Its tubers are used as medicine to break blood stasis and promote qi flow, reduce accumulation, and relieve pain. It is a key medicine for invigorating blood and dissolving stasis, and is widely used clinically for gynecological inflammation, cancer, and other conditions. So how should it be planted? Let's take a look together.
1. Growth Habits
Scirpus yagara is an aquatic plant that prefers a humid climate. It has strong cold tolerance, is not afraid of heat, and has strong adaptability. When planting, choose a pond, ditch, or streamside with sufficient water sources and good drainage and irrigation. It is best to use loose, fertile sandy loam rich in humus.
2. Propagation Methods
The planting of Scirpus yagara is mainly based on asexual propagation. Make a seedbed about 25-40 cm deep according to the terrain. At harvest time, use the large rhizomes for medicinal purposes, keep the small rhizomes as seed, and broadcast or drill them in the seedbed. Water thoroughly, cover with moist soil and barnyard manure to overwinter. In the spring of the following year, irrigate to maintain a water depth of 15-20 cm, and apply topdressing in time to promote seedling growth. Once the seedlings grow to more than 20 cm, they can be transplanted.
3. Transplanting
Before transplanting, prepare the plot and apply base fertilizer. The base fertilizer should be mainly organic fertilizer, supplemented with inorganic fertilizer. According to the soil fertility status, apply 2000-3000 kg of decomposed organic fertilizer per mu, then shape and rake level. Before lifting the seedlings, irrigate the seedbed, then pull out the seedlings and plant them as they are pulled. When planting, control the plant spacing at 15-30 cm and the row spacing at 25-30 cm. If the soil fertility is relatively high, the plant and row spacing can be appropriately increased. After planting, irrigate to 6-8 cm.
4. Field Management
After transplanting, control the water level according to the height of the seedlings. Within two months of planting, a sufficient water supply must be provided. After that, it can be intermittent to allow sunning the field to raise the low temperature and promote growth, but the water level should mainly not submerge the tops, so as to avoid causing seedling death. After the seedlings turn green, apply 50 kg of cake fertilizer and 10 kg of urea per mu as topdressing. When fertilizing, drain water in time and leave shallow water for broadcasting. After 2-3 months, apply topdressing once more according to the growth situation. In addition, weed control must be done well, pulling out weeds whenever they appear.
