How to cultivate and harvest purslane seeds.

Purslane seeds are small, so the soil must be prepared carefully and drilled sowing is preferred. Apply 2,000 kilograms of decomposed manure per acre, plow to a depth of 15 centimeters, break up soil clods, and make the border surface flat, loose, soft, and thin. Make a border 1 meter wide and have a furrow width of 40 centimeters. Open two shallow sowing trenches with a width of 21cm-24cm on the border and carry out drill sowing. In order to make the seeding density uniform, 100 times the weight of the seeds can be added to the seeds for spreading. Because seeds easily fall into soil pores, you only need to rake the topsoil lightly after sowing, and there is no need to cover the soil again. If the soil is dry, use a watering can to lightly spray the border surface. When the seedlings are about 15 centimeters tall, start picking the seedlings for food, keeping the distance between plants at 9 to 10 centimeters and allowing other seedlings to continue growing. About 25 days after sowing, when the plant height is more than 25 cm, it is officially harvested. Generally, the yield of a single seedling plant reaches 35g-40g. When harvesting, be sure to leave 2 to 3 main stem nodes at the base of the plant, and harvest later. During the growth period, topdressing is carried out according to the growth conditions. Generally, 300 times of urea solution is applied 1 to 2 times, and 5 kg of urea is used per acre. Purslane has almost no pests or diseases, so there is no problem of pesticide residues.
