The Latest Cultivation Techniques and Methods Tutorial for False Daisy
False daisy, also known as yerba de tago, is a very common traditional Chinese medicinal herb in China, with effects such as nourishing the liver and kidneys and cooling the blood to stop bleeding. It is distributed throughout various regions of China. Now the market demand for false daisy is growing larger and larger, and the planting area is also becoming larger and larger. There are also many people who want to start large-scale planting, so how should false daisy be planted? Today, the editor brings you the cultivation techniques for false daisy. Let's take a look below!
1. Site Selection and Land Preparation
False daisy has certain requirements for its growing environment. Generally, the planting site should be chosen in moist, loose, fertile sandy soil rich in organic matter. After selecting the site, do the land preparation work well, carry out deep plowing, and the deep plowing depth should be kept at about 30 cm. Then dig drainage ditches well to facilitate irrigation and drainage management during planting. Then apply sufficient base fertilizer, mainly farmyard manure and compound fertilizer, and apply it evenly and thoroughly into the soil. Ensure that the base fertilizer is fully mixed with the soil, ensuring that the nutrients needed for false daisy seed germination and growth are met.
2. Timely Sowing
False daisy is generally propagated mainly by sowing. The suitable time for sowing each year is around April. First, prepare the seeds, choosing seeds with high yield, no obvious wounds, and no pests or diseases. Because its seeds have relatively strong germination ability, the germination-promotion work is reduced. Before sowing, control the planting density well and dig the sowing furrows, keeping the depth at about 3 cm. Then sow the seeds evenly into the sowing furrows, then cover with fine soil and water thoroughly to improve soil moisture and water retention capacity. Promote seed germination and increase the emergence rate of false daisy.
3. Field Management
After the seedlings successfully break through the soil, strengthen seedling management. When the seedlings grow to about 4 cm, thin them in time according to the planting spacing to ensure that each seedling has sufficient growing space. Then pay attention to doing the work of cultivating and weeding well, because the growth ability of false daisy seedlings is relatively weak. If weeds are not removed in time, the weeds will seize the growth nutrients of the seedlings and hinder seedling growth. Also keep the soil moist, and appropriately apply dilute manure water as a top dressing according to seedling growth. In early summer, apply farmyard manure again as a top dressing, and finally supplement an appropriate amount of superphosphate during the vigorous growth period. Pay attention to the fertilizer amount to prevent excessive fertilization from causing fertilizer damage to false daisy.
4. Pest and Disease Control
Although false daisy has relatively strong disease resistance, poor management during planting or excessive weather changes can still cause some pests and diseases. For example, powdery mildew, white grubs, and others. These pests and diseases are very harmful to false daisy. Therefore, we also need to do a good job in pest and disease control, strengthen fertilizer and water management, disinfect regularly, and often observe the growth of false daisy. Achieve early detection and early treatment of pests and diseases. When abnormalities are found, handle them in time, check the specific cause, and then apply the right remedy. Do not use medicine blindly to prevent phytotoxicity.
The above is a brief introduction to the cultivation techniques for false daisy. The cultivation of false daisy is very simple, because false daisy was originally a wild grass and has very strong growth ability. When planting artificially, choosing suitable soil is more beneficial to the growth of false daisy, but everyone also needs to do a good job in field management to effectively increase yield and expand planting benefits.
