Basil is a deep-rooted plant, and its roots can be buried 50 ~100 cm, so it is advisable to choose sandy loam with good drainage and loose soil. Before planting, apply sufficient base fertilizer, level and rake, and make the flat or high border of the party about 130 cm.

2. Breeding method

Reproduce with seeds. Sow in the south from March to April, and in the north from late April to early May. Shallow furrows should be made according to the row spacing of about 35 cm for drill sowing, and shallow holes should be made according to the hole spacing of 25 cm for hole sowing, which should be evenly spread into ditches or holes, covered with a thin layer of soil and kept moist, and 3-4.5 kg of seeds should be used per hectare. Seedlings can also be transplanted. In the north, seedlings can be raised in the sunny border in March, and the seedlings can be transplanted in the field when the height is10 ~15 cm. Watering practically after transplanting.

3. Field management

When the height of seedlings is 6 ~ 1 0cm, the seedlings should be thinned and replenished, and 2 ~ 3 seedlings should be reserved for each hole, and the drilling rate should be10cm1plant. Generally, intertillage weeding is done twice, and the first time is after emergence10 ~ 20 days, and the topsoil is hoed shallowly. The second time is from early May to early June. Before the seedlings are closed, human and animal manure should be applied after each intertillage. You should pay attention to watering in time because you are afraid of drought in seedling stage.
