Seed reproduction. One generation a year. seedlings in early May, peaked in mid-May, early June began to branch, June to August flowering, fruit, late July seeds gradually mature.

Cultivation Season and Cultivation Methods

Arugula can be cultivated in the open ground, hydroponics or production of sprouts, etc., the south of China is suitable for cultivation in the fall to spring, the anniversary of the cooler areas can be phased, batch sowing, to achieve the annual supply. In the southern summer need to build cooling rain shed, in order to prevent sun exposure and rainstorms.

Sowing

Arugula grows rapidly, to live is appropriate, but it is appropriate to choose fertile, loose, drainage and irrigation water convenient soil for planting. Sowing before the application of sufficient fertilizer, and supplemented with quick-acting fertilizer, mu Shi rotted manure 1000-1500 kg, harrowing, ridging for beds. Sowing can be sown or strip sowing, strip sowing according to row spacing 8-12 cm open shallow groove sowing, general mu with the amount of 250-300 grams of seed. After sowing, it is appropriate to cover the black shade net or other coverings, and watering, 3 days after the shade net and other coverings should be removed in a timely manner. Generally 4-5 days to flush seedlings. Harvest seedlings listed, to direct broadcasting; harvest vegetable shoots, to seedling transplantation, transplantation plant spacing of 20 cm × 30 cm.

Field management

Sesame seedling with 3-4 leaves can be combined with the young plant harvesting seedlings and seedlings, pulling out the weak seedlings, poor seedlings, and remove weeds in the field. Seedling completed depending on the plant growth potential fertilizer, fertilizer to urea or compound fertilizer and other fast-acting fertilizer-based, every 7 days fertilizer 1 time. In the harvest before 5-7 days should not be followed by manure water, so as not to affect the quality. Arugula has a high demand for water, in the growing period should try to maintain the soil moist, except for rainy days, all need to spray water, in order to keep the leaves tender, reduce its strong pungent flavor and bitter taste.

Pest Control

Arugula is extremely resistant to pests and diseases and is cultivated in the fall to spring with very few pests and diseases. Generally common yellow stripe flea beetles, small cabbage moth damage to the leaves, can be used 40.7% of Lesbian emulsion 1500 times, flea beetles kill 600-800 times, etc. Prevention and control. In the hot and rainy summer cultivation is more prone to leaf spot disease, can use 25% carbendazim wettable powder 600-800 times liquid, spot that is off the emulsion 1000 times liquid control.

Harvesting in time

Arugula grows rapidly, timely harvesting is the key to high quality production. Arugula can be harvested outside the leaf, vegetable shoots or pull out the whole plant. Sowing
