Cultivation Methods and Key Technical Points for Golden Flower Cauliflower
Golden Flower Cauliflower, also known as alfalfa, is a legume plant that was originally a wild vegetable seen everywhere in our country. As people's pursuit of wild flavors grows, the demand for Golden Flower Cauliflower has gradually increased. It has also slowly become a basic vegetable in our gardens; the greater the market demand, the larger the planting area becomes. Many friends want to grow it but don't know how. Today, the editor brings you the cultivation methods for Golden Flower Cauliflower. Let's take a look!
1. Site Selection and Land Preparation
Golden Flower Cauliflower has strong adaptability and can survive and grow in various soils, but loose, deep soil is more suitable for its growth, and the soil pH should be controlled at around 6. Try to choose plots with convenient transportation, good drainage and irrigation, and few weeds. Prepare the land in time before sowing, and bury the grass seeds in the soil deep to prevent them from growing again. However, you can let some seeds germinate and break through the soil first to improve the soil moisture. When there are too many weeds, eliminate them first before sowing, and remove underground grass stems through deep plowing and shallow tillage to reduce weed damage. After preparing the land, apply fully decomposed farmyard manure as base fertilizer into the soil to improve soil fertility.
2. Seed Selection and Soaking
To ensure uniform seedling emergence after sowing, we must also select good seeds before sowing, removing shriveled and bad seeds. You can put all the seeds into warm water, then scoop out the floating seeds on the surface. After selecting the seeds, to improve the germination rate, carry out soaking and sprouting appropriately. Put the selected seeds in a water-permeable bag, then soak them in cool water for about 10 hours. Then take all the seeds out and place them in a cool place for about 2-3 days. During this process, water them once every 3 hours, and then sow.
3. Fertilizer and Water Management
Because Golden Flower Cauliflower needs a relatively large amount of water for germination, after sowing it needs to be watered twice a day to keep the soil moist. Especially in early summer and late summer, water cannot be cut off. Under normal management, seedlings emerge about 5 days after sowing. After emergence, watering can be reduced to once a day, and stopped after about a week. When there is too much water accumulated in the field, pay attention to drainage to prevent waterlogging damage. When the seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, fertilize in time, and then fertilize in time according to the growth of the seedlings. In the later period, fertilize once after each harvest, but it should be applied the next day after harvest; applying immediately tends to cause the plants to rot.
4. Timely Harvesting
The harvesting method for Golden Flower Cauliflower is generally mainly cutting. When cutting, pay attention to neatness; the stubble should not be too long, but it should be neat. If it is not kept low and neat, later cultivation management and harvesting will be greatly restricted, leading to reduced yield. There is no specific time for harvesting Golden Flower Cauliflower; it mainly depends on the sowing time. For example, when sown in early autumn, it can be harvested in about a month, and can be harvested continuously 4 times. Therefore, when harvesting, everyone should first base it on the growth time of Golden Flower Cauliflower, and second pay attention to your own sowing time, and harvest in a timely manner.
The above is the editor's brief introduction to the cultivation methods for Golden Flower Cauliflower. Although the growth period of Golden Flower Cauliflower is relatively short, there is still a chance of pests and diseases. Therefore, everyone also needs to pay attention to pest and disease prevention and control to avoid harming the growth of Golden Flower Cauliflower and reducing yield.
