Introduction to Mustard Varieties and Detailed Seedling Cultivation Methods

Most rural friends grow all sorts of vegetables at home, so they don't have to go to the market often to buy vegetables. I wonder if everyone likes eating mustard greens - they are quite delicious when stir-fried with cured meat. So what varieties of mustard greens are there? How do you carry out seedling cultivation? Below, the editor will explain in detail for everyone!

1. What varieties of mustard greens are there?

1. Snow mustard (potherb mustard)

Also called snow vegetable, its basal leaves are oblanceolate, and also round oblanceolate, and it also has irregular serrated or double-serrated edges; the upper and top parts are relatively small, the appearance is round and rather wrinkled. It is cultivated in all provinces north and south of China, and it is often salted and eaten as a vegetable.

2. Zhacai (Sichuan preserved mustard tuber)

The base is relatively large and can form an uneven weight; the basal leaves are round, its plant grows 40~80 cm long, and it is flat and relatively medium in speed. It is cultivated in all provinces and counties of Sichuan, especially the famous Fuling zhacai, and it is also cultivated in the provinces of Yunnan. However, there are many varieties of zhacai, but they each have their own names because their forms differ.

3. Kohlrabi (turnip-rooted mustard)

Kohlrabi is also a variety of mustard. The root tuber of kohlrabi is relatively thick and firm, round in shape, its top is narrowed, and then the outer root and root flesh are both yellow-brown, with many small fibrous roots growing below. Its basal leaves and lower stem leaves are similar in shape to round and about 20~30 cm long. It is mainly cultivated in Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu and Yunnan and other provinces and regions, mainly for feed use.

4. Oil mustard

Mustard originated in Asia, and it is cultivated in all provinces and regions of China, and its seeds can be pressed for oil, and can also be used for eating, can be used as a seasoning, and can also be used as medicine.

5. Multi-lobed mustard

It is mainly cultivated in the Shanghai and Guangzhou areas, and can be stir-fried as a vegetable, and it has a slightly spicy taste. The sixth type is large-leaf mustard, whose basal leaves and stem leaves are relatively large; according to literature records, it is cultivated in China. The seventh type belongs to wrinkled-leaf mustard, mainly cultivated in Guangdong.

2. How are mustard greens cultivated from seedlings?

1. Sow at the right time

The sowing time of mustard has a great influence on the quality of the mustard. Before sowing, we must first carry out deep plowing and intertillage of the soil. Then select good-quality seeds and sow them in a suitable time period. Apply enough base fertilizer to improve the soil fertility. Control the sowing density well and sow at the right time. After sowing, pay attention to watering enough, then appropriately spray the soil with agents such as Xinguozhimo (new high-fat film). Improve the soil's moisture-holding capacity, reduce water evaporation, prevent the soil from hardening, and lower permeability, which would cause the mustard roots to be unable to breathe and affect the emergence of mustard seedlings.

2. Cultivate strong seedlings

Cultivating seedlings is a key measure to ensure the healthy growth of mustard, increase yield and enhance quality. When the seedlings grow their first leaf, the thinning work should be done well. When thinning, remove the seedlings that grow fast, have thick and fat leaves, are tall, and have pests and diseases. Prevent excessive growth from affecting the nutrient absorption of normal seedlings. And you can also appropriately spray some Xinguozhimo on the surface of the seedlings to improve the disease resistance of the seedlings and enhance their ability to resist natural disasters. Promote photosynthesis in the leaves, increase the accumulation of photosynthetic substances, promote seedling growth, and ensure their healthy growth.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Water and fertilizer management also has a great relationship with the growth of mustard. We should water reasonably according to the soil moisture and weather and other aspects to keep the soil moist. Mustard has a very large demand for nutrients during growth. In addition to applying enough base fertilizer before planting, water and fertilizer work must also be done well during the planting process. In the early stage of growth, apply lightly as appropriate; in the middle stage, increase the fertilizer nutrients; in the later stage, apply supplementary fertilizer according to the plant's growth. And we must also do a good job in pest and disease prevention and control, avoid pests and diseases harming the growth of mustard, and improve the conversion and utilization rate of fertilizer.

4. Growth period management

The growth process of the seedlings is very important. We must prevent the mustard from developing adverse phenomena such as smaller leaves and hollowing due to too-fast growth. Appropriately spray agents such as Zhuangdiling to promote the thickening of the underground nutrient transport vessels, improve the vitality of the underground fruit. Promote the expansion of the fleshy stem, and make the leaves shiny and bright. Only in this way can we ensure the robust growth of the seedlings, improve the quality of the seedlings, enhance the growth ability of the mustard, and protect our own planting economic benefits.

From the above, we can know that there are still quite a lot of varieties of mustard. I wonder which one everyone prefers to eat? Now is exactly the season for preparing to plant mustard, and everyone can refer to some of the seedling cultivation methods above.
