Wheat vetch has such a beautiful name, the flowers are beautiful, and the language of flowers is even more beautiful - happiness is not inevitable, as long as you know how to cherish it, happiness is within your reach.

Vitch (scientific name: Astragalussinicus L.) is a biennial herbaceous plant in the Leguminosae family. It is prostrate and multi-branched, up to 30 cm in height, with odd-numbered pinnate compound leaves, and the petioles are shorter than the rachis.

As we all know, milkvetch is one of the main nectar plants in my country. The honey we usually eat contains milkvetch. It has a natural and fresh aroma, bright and sweet, pure natural, and rich in nutrients. It is not only edible. Milkvetch is a common green manure in southern China. It is a herbaceous plant that is usually grown as forage. It produces a lot of grass. Especially high, it can maintain ecological balance and can be used as green manure or pasture for livestock. It is a very valuable herbaceous plant.

Mirror vetch planting technology:

1. Planting time

The most suitable planting time for vetch is generally Sow seeds from late September to early October. Before sowing, the seeds should be dried for half a day. You can also soak the seeds for 36 hours for germination. Then mix with an appropriate amount of soil and fertilizer and broadcast them directly. After sowing, water them enough. If sown too early, the rice growth period will be too long and the seedlings will be thin. If sown too late, they will be susceptible to frost damage and there will be insufficient overwintering seedlings. Generally, 1.5-2 kilograms of seeds are used per mu. When sowing, the amount must be determined according to the field, and the seeds must be sown evenly in the borders so that the seeds fall evenly. If the seeds are sown under suitable conditions, they will grow very quickly. Seedlings will emerge in 4 to 7 days after sowing, and they can be harvested 2 to 3 times after planting once.

2. Suitable temperature

The suitable temperature for the germination of milkvetch seeds is 15℃~25℃. During germination, it needs to absorb more water and a large amount of oxygen. In late autumn, the temperature will drop, and straw can be covered to keep warm and moisturizing, thereby promoting the growth of seedlings and the formation and development of branches.

3. Sowing methods

With vetch within the appropriate sowing range, higher fresh grass yields can be obtained. If sown early, the rice fertilizer growth period will be too long, and the seedlings will basically lack seedlings; if sown too late, there will be a lack of winter seedlings. Therefore, depending on the maturity of the rice, milkvetch should master the first growth period of the rice for about 15 days. Sowing Before sowing, seeds are selected and kneaded. If the seed clarity and germination rate are above 90%, 2-3 kg per acre should be used, or the seeding rate should be increased appropriately to ensure 300,000 seedlings in winter. Mixed sowing of "three flowers" is advocated, generally 1.5-2 kg of milkvetch, 0.4 kg of radish seeds, and 0.2 kg of rapeseed.

4. Field management:

Generally, after the vetch emerges, 250-300 kilograms of thin manure per acre is used, combined with drought-resistant watering. , make full use of the temperature, light and water conditions before winter to accelerate the growth of seedlings. In early to mid-December, apply 400-500 kilograms of soil fertilizer and 25-30 kilograms of superphosphate per acre to enhance cold resistance and reduce freezing damage. Applying more superphosphate is an important way to use small fertilizer to grow big fertilizer. Measures to increase production. After the beginning of spring, topdress 2-4 kilograms of urea per acre and fertilize seedlings to promote balanced production and build a framework for high yields. Spraying 0.2% borax solution twice on the leaves can increase the yield of fresh grass.
