(1) spring sowing: sowing before and after "Qingming", "autumn equinox" before and after the harvest. The growing period of 150 days, the whole grass grows high and thick. Branching more, the yield of thorn mustard is high, but the yield of thorn mustard spike is not high. In order to harvest the thistle for the purpose, it should not be sown too early.

(2) summer sowing: in the "mango" to "summer solstice", available stubble seeding, "cold dew" after harvest, the growing period of 120 days, the grass grows short, less lateral branches, thorn spike yield is not high. The growing period is 120 days, the whole grass grows short, less side branches, thorns spike more, good quality. The seed method is divided into 2 kinds of strip sowing and sowing.

2, thorn mustard planting method

(1) Selection of land, land preparation:

It is appropriate to choose a more fertile, well-drained sandy loam planting, terrain to sunny and flat as well. Thorny seeds are small, the ground must be careful at the same time to apply enough fertilizer, fine cultivation, applying enough fertilizer, watering, to achieve sufficient moisture, strong ground, flat, soil without pests and diseases.

(2) reproduction methods:

Seed reproduction, live or seedling transplantation. Generally summer live and spring sowing using seedling transplantation. Seeds soaked in warm water with 800 times the new high fat film 4-8 hours after mixing with fine sand (can drive away underground pests and diseases, isolation of viral infections, does not affect the sprouting suction function, strengthen the respiratory strength, improve the seed germination rate). Sowing method can also be used to sow.

(3) seedling transplantation:

After the emergence of seedlings uncovered cover, strengthen the management of the seedling period, according to the plant demand timely watering, fertilizer, weed control, prevention of pests and diseases, the plant rapid free growth, selecting strong and healthy seedlings for transplantation, the surface of the plant sprayed with the new high-fat film, which effectively prevents the ground water does not evaporate, the seedling body water does not transpire, isolation of diseases and pests, shorten the period of delayed seedling, rapid adaptation to the new environment, healthy growth. It can shorten the period of slowing down, quickly adapt to the new environment, and grow up healthily.

(4) field management:

Reasonable fertilization, plowing and weeding, keep the soil moist can, in order to culm strong spikes more in the seedling height of 10 cm, spraying fruits and vegetables strong tilling, so that fruit vegetables to enhance the quality of pollen fertilization, the rate of fruiting is strong, to promote the development of fruits, deformities, no empty shells, no chaffing, neatness is good, the quality of the improvement of the vegetables and fruits to reach a bumper yield.

(5) pest control:

Thorn common diseases are root rot, stem blight, insect pests are tigers, silver moths and so on. Spraying targeted drugs plus new high fat film, greatly improving the utilization of pesticides and fertilizers of the active ingredients, not afraid of the sun evaporation, can regulate the amount of water absorption, drought prevention and rain.
