000 kg/mu or human excrement 1500~2000 kg/mu. Compound fertilizer: 50~100kg/acre. A. Fish ponds are the best choice and the simplest and most affordable. Because the water where there are fish is generally not polluted. And fish excrement can be used as fertilizer, so do not fertilize, but be careful not to do it if there are grass carp or crayfish in the fish pond, because they like to eat the roots of bamboo leaf vegetables.

B. If it is not a fish pond, the water quality must be tested before planting. If the pH value of the water is between 5.5 and 6.5, and the pesticide residues in the water meet the standards, it can be planted. Generally, there is no requirement for the size of the water surface.

C. Reservoirs are generally not an option because the water temperature in the reservoir is low, and bamboo leaf vegetables are vegetables that like high temperatures, which may lead to reduced yields. After transplanting the bamboo leaf vegetables to the floating bed, there is no need to fertilize, because the excrement of underwater fish is enough to be used as fertilizer for the bamboo leaf vegetables. But you should pay attention to the water quality and change the water in time. In addition, aquatic bamboo leaf vegetables rarely suffer from pests and diseases. Generally, there is no need to use pesticides, and to the greatest extent possible, pesticides should not be used.
