How to grow Amomum villosum? The latest planting techniques and methods tutorial

Amomum villosum is a herbaceous plant whose fruit can be used as medicine; during its growing period it also has a good greening effect, and it is also a subtropical plant that loves heat and humidity. In the Guangdong and Guangxi regions of China, it is cultivated artificially. Today, Qinnong Web will let everyone learn about what points need attention when cultivating Amomum villosum.

1. Site selection

There are particular requirements for where Amomum villosum is planted. The selected site should have high humidity and high temperature, but direct sunlight must also be avoided, and the area should be somewhat open. The soil fertility should be high, with a notable capacity to hold fertilizer, so that applied fertilizer can be retained; therefore, if the soil has a certain stickiness, that is best. Try not to choose low-lying areas, as these are prone to severe water accumulation, which harms the plants.

2. Sowing

Before sowing, the seeds should first be prepared, sun-dried twice, and then soaked in water. The soaking water should not be very cold. Generally, about three days is enough for the seeds to absorb sufficient water; any longer and they may be damaged. For convenient drainage and irrigation, it is recommended to arrange the land into strips. Before planting in the soil, the land must be fertilized, preferably with a mix of farmyard manure and chemical fertilizer, applied to each plant. The fertilizer amount is about one ton per mu.

3. Setting out

When setting out, the timing is very important. Generally, around May is more suitable, as at this time both temperature and humidity are relatively suitable for moving the seedlings. When transplanting seedlings, it is best to keep a little soil on the roots for warmth retention, or the roots can be artificially coated with muddy water for warmth retention. The planting holes should be about 30 cm deep, with a density controlled at 800-1200 plants per mu. If the weather is relatively cold, weeds are also needed to cover the seedlings to protect them from the cold.

4. Fertilizer and water

Amomum villosum has relatively high requirements for fertilizer and water. The core point of fertilizing is many times and small amounts. During the seedling stage, it does not need to be too frequent, otherwise it is easy to overdo it. Fertilization can be based on the degree of leaf growth: apply fertilizer once every three leaves grown. Once it starts to have 10 leaves, it needs to be stable at once every 20 days. For Amomum villosum, the fertilizer in the early stage should preferably be organic fertilizer, and in the later stage more nitrogen fertilizer can be added. Each fertilization should be accompanied by watering.

5. Management

During the flowering period of Amomum villosum, it is not recommended to remove weeds, so normal weeding should be done only before and after flowering. In addition, because the roots of Amomum villosum grow relatively shallowly and mostly show a net-like distribution, a hoe is not recommended for daily weeding. Small weeds are best pulled out, while larger grasses can be cut off to damage their roots. Some dead and damaged leftover plants should be cleaned up in time to avoid the spread of disease.

The above are some points needing attention and general aspects of Amomum villosum planting. At present, the profit from Amomum villosum planting is still relatively considerable, but the planting site will have certain selectivity. Wherever the winter temperature is below zero, planting is not recommended, because the returns will be somewhat unfavorable.
