Second, how to plant wormwood?
1, keep the seeds for sowing.
It is best to keep the plants for 2-3 years when planting wormwood. Choose plants with strong growth, high yield and no pests and diseases. When the fruit is ripe, cut the branches and spread them out to dry, thresh, sieve and winnow to remove impurities. Seeds should be stored in cool and dry bags. Wormwood should be planted in early spring, February-March in the south and March-April in the north. It can be planted directly or transplanted. The row spacing of direct seeding is 40-50cm, so it is not suitable to cover the soil after sowing.
2. Planting and fertilizing
From February to March, the height of wormwood seedlings is 5- 10 cm. When the ground is wet, plant seedlings at a row spacing of 30*40 cm, and cover 2-3 plants for compaction. If it doesn't rain within 2-3 days after planting, it is necessary to drip water to moisturize. After planting wormwood, apply 90 kg urea per hectare as seedling fertilizer when the seedling height is 30 cm, spread it in rainy days and spray it on the leaves in sunny days.
3, reasonable watering
After harvesting in the first half of June, Artemisia argyi needs to turn over the garden to remove the remaining branches and leaves, and at the same time loosen the over-dense stem base and perennial roots. In dry season, the seedlings are sprayed on the leaves below 80cm height, and the whole garden is flooded when the seedlings are above 80 cm height.
4. Harvest and processing
Artemisia argyi is usually harvested in summer. Before flowering, the stems and branches with leaves on the ground are cut off to remove impurities and dead leaves, spread in the sun, tied into bundles and stored in a dry place to prevent moisture and mildew.
