What are the seedling cultivation methods?

1. Site selection and land preparation

Dwarf lilyturf grass is suitable for planting in loose, fertile soil with good drainage. Before sowing, the land must be prepared well, the soil deeply plowed, the earth broken up fine and leveled, and sufficient base fertilizer applied. Then high-quality seeds that are plump and intact should be selected for sowing.

2. Sowing method

Dwarf lilyturf seeds do not store well, and seeds kept until the next year lose their germination capacity. The seeds have a low-temperature dormancy characteristic. For sexual reproduction, the seeds should be sown immediately after collection, or stored in damp sand and buried outdoors in a cool cellar, then taken out and sown in February to March of the following year. In dwarf lilyturf production, division propagation is mainly used, and seed propagation is rarely used.

3. Seedlings and seedling care

Dwarf lilyturf seedlings are best planted as soon as they are dug. If labor is short and planting cannot be finished the same day, then the seedlings need to be "kept." The method of keeping seedlings is to tie the sorted seedlings into small bundles, soak them in water briefly so they absorb enough water, then stand them upright in a cool, damp place with the stem base touching the ground, bank moist soil around them, and sprinkle water once a day or every other day to prevent drying out or heating that would scorch the seedlings. Seedlings must not be kept for more than 7 days.

4. Seedling-stage management

(1) Watering to keep seedlings alive: Water thoroughly immediately after planting so that the soil and the base of the seedlings are fully in contact, which helps them root early and survive. Water once more after several days; generally they can turn green again in 15 days. After that, water in good time according to the soil moisture.

(2) Intertillage and weeding: Dwarf lilyturf is a fibrous-rooted plant and needs loose soil, so compaction must be strictly prevented. From planting to digging, the soil should be loosened and weeds removed in good time after watering or rain.

(3) Topdressing: Dwarf lilyturf has a long growth period and a high fertilizer requirement. In addition to applying heavy base fertilizer, topdressing should also be applied skillfully. To reduce nutrient consumption, when flower stalks appear in July to August, they should also be removed in good time.

Dwarf lilyturf is considered best when the tuberous roots are plump, cleanly trimmed at both ends, soft and flexible in texture, and sticky when chewed. Generally, after successful planting, major growing areas such as Sichuan can harvest in March to April of the second year after planting. If you want dwarf lilyturf to achieve high yields, you must pay attention to seedling cultivation techniques and seedling-stage management.
