Planting method

1. Preparing the land, making borders, and applying base fertilizer

After selecting the plot, carry out deep plowing before winter. The width of the border (including border ridges) should be at least 20 cm smaller than the width of the film, and a small groove of 40 cm wide should be left between the two borders for lamination. Dig a nest every 50-60 cm in the border, and sift the excavated soil finely to cover the seeds. After digging the soil, the border surface should be leveled, and then decomposed and mashed livestock and poultry manure should be added to mix the manure and soil evenly, and then the ground should be leveled and ready for sowing.

2. Soaking seeds for germination

The skin of cherry radish seeds is thin, so the soaking time should not be too long. Generally, the seeds are soaked in warm water for 2-3 hours. After taking them out, wash them with cold water and put them in a bowl. Cover the clean container with a wet sack and place it in the greenhouse for germination at 18-22 degrees Celsius.

The germination time should not be too long, because budded seeds are difficult to sow and can easily bruise the buds and affect seedling emergence. Just crack the seed coat during germination. If you find that some of the seeds have exposed white buds, you can move the germination container to a place below 10 degrees Celsius to control the growth of the buds. During the germination period, turn the seeds every 4-5 hours to make the upper and lower temperatures in the container uniform so that the seedlings can emerge completely after sowing.

3. Sowing

Sowing can be done when the temperature is above 8℃. It will be launched in time for the Spring Festival and the economic benefits will be considerable. Cherry radish is relatively cold-tolerant and should be sown as early as possible. Sowing should be done on a sunny day in the morning. The general seeding rate per acre is 1,000 grams. Water before sowing to allow penetration into a 10 cm thick soil layer. After sowing, cover with 1 to 1.5 cm of fine soil. The covering soil should be even and consistent in thickness.
