The Latest Cultivation Techniques and Methods Tutorial for Silverweed Cinquefoil (Juemá)
Silverweed cinquefoil is also called ginseng fruit, but it is not the fruit we eat in daily life; it is a herbaceous plant, with different wild and cultivated areas in various provinces across our country. The main edible part of silverweed cinquefoil is the root, which is rich in starch and helps supplement human nutrition. It can also be processed into tannin extract and used as medicinal material. So how should silverweed cinquefoil be planted? Today the editor brings you the cultivation techniques for silverweed cinquefoil. Let's take a look below!
1. Land preparation and garden establishment
Before planting, you must first choose a good plot for planting silverweed cinquefoil. Silverweed cinquefoil is suitable for planting in soil with sufficient fertility, loose texture and strong permeability. Because silverweed cinquefoil is a herbaceous plant, land preparation must be done well before planting, with sufficient granular fertilizer applied, and the amount controlled well according to the planting area. Generally around 4500 kg/mu, then mixed with an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer. When planting, pay attention to the planting density; the planting holes should not be too deep, around 25 cm. When selecting seedlings, choose seedlings with strong growth, thick branches and no disease or pests; the temperature during transplanting should not be too high.
2. Topdressing and watering
Silverweed cinquefoil relatively prefers fertilizer and water, so during the growth process, fertilization and watering should be done well according to the growth conditions of silverweed cinquefoil. Also, throughout the entire growth period of silverweed cinquefoil, the number of topdressings must absolutely not be fewer than two: one during the seedling stage, and the other around the flowering stage. Each time you topdress, grasp the proportions of various nutrients well; do not over-apply or apply only a single fertilizer. When topdressing, pay attention to the concentration of the fertilizer. Avoid the fertilizer directly touching the root system of silverweed cinquefoil, which would cause the roots to burn and affect nutrient absorption and transport. After transplanting, water the settling water in time, and pay attention to the water requirement periods of silverweed cinquefoil. The time of greatest water demand is usually around Qingming and National Day.
3. Daily management
After successful transplanting, regularly observe the growth of silverweed cinquefoil. If harmful branches such as leggy branches and diseased branches are found, prune them in time. This is because such branches not only cannot retain fruit, but also consume a large amount of nutrients, causing a certain impact on the fruit-setting rate and the growth of the plant. Also pay attention to the amount of fruit set on the plant; do not think that the more fruit set, the greater the yield. In fact, the bearing capacity of the silverweed cinquefoil plant is limited. When too much fruit is set, nutrient supply is uneven, which hinders fruit expansion and affects quality; moreover, if the plant exceeds its load, it may even lead to plant death.
4. Disease control
Disease control work for silverweed cinquefoil must be emphasized throughout the entire period from transplanting to harvest, because diseases harm the leaves, fruit, roots and flowers of silverweed cinquefoil. This seriously hinders the growth of silverweed cinquefoil and causes a sharp drop in yield. Disease control mainly means doing preventive measures well, strengthening field management, and promptly removing fallen flowers, fallen leaves and various diseased and disabled branches. Disinfect regularly to reduce pathogens in the silverweed cinquefoil garden and lower the disease incidence. When plants become diseased, handle it calmly, do a good job of inspection, determine the specific disease before applying the right treatment, and try to minimize losses.
