A Detailed Guide to the Growing Conditions and Artificial Cultivation Methods of Paris polyphylla
Paris polyphylla is a relatively well-known important variety, and it is currently distributed in many parts of our country. Paris polyphylla has strong efficacy and effects, so it is deeply loved by a large number of consumers. Nowadays many people want to cultivate it. But before cultivating it, what everyone is most concerned about is probably its cultivation techniques! Let's take a look together below!
Growing Conditions for Paris polyphylla
1. Soil: Paris polyphylla likes to grow in acidic soil, and the soil needs to be fertile and also needs to have relatively good water permeability. It cannot grow in alkaline soil or clay soil, and heavy clay, water-accumulating and hardened soil is not suitable for planting. So when choosing soil, you must pay more attention.
2. Moisture: Paris polyphylla likes to grow in a cool, moderately moist and relatively shady environment. It is both afraid of drought and afraid of water accumulation. If the soil moisture content is too low, it easily causes the stems and leaves to lose water and the root system to dry up and die, while if it is too high, it easily leads to pests and diseases and rhizome rot. So the choice regarding moisture is also very important.
3. Temperature: Paris polyphylla is still quite resistant to low-temperature environments, so its requirements for temperature are not very high. From late February to early March, when the temperature is 5°C, or even when the minimum temperature is 2°C, it can still sprout and grow. When the temperature is 1-2°C, no frost damage occurs to the buds. Generally, the suitable temperature for seed germination, root growth and development, and terminal bud germination is 18°C-20°C, for seedling emergence it is 20°C, for aboveground plant growth it is 16°C-20°C, and for underground rhizome growth it is 14°C-18°C. You should also pay more attention when choosing the temperature.
4. Light: Paris polyphylla prefers shade and cannot accept too strong sunlight, so when planting, shading work is also very important. Strong light will cause the leaves to wither. Generally, the seed germination and seedling stages require relatively good shading, and in the one or two years before maturity, the shading can be appropriately reduced somewhat, which is beneficial to its growth.
Artificial Cultivation Methods for Paris polyphylla
1. Choose a suitable location. Paris polyphylla likes to grow in warm and relatively shady places, so site selection is very important. But it also needs a certain amount of light, so when choosing a planting site, choose sloping land with short sunshine duration, and the soil is best if it is loose humus soil. The root system of Paris polyphylla does not grow deep, so when preparing the land, shallow plowing is enough. When preparing the land, apply sufficient base fertilizer and then make beds. Generally, the bed width is 1.5 m and the height is about 30 cm. Then mix the base fertilizer and the soil together evenly, and finally after leveling it, you can sow.
2. Sowing techniques. When sowing Paris polyphylla, it is necessary to choose a suitable time. The sowing time is in May. Before sowing, first soak the seeds in clean water for one day, then take them out and mix them with plant ash for disinfection before sowing. When sowing, make holes in the ground, generally 3-5 cm deep, with a spacing of 30-35 cm between holes. Sow two or three seeds in each hole, cover with soil in time after sowing, and water according to the dry and wet conditions of the soil. Seedlings can emerge in about one week.
3. Fertilizer and soil management. During the vigorous growth period of Paris polyphylla, fertilization work must be done well. Paris polyphylla generally grows vigorously from June to August, so fertilizer should be applied in time in early June to ensure the needs of growth. When fertilizing, try to use farmyard manure and organic fertilizer. Apply 2000-3000 kg of fully decomposed farmyard manure per mu, and apply 20-30 kg of calcium fertilizer per mu at the roots, then earth up. When fertilizing, you must pay attention to controlling the amount.
Pest and Disease Control for Paris polyphylla
1. Damping-off. This disease is relatively common. When controlling it, you must strengthen seedbed management and provide appropriate ventilation and light transmission. When the disease is first seen, spray a 600-fold dilution of 65% chlorothalonil wettable powder, a 500-fold dilution of 60% mancozeb wettable powder, or a 600-fold dilution of 62.2% propamocarb aqueous solution, once every 6-10 days, for 2-3 treatments. Finally, you also need to promptly remove and clean up some of the diseased soil nearby.
2. Scarab beetles. It is best to do this at night, and torches can be used to trap and kill adult beetles. Spray fresh vegetable leaves with trichlorfon and place them on the bed surface to trap and kill larvae. When preparing the land and making beds, scatter 1.5-2 kg of 5% phoxim granules per mu, or 2.3 kg of 3X carbofuran granules. When controlling them, the dosage must be well controlled.
The cultivation method of Paris polyphylla is actually very simple. When planting, you must do a good job in site selection, and then manage it at the appropriate time. Fertilization and pest and disease control are both very important points for ensuring its growth, so everyone needs to pay more attention.
