Because mustard-family vegetables are easily affected by climatic conditions, there are considerable growing risks. To avoid risks and grow er cai well, the <strong>er cai growing techniques</strong> and precautions have been compiled here for growers' reference only. <p style="text-align: center;"></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00">I. Er cai growing techniques</span></strong></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#008080">1. Seedbed preparation for sowing</span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">Choose a shaded area for the seedbed; loam or sandy loam with deep, fertile, loose soil, convenient drainage and irrigation, and no pests or diseases is best. In early to mid-August, deep-plough the soil to let it weather; scatter 15-25 kg of quicklime per mu to disinfect and adjust soil pH (a neutral to slightly alkaline pH of 6.5-8). If only quicklime is scattered, the soil will harden and become poor; add decomposed human and livestock manure plus superphosphate and plant ash, as well as trace elements such as boron, magnesium and zinc, as a base fertilizer, mix thoroughly with the seedbed soil, level and finely break up the soil, and make beds about 1.7 m wide for later use.</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#008080">2. Sowing and raising seedlings</span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">To grow er cai well, choosing the sowing period is very important and is the key; different sowing periods give completely different results: if the sowing period is too early and the temperature is too high, the plants easily bolt into a club shape, flower, and become leggy; if the sowing period is too late, there are few or small child buds, they take a pineapple shape, do not easily form child buds and become hollow plants, are prone to disease, and yield is low, losing quality and marketability.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00">II. Er cai growing precautions</span></strong></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">1. Mastering the sowing period is the key to growing er cai well; er cai forms child buds in cool climates.</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">2. For arranging a suitable sowing period, in low-altitude areas (below 800 m) the sowing period is generally August 25 to September 15, with September 1 to 3 being optimal (southwest China: Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou).</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">3. The temperature during the period when er cai child buds form is 8-15°C. In high-altitude areas, please choose the sowing period cautiously on the basis of successful trial plantings, and only then promote cultivation on a large scale. Sowing before August 20 and after September 20 is strictly prohibited, otherwise the plants easily bolt into a club shape and do not grow child buds. If the temperature is too high, child buds cannot form and the plants easily bolt and flower.</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">4. Er cai seedlings are generally about 25 days old; transplant in October, with a reference spacing of 45-50 cm between plants and rows, and about 2,000 plants per mu. For fertilizing, note that it should be light first and heavy later; when weeding, be careful not to damage the roots, and cultivate shallowly. If high temperatures occur before Start of Winter and the plants grow too vigorously and become leggy, spray a 500-800 times dilution of paclobutrazol. Throughout the whole growth period, strictly guard against aphids and damping-off. The harvest period is January to March of the following year.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"></p>
