Mustard is also considered to be one of the more famous specialty vegetables in China, and it is relatively adaptable. In various regions of China are mainly sown in the fall, South China regions in winter or the next spring to harvest, and in the north, it is also harvested before the frost. Here we look at how to plant this kind of vegetable.
1, it has a wide range of adaptability to the land. But some people in order to capture a high yield, but also choose some of the better soil, and fertilization is also the better kind. Its rooting is relatively slow, so be careful to bring more soil when transplanting to avoid hurting its roots. And it's best if the roots don't bend when they go into the soil, which can also improve their survival rate.
2, this kind of vegetable is usually about three or four days after sowing to start seedlings, spring sowing is usually between six days to half a month between seedlings. When his seedlings appear two true leaves, you can carry out the first fertilization, which can ensure its good development. The second fertilization should be continued after ten days, and the subsequent time every harvest should be fertilized to ensure its quality.
3, shepherd's purse growth is easily affected by the land moisture. Before he emerges from the seedling must pay attention to watering to ensure that it is moist. Watering time is best in the morning or evening is more appropriate. We need to master some watering tips, and not be able to water all at once. His plant is also relatively short, usually also in the case of scattering. But when the weeds and he grows together to deal with is also more troublesome, but also a waste of our time, so that we should be in their own harvest time to deal with some weed problems as well.4, must pay attention to infectious virus. Shepherd's purse infectious virus is mainly manifested in its leaves above, generally this situation appears in the hotter weather, or his seedling period, mainly some locusts to spread. For a complete defense, we should carry out spraying treatment once in ten days or so, or let him have a rain in time. It is also very useful to keep some moisture in the land itself.
5, the harvesting of this vegetable is also a problem. We should carry out some harvesting in stages, each time should be the first to the big picking up and leave the small let it continue to develop, but remember to pick evenly and properly. If you sow in the fall, you can generally harvest when the needles reach ten, and you can also harvest one month after sowing. Afterwards, it is important to separate the harvests, which can be done about five times. Until the end of the second year in late March, its total output can reach 3000 kilograms. However, if we sow in early October, we must harvest every two months. If we sow in February, we can harvest in April for the market. Spring sowing, usually one or two harvests, the yield can be as high as 1000 kilograms per mu.
