Shepherd's pursePlanting time is generally spring sowing will be chosen between February and March, summer will be sown around the beginning of August, and the fall is best chosen around September and October. Planting method: land preparation, sowing, management, harvesting.
A, planting time
General wild vegetables on the environment is relatively strong ability to adapt, after all, the race for the fittest, the survival of the unsuitable, unsuitable for the elimination of the invariable law of growth of all things in the world well. So shepherd's purse can be carried out in three seasons a year, the general spring sowing will be selected between February and March, summer will be sown in early August or so, and the fall is the best choice in September and October or so. Winter weather is more severe, so yields are not as high and planting is usually not done.
Two, planting method
1, the whole land
Capsicum can be planted in any place, can be planted in pieces, you can also use the land resources in the middle of the planting of other crops in the middle of the seam planting can also be planted in the ridge, but if you want to high-yield will be generally selected in the piece of planting in the whole time you need to remove all the weeds in the field, the field is not a good place to plant. The weeds in the field are all removed, followed by turning the soil as deep as possible, and then try to level the land, there are puddles of puddles will be filled with soil.
2, sowing
Different periods of sowing may make some changes in the way of sowing to sow mainly in the spreading of the time to spread more evenly, not some places too thick some places on a few seeds, so the seeds will generally be mixed with some fine sand or fine soil to achieve a strength to make the spreading of the seeds more evenly.
3, management
Capsella plants will not be very large, small, so weeding management is more difficult, we generally early sowing before the need to build the soil to remove all the weeds, and then in the growth of capsella during the emergence of weed overgrowth, we can only manually pull weeds, so it takes a long time.
4, harvest
Harvest is divided into batches, the general growth cycle of caper is thirty to forty-five days or so, although they are sown at the same time, but the growth rate of the day after tomorrow there are fast and slow, so we will dig out the roots of the plant is relatively large, leaving a small to continue to grow, and each harvest a batch of fertilizer can be applied to the appropriate amount of fertilizers to promote the growth process.
