The method of planting fennel is as follows:
1. Planting time.
Cumin can be planted in two seasons. The planting time is March and April in spring and September in autumn. Although it can also be planted in winter, because the outdoor temperature is too low, it needs to be planted in a greenhouse, and the yield is not very high. , so it is recommended to sow in spring from February to May, or in summer from July to September.
2. Spread directly.
Cumin germination is relatively simple, and it does not require complicated seed soaking and germination before sowing. Therefore, you only need to sow the seeds after buying the seeds and preparing the soil.
3. Preparing the soil and fertilizing it.
Cumin is usually sown in a flat border. First, prepare the land and apply sole fertilizer to create soil moisture. Then plow the ground and rake it flat to make a 1.5-meter-wide flat border. When sowing dry seeds in drills, make trenches with a row spacing of 30cm and spread the seeds evenly. The seeds should be sown sparsely. Cumin seedlings are neither thinned nor patched, so the seeding rate should be appropriate, sowing 8 to 10 pounds per acre. After sowing, cover the soil with soil and rake it evenly with an iron rake. This can not only protect the moisture but also allow the seeds and soil to better integrate and facilitate the emergence of seedlings.
4. Seedling emergence management.
Cumin seedlings will emerge in about three or four days after sowing. From the time of emergence to harvesting, top dressing can be applied once or twice. When the seedlings grow to about 10cm, they can be topdressed with fertilizer and water. This can not only provide sufficient nutrients, but also In order not to let the plants grow too fast and affect the quality and yield, do not water too much in daily management, just see dry and wet.
5. Prevention and control of pests and diseases.
The main pests and diseases of fennel are root rot, which can cause losses or no harvest in severe cases. When diseased plants are found, they should be removed from the field to avoid infecting other plants. The pests are always cutworms, so they should be discovered in time. Spray special insecticides. When selecting fields, choose fields without insect eggs or kill the insects first.
6. Harvesting.
Fennel can be harvested when it grows to more than 30 centimeters. Fennel can be harvested multiple times or over a large area at once. If you want to increase the yield, you can use multiple harvests. You can pick or harvest each time. When harvesting, you should be more than three centimeters from the ground. After harvesting, topdressing with fertilizer can promote the second harvest. Secondary growth rate, if harvested at one time, the harvest will be completed after uprooting.
Cumin cultivation can not only be eaten by oneself, but also sold in the market, which has good economic benefits. In addition, when we plant fennel, in order to effectively ensure its yield, we must manage it well at each stage.
