Question 2: Red amaranth planting time Red amaranth planting time: North China and Northwest China open ground late April ~ early September sowing, late May ~ early October harvest, growing period of 30 to 60 days. Frost-free areas can be planted throughout the year. Amaranth is a sowing, multiple harvest leafy vegetables. Spring sowing amaranth in the sowing 40 ~ 45 days, plant height 10 ~ 12 cm, with 5 ~ 6 true leaves when the harvest began. The first harvest combined with inter-seedling, pulling out too dense, growing larger seedlings; the second harvest with a sickle for cutting, retaining the base of about 5 centimeters. When the lateral branches grow to about 12 to 15 centimeters, the third harvest.
Question 3: How to plant red amaranth It is recommended that you go to the Shengshi Jinnong agricultural network to check the relevant information, or consult the online agricultural experts, I hope it will help you.
Question 4: How to plant amaranth When I was a kid, I always liked to take red amaranth juice and mix rice, make the rice red, I think it's especially nice, a plate of garlic amaranth, a bowl of tomato and egg soup, a dish of pickled tender cucumber, which is the flavor of early summer when I was a kid. My mom always used the tender amaranth to put down the noodles, washed with egg, when I was a kid I could hold a big bowl and eat a big bowl full of it. Now that I'm separated, I've planted red amaranth on my own land, and I'm looking forward to my mom's return in the summer to eat the red amaranth that I planted with my own hands.
Tools / raw materials
Amaranth seeds, fine sand, mulch
Organic fertilizer, fermented human feces and urine, bath water
Methods / Steps
Amaranth, we call this side of the Khan vegetable, summer bath water to splash it, the more splash the growth of more exuberant. Especially in summer, when the sun at noon, the bath water or hand washing water to splash it, and not a waste of valuable water, but also to the sweat of the vegetables to add water, it is really two birds with one stone!
1. Seeds.
Amaranth seeds are very, very small, like a small black shiny sand, the picture forgot to take, everyone compared to the head of the little ants, black shiny black shiny, the seeds can be kept by yourself, you can also buy in the seed store, 1 dollar can buy a lot of it. Mixed with fine sand, and then evenly sprinkled in the ground.
Amaranth seeds also have quite a few varieties, there are red amaranth and white amaranth, depending on your own preferences.
Shattered thoughts: the ground should be leveled first, put on the bottom fertilizer, such as buried in the fermented human feces or organic fertilizer, you can choose to choose after the rain sowing Khan vegetable seeds, so you can not have to splash the water la, if the day is clear, it is in the afternoon after the sowing, after the sowing remember to water oh! Then every morning and evening to splash water once, of course, if the weather is more humid, you can also splash once a day.
If the planting is relatively early, you have to lay the film, I am the end of March and early April planting, so lay the film, if the May, then do not have to lay the film.
Amaranth grew out of the small leaves, remember to fertilize yo, fermented dilute human waste, bath water is a good fertilizer. Grow to a certain extent to get rid of insects, such as cabbage greenworm.
The small amaranth grew up, you can pick and eat.
Question 5: the growth habit of amaranth amaranth like warmth, more heat-resistant, growth temperature 23 ~ 27 ℃, 20 ℃ below the slow growth, 10 ℃ below the seed germination difficulties. Requirements for soil moist, but not flood-resistant, the air humidity requirements are not strict. Is a short-day vegetables, in the high temperature and short sunshine conditions, easy to shoot and flower. Cultivated in the spring when the temperature is suitable and the sunshine is long, the shoots are late, the quality is tender and the yield is high.
Question 6: When is the season for amaranth? Amaranth is a spring and summer dish. But it can also be eaten in the fall, the amaranth in the fall is not very tasty, the old stalks are too much. Generally spring and summer amaranth is the most delicious. In Zhejiang, we usually have pure green amaranth, but there are also red amaranth. Generally, when the seedling is bigger and near the plant, it will be pulled up by the roots and eaten, of course, you can also pick the tender part of the tip. Tender amaranth is very tasty, do not need to move teeth, melt in the mouth. Amaranth contains a lot of iron and has a very tasty flavor, but it's not as tasty fried as it is in soup. If you want to make soup, boil the water first, put in the amaranth directly, and then knock two heads of garlic, must be garlic, perfect match. My home grows its own tender much more, the vegetable market is relatively coarse, the taste is also worse.
