There are more time to plant fennel in a year, but now it's autumn, so when will fennel be planted in autumn? How to increase the yield by planting fennel? Let's get to know each other.

First, the planting time of fennel in autumn

In autumn, fennel can be planted after beginning of autumn. Because fennel has good cold tolerance, it can be planted later according to the local climate characteristics, but it is best not to exceed the middle of September.

Second, the high-yield planting method of fennel in autumn

1, variety selection

There are three kinds of fennel varieties: anise, fennel and corm fennel. Anise is high in variety and short in growth period, but its fragrance is light.

Fennel is shorter than anise, but it has a heavier fragrance and a better taste. Fennel is planted in many areas.

When the bulb fennel grows to a certain stage, its branches and stems will huddle together, with the highest yield and the lightest fragrance, but all three varieties can be planted in autumn, and everyone can choose the varieties according to their own preferences.

2. Soil preparation and fertilization

Fennel has low requirements for growth environment, but in order to make fennel yield high, it is best to plant fennel in sandy soil with fertile soil and good drainage performance. Before planting fennel, foot fertilizer should be applied, and it is best to choose fully decomposed farmyard manure as the base fertilizer, and it can be planted after deep ploughing and soil preparation.

3. Planting management

Fennel seeds are very small and light, and direct sowing can easily lead to uneven seedling emergence, so appropriate amount of sand can be added to the seeds, which can ensure that the fennel planted is particularly uniform.

In order to prevent all seeds from being washed together by watering after planting, it is best to water them before planting, cover them with a thin layer of soil after sowing fennel seeds, and spray water in the morning and evening to improve the emergence rate of fennel. Fennel can emerge in about 7 days after planting.

4. Seedling management

Fennel grows slowly in the early stage and rapidly in the later stage. In order to increase the yield of fennel, the growth rate of fennel should be increased in the early stage of fennel growth, but it should be prosperous in the later stage.

The way to improve the growth rate of fennel in the early stage is to eliminate weeds, and to control the application of water and fertilizer in the later stage.

5, harvesting matters

The best harvesting height of fennel is about 20 cm. Fennel can be harvested once or twice. If it is harvested once, the fennel should be cut off with its stems and roots. If it is harvested twice, the fennel should be cut off at a distance of 1 cm from the soil, and watered and fertilized in time 2-3 days after harvesting, so as to promote the second growth of fennel.

Fennel is a vegetable that many people grow in their families, which is very common in the north. Although it is a common vegetable and the planting method is simple, if you want to grow a good and uniform fennel, you should understand the management methods introduced in this paper.

I hope that the fennel planting technology shared can help everyone.
