How much is Chinese toon per jin now? Detailed seedling-stage management techniques

Chinese toon, also known as Chinese toon sprouts, is a common vegetable around Qingming, and is deeply loved by people for its high nutritional value and good taste. It is sold in markets and the price is a little on the expensive side, so roughly how much is Chinese toon per jin now? What are the seedling-stage management techniques?

1. Introduction to Chinese toon:

1. Is Chinese toon a "trigger food"?

Chinese toon is a trigger food, but most people can eat it, and it has little effect on the body. However, people with chronic diseases had best not eat it or eat less of it, to avoid triggering a relapse.

2. Are Chinese toon sprouts available all year round?

Chinese toon sprouts generally only appear around Qingming. After this period passes, only the trunk remains, aging naturally. But since soilless cultivation is now possible, Chinese toon can also be seen all year round, though it is rarely seen in markets.

2. Roughly how much is Chinese toon per jin now?

The market price of Chinese toon is very high; it can be said to be a luxury among vegetables, and it is harvested only once a year, so the usual price is around 20-50 yuan per jin. But if the yield is very low, it can sell for over a hundred yuan per jin, so the specific price depends on various factors such as the time it hits the market, variety and market. For example, at the Beijing Tongzhou Balichao Agricultural Products Center Wholesale Market the price is around 19 yuan per jin, at the Tianjin Xiqing District Dangcheng Vegetable Wholesale Market it is around 16 yuan per jin, and in supermarkets it is around 30 yuan per jin, so the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market.

3. What are the seedling-stage management techniques for Chinese toon?

1. Remove the film in good time: when is the best time to remove the film?

Since Chinese toon likes to grow in an environment with sufficient light and a warm climate, and the seeds only germinate at 25 degrees, many regions cover the seedlings with a layer of film when planting to increase air humidity and temperature. But once the seedlings emerge, the film should be removed in good time to promote light absorption and normal growth.

2. Thin and fill in seedlings at the right time: when is the best time to thin and fill in seedlings?

When the Chinese toon seedlings grow one or two true leaves, check the growth conditions in the plot in good time, and promptly pull out weak and dead seedlings, and transplant dense or sparse seedlings in good time to fill gaps, to ensure uniform seedlings. Generally, it is best to control the spacing between each seedling at about 4cm.

3. Final thinning at the right time: when is the best time for final thinning?

When the Chinese toon seedlings grow 3 true leaves, final thinning can be done as appropriate. Once they grow 5 true leaves (when 9cm tall), dig them out with soil and roots and move them to the plot. When transplanting, set them out at a plant spacing of 12cm and a row spacing of 14cm.

4. Cultivate and weed at the right time: when is the best time to weed?

After the seedlings are planted, observe the growth conditions in the plot in good time and do the cultivating and weeding work well. When loosening the soil, loosen it as shallowly as possible to avoid damaging the root system. When there are a large number of weeds, a dedicated chemical agent can be used to remove them.

5. Fertilizer requirements: how to fertilize?

After the seedlings are planted, apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer according to the growth conditions in the plot to ensure seedling growth. When fertilizing, never apply it directly on the roots or leaves, to prevent them from being burned to death.

6. Water requirements: how to water?

After the seedlings are planted, water them in good time according to the soil's dryness and moisture. When watering, never water too much, to avoid waterlogging that causes root rot.

7. Pinch tips at the right time: when is the best time to pinch tips?

In the middle and late stages of the seedlings, pinch the tips in good time to prevent the central growing point from growing too strongly and becoming leggy. Of course, some agents such as paclobutrazol can be sprayed as appropriate to inhibit seedling growth.

The above is a detailed introduction to the market price of Chinese toon and seedling-stage management techniques. I hope it is helpful to everyone.
