How to grow water spinach for high yield? Planting methods and precautions

Water spinach is currently one of the more widely eaten vegetables, and because of its strong adaptability it is grown extensively. Some city suburbs even grow it directly for sale. Many people find that the final product they grow is not ideal, and this is mostly caused by not paying attention to management in ordinary times. Today Qinnongwang will explain to everyone how to increase the yield.

1. Planting methods

Water spinach is generally sown around April. Many people think that fertilizing the soil before sowing is enough, but this is not the case. Before planting, the soil must be tilled twice, and both times it must be deeply tilled and sprinkled with sufficient fertilizer water. This is called nourishing the soil, because water spinach likes an environment rich in fertilizer and water, and this can satisfy its nutritional needs to the greatest extent. Whether transplanting or cuttings, do not plant too deep; about 4 cm into the soil is best for water spinach to take root and develop. Because it grows quickly, fertilizer must keep up, and generally it is best to use nitrogen fertilizer.

2. Field management

Since water spinach is a multi-harvest vegetable, it grows rapidly, and only sufficient light and abundant fertilizer and water can guarantee its growth. Generally, after planting, apply a top dressing once, and the amount should be small. After three weeks, during the growth period, apply another top dressing, with a somewhat larger amount, so as to ensure good growth. After each harvest, the soil can be properly loosened, which is called nourishing the roots; of course, fertilizer cannot be lacking. If conditions allow, supplementing with biological fertilizer is even better.

3. Precautions

Because of its fertilizing characteristics, water spinach is destined to grow weeds relatively quickly, so attention must be paid to removing them. Second, if the water spinach in an area is not growing well, then some should be removed, because it is too dense. Leaves found to be rotting or turning yellow should be taken away promptly and not left in the field, as this makes infection easy. After pests are found, try to remove the entire plant, as pests and diseases are too infectious.

The above are some methods for increasing yield. Everyone should not fail to value management just because water spinach has strong vitality. I hope these can clearly increase everyone's yield, and if they are effective, you can follow Qinnongwang!