Question 7: please ask the winter amaranth flower what season to plant amaranth, also known as rice amaranth, is the genus Amaranthus in the Amaranthaceae with tender stems and leaves for the edible part of the annual herbs. Native to China, only China, India, Japan, etc. for vegetable cultivation. South of the Yangtze River in China is cultivated more, the north is now also cultivated.
Amaranthus is rich in nutrients, per 100 grams of fresh stems containing 90.1 grams of water, protein 1.8 grams, 54 grams of carbohydrates, 0.8 grams of crude fiber, vitamin C28 mg, carotene 1.95 grams. Mineral content is also very high, its calcium content in vegetables in addition to mustard, squash, amaranth is the highest, 180 mg; iron 3.4 ~ 4.8 grams, 1 times higher than spinach; phosphorus content of 46 mg. Amaranth mainly seedlings or young stems and leaves for vegetables, fried food for soup.
Because amaranth is heat-resistant and widely adaptable, it is sown in stages and listed in stages, and it can be supplied from April to November, and it is one of the most important vegetables to increase the color of vegetables in the market in the summer off-season.
1. Botanical characteristics Amaranthus root system is developed, taproot system, the main lateral roots are developed, distributed deep and wide. Stem height 80 to 150 centimeters, less branching. Seedling period, amaranth stem texture is more brittle, the main stem growth point removed, lateral branches can grow rapidly. Leaves alternate, entire, apex pointed into an obtuse circle; ovate-orbicular, oblong-ovoid or lanceolate, foliage wrinkled, 4 to 10 centimeters long; 2 to 7 centimeters wide, with green, yellowish-green, purplish-red, green and purplish-red inlays. Flowers unisexual or polygamous, in spikes, very small, terminal or axillary. Seeds very small, round, black glossy, 1,000 grains weight 0.27 grams.
2. Growth and development and environmental conditions
(1) temperature amaranthus likes warmth, heat tolerance is strong, intolerance of cold. Growth temperature 23 ~ 27 ℃, 20 ℃ below the slow growth, the temperature is too high, high stem fibrosis. 10 ℃ below the temperature conditions, seed germination difficulties.
(2) light amaranth is a high temperature short sunshine crop, in high temperature short sunshine conditions are very easy to flower and seed. Cultivated in the spring and summer when the temperature is suitable for long sunshine, the shoots are late, the quality is soft and tender, and the yield is high.
(3) Soil, water and nutrients Amaranthus has a strong adaptability to the soil, and grows better in alkaline soil. Amaranth has strong drought resistance, but when there is enough water, the leaves are soft and tender, and the quality is good. Amaranth does not tolerate waterlogging, and requires the soil to be drained and irrigated. In addition, fertile soil is favorable to obtain high yield.
3. Varieties of amaranth in addition to wild amaranth and seed amaranth, culture amaranth varieties. According to the leaf shape, it can be divided into round leaf species and pointed leaf species. Round leaf species leaves round or ovoid, leaf surface often crumpled, slower growth, maturity later, but high yield, good quality, flowering and shooting late. Pointed leaf species leaves lanceolate or long ovoid, apex pointed, plant growth faster, early maturity, but low yield, poor quality. Amaranth is generally divided into green amaranth, red amaranth, colored amaranth 3 kinds by the color of the leaves.
(1) Green amaranth Leaves and petioles are green or yellow-green, leaf surface is spreading, plant height is about 30 cm, edible taste is harder than red amaranth and colored amaranth. It is heat-resistant and suitable for spring and fall cultivation.
① Shanghai white amaranth Shanghai farm variety, leaf ovoid, apex obtuse rounded, leaf surface slightly wrinkled, leaf and petiole yellowish-green; late maturity, strong heat tolerance, suitable for spring or fall sowing.
