Latest Planting Techniques and Methods Tutorial for Patrinia
Patrinia, also known as Thlaspi arvense or field pennycress, often grows on mountain slopes, grasslands and roadsides, and is distributed throughout the country. It has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, and removing blood stasis and expelling pus. So how should Patrinia be planted? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction together.
1. Land preparation and fertilization
Patrinia does not have strict requirements for soil, and ordinary soil can be used for planting, but it is not suitable for planting in saline-alkali land or waterlogged land. Choose a suitable field plot and carry out intensive cultivation. Apply base fertilizer during cultivation, mainly organic fertilizer, applying about 3000 kg of decomposed organic fertilizer, 20 kg of urea, and 50 kg of phosphate and potassium fertilizer per mu. Spread it evenly on the soil, rake it fine and level it, then make raised beds and wait for sowing.
2. Sowing
Patrinia is generally propagated by seeds. The sowing period can be divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing. Spring sowing is around Qingming Festival. When sowing, open furrows on the bed surface at a row spacing of 30 cm, then evenly scatter the seeds into the furrows, cover with soil, water, and preserve soil moisture to promote seedling emergence. Autumn sowing can be done before the frost in winter, using the same method as spring sowing. Both spring sowing and autumn sowing use about 1 kg of seeds per mu.
3. Field management
After the seedlings emerge completely, thinning is carried out together with cultivating and weeding. When thinning, remove weak seedlings and diseased seedlings, and keep strong-growing seedlings. In addition, fertilizer and water management for seedlings is also extremely important, as it affects the growth of the plants. Water promptly during drought, and drain promptly after rainy weather to avoid soil water accumulation causing poor root growth, or causing root rot and seedling death. Apply topdressing once before the plants close the rows, mainly with quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer. Generally, apply 10 kg of urea and 5 kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate per mu.
4. Pest and disease control
Patrinia is originally a wild plant. It has extremely strong environmental adaptability and stress resistance, and also extremely strong resistance to pests and diseases, so pests and diseases rarely occur during growth. If pest or disease damage is found, conventional methods can be used for control.
