How to sow mugwort: mugwort seeds are very small. If you plant them in flower pots, please sow them directly without covering them with soil. Seal the mouth of the flower pot with a plastic bag to keep the soil moist. It needs adequate sunlight to germinate.

Climate seasonal distribution areas: Mugwort is distributed in Northeast, North China, East China, South China, Southwest, Northwest, etc. It is distributed in most provinces and regions in my country. Most of it is wild, but there is also a small amount of cultivation. It can be used once a year. receive. Mugwort has strong adaptability, but it grows better in moist and fertile sandy loam soil and is more cold-resistant. It can be planted in all parts of the north and south of my country.

Propagate by rhizomes or seeds.

1. Seed shape: The achenes are oblong and hairless, the seeds are long and rectangular, the surface is light yellow-green, the seed coat is thin and soft. Thousand-grain weight is 0.12 grams.

2. Seed saving and seed cultivation: Seed saving should be based on 2 to 3-year-old plants. Plants with strong growth, high yield, and no pests and diseases should be selected and left without harvesting. When the fruit matures from October to November, when the achenes turn light yellow-green, cut off the fruit branches, spread them to dry, thresh, sieve, and remove impurities. Put the seeds in cloth bags and store them in a cool and dry place. Seeds have a short life span and lose their germination ability after one summer.

3. Seed propagation method: It should be sown in early spring, from February to March in the south and from March to April in the north. It can be used for live broadcast or seedling transplanting. The spacing between live broadcast rows is 40 to 50 centimeters. After sowing, the soil should not be too thick. It is better to cover it with 0.5 centimeters or with a cover. If the soil is too thick, it will be difficult for the seeds to germinate. After emergence, pay attention to loose soil, weeding and thinning. When the seedling height is 10-15 cm, set the seedlings according to the distance between plants of 20-30 cm.

4. Rhizome propagation method: Rhizome propagation is the main method for production. The planting period is usually in early spring. It is best to dig out the perennial underground rhizomes before the buds sprout. Dig out the whole roots. Select the tender rhizomes and break them into 10-12 cm long segments. Let them dry for half a day. When planting, press Make a trench with a row spacing of 40 to 50 cm, place the rhizome flatly in the trench with a plant spacing of about 20 cm, and then cover it with soil to suppress it. If the soil is dry, water it in time after planting. After the seedlings emerge, pay attention to timely soil loosening, weeding and top dressing.