② Guangzhou willow leaf amaranth Guangzhou farm variety, leaf lanceolate apex acute, edge upward curled into a spatula, leaf green, petiole green-white, cold and heat resistance is strong.
③ Nanjing woodear amaranth Nanjing farm variety, leaf blade is smaller, ovoid, leaf dark green and black, wrinkled.
(2) Red amaranth Leaf blade, petiole and stem are purplish red. The height of the plant is less than 30 centimeters, the leaf surface is slightly wrinkled, and the leaf flesh is thick. It has a softer texture than green amaranth and is moderately heat-resistant. The growing period of 30 to 40 days, suitable for spring and fall cultivation.
① Chongqing Dahongpao Chongqing farm variety, leaf ovoid leaf surface slightly wrinkled, wax red, leaf back purple red, petiole light purple red. Early maturity, strong drought tolerance.
② Guangzhou red amaranth Guangzhou farm varieties, leaf ovoid, apex acute, leaf surface slightly wrinkled, leaf blade, petiole red, late maturity, strong heat resistance.
③ Kunming red amaranth Kunming farm varieties, stems erect purple-red, branching, leaf ovoid, leaf surface slightly wrinkled, purple-red.
(3) colored amaranth Stem green, leaf edge green, purple-red near the veins, or in the upper half of the leaf blade or the lower part of the mosaic of red or purple-red patches, the leaf surface is slightly wrinkled, plant height of about 30 cm. Early maturity, cold hardiness is strong, spring sowing about 50 days to harvest, summer sowing about 30 days to harvest. Suitable for early spring cultivation.
① Shanghai pointed leaf red rice amaranth Shanghai farm variety, leaf long ovate, apex acute, leaf surface slightly wrinkled, leaf edge green, purple red near the leaf veins, petiole red with ...... >>
Question 8: What season to plant what vegetables As the temperature difference between the south and the north is relatively large, it is best to combine the local temperature to decide. The following is for reference only:
Spring
(solar calendar 3 ~ May)
leeks, amaranth, tomatoes, bitter melon, save the heart, squash, peas, beans, fish, asahi peppers, eggplant, perilla, mullein, maize, purple back vegetables, eggplants, cucurbits
Summer
(solar calendar 6 ~ August)
Hollow cabbage
Autumn
(September to November)
Cabbage, white radish, cowpea, oil bean, spinach, parsley, beetroot, cabbage, celery, autumn eggplant, Chrysanthemum, lettuce.
Winter
(December to February)
Bok choy, choy sum, spinach, lettuce, carrots, parsley, lily, radish, mustard greens,
Year-round vegetables
Garlic, green onions, cabbage, bean sprouts
Question 9: When will amaranth come out of the seed? The emergence of amaranth depends on the weather after sowing, and it takes about 7 - 10 days in early spring to emerge. In spring, the temperature is low and there is a lot of water, so watering should be controlled, and watering should be frequent only when there is a drought in the high temperature, and the seedlings will come out in 3--5 days after sowing in summer.
Question 10: How many days after planting white amaranth germinate after planting white amaranth can germinate in about a week after planting if it is not catalyzed, which is also related to the temperature of planting and the quality of planting.
Analysis:
It likes heat, so it is suitable for planting and germination if the cultivation temperature is high.
A high quality of planting, i.e. the rate of germination, also favors germination.
Soaking the seeds can advance the germination time.
Growth habit:
Tolerant of heat and humidity, best suited to high temperature cultivation.
The leaf is plump, oval, white-green and tender.
Usually cultivated by direct seeding, suitable for dense planting, abundant yield, late mossing, less pests and diseases.
Cultivation points:
Choose flat terrain, convenient drainage and irrigation, fertile and loose sandy loam or clay loam, and prefer alkaline soil.
Generally used direct seeding, rarely transplanted seedlings, to harvest seedlings for food.
Early spring February to March sowing, more use of greenhouses and small arches cultivation.
Spring sowing (April to May), more sets of seeds in melons, eggplant and beans, or mixed with other leafy vegetables, staged sowing, harvesting one after another.
