Before planting quinoa, we first need to do a good job of planting plots of land preparation and fertilization. Planting plots of previous crops to non-asteroidal crops, to ensure a good drainage and irrigation conditions, soil fertility. Before planting, the soil should be well ploughed and sun-disturbed work, and with the application of sufficient base fertilizer. To rot farmyard fertilizer, and then make the bed, the width of the bed is maintained at about 2 meters, to the deep ditch raised bed cultivation. Then we also need to pay attention to the removal of weeds in the field, to ensure the normal growth and development of the quinoa root system, to improve the accumulation of nutrients.
2, strip sowing planting
Quinoa's propagation method is generally seed propagation based. Sowing time is usually in March-April every year, the seeds and fine soil mix well and then direct sowing can be. Sowing method whether live or strip seeding can be, but it is best to be able to strip seeding. In strip sowing, the row spacing should be maintained at about 30cm. Then after sowing to cover a layer of fine soil and watering, under normal circumstances, in late March when the seedlings will emerge. After the seedlings emerge, you should do a good job of seedling replenishment to ensure that the rate of seedling flush.
3, field management
Quinoa in the sowing time, its temperature is still relatively low, so it is vulnerable to frost damage, the phenomenon of beating. So if the ground part is frost, then pay attention to timely cut off the quinoa stalks. Then remove the dead leaves and weeds in the field, and loosen the soil appropriately. Each acre and then apply the appropriate amount of compound fertilizer, watering into the adequate bottom water, about a week or so after the buckling cover film. Directly cover the film on the plant, will be around the compaction can be. If the soil application is large, then we have to delay the time of covering the film appropriately. Finally, on sunny days, the temperature is higher at noon, and this time we should do a proper job of ventilation to cool down the temperature and humidity.
4, harvest management
Quinoa planting methods generally have open field planting as well as facility planting two. Facility planting, quinoa is able to cover in stages and batches. It can be earlier time to market, to ensure a balanced supply. One of the greenhouse cover planting, after covering about one and a half months, when the plant grows to about 22 centimeters or so can be harvested on the market. At harvest time, the quinoa is first cut at the base, retaining a small number of new leaves on the young stems and removing all other leaves. It is then stacked in a cool place and covered with a damp cloth and allowed to soften briefly before it is ready for market.
5, notes
Quinoa in the temperature conditions of about 4 ℃ began to sprout, in 12-18 ℃ and well-ventilated environment faster growth, and 20-25 ℃ when easy to aging. Quinoa is moisture tolerant but not drought tolerant, high temperature and dry season should be watered frequently to keep the soil moist, in order to promote seedling growth. But waterlogging is also unfavorable to its growth.
Quinoa cultivation process, pay attention to timely removal of weeds in the field to ensure the normal growth of the root system. After the seedlings to mu urea 10Kg or 2000Kg of animal and human fertilizer, and when the seedlings are 10cm high when the urea 15Kg. every harvest mu with potassium dihydrogen phosphate 0.5Kg or urea 0.5Kg spray.
Quinoa insect pests are aphids, corn borer, cabbage greenfly, spiny moth, etc., can be used to inhibit TaiBao, Kardec, chrysanthemum class of high-efficiency low residue pesticides for prevention and control. While the disease is powdery mildew, botrytis and gray mold, powdery mildew can be used carbendazim, powdery mildew or saline control, botrytis and gray mold can be used to prevent and control the speed of Kelvin or Kelvin.
