How to grow Patrinia scabiosaefolia? Detailed explanation of key cultivation techniques
Patrinia scabiosaefolia, also known as Thlaspi arvense and field pennycress, often grows on hillside grasslands and roadsides, and is distributed throughout the country. It has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, removing blood stasis and expelling pus. So how should Patrinia scabiosaefolia be cultivated? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction together.
1. Land preparation and fertilization
Patrinia scabiosaefolia has low requirements for soil, and ordinary soil can be used for planting, but it is not suitable for planting in saline-alkali land or waterlogged land. Choose a suitable field and carry out careful cultivation. Apply base fertilizer during cultivation, mainly organic fertilizer, with about 3000 kg of decomposed organic fertilizer, 20 kg of urea, and 50 kg of phosphate and potassium fertilizer per mu. Spread it evenly on the soil, rake it fine and level it, then make raised beds and wait for sowing.
2. Sowing
Patrinia scabiosaefolia is generally propagated by seeds. The sowing period can be divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing. Spring sowing is around Qingming Festival. When sowing, open furrows on the bed surface at a row spacing of 30 cm, then evenly scatter the seeds into the furrows, cover with soil, water, and preserve soil moisture to promote seedling emergence. Autumn sowing can be done before Frost's Descent in winter, using the same method as spring sowing. Both spring sowing and autumn sowing use about 1 kg of seeds per mu.
3. Field management
After the seedlings emerge and the stand is complete, thin the seedlings in combination with cultivating and weeding. When thinning, remove weak and diseased seedlings and keep strong-growing seedlings. In addition, fertilizer and water management for the seedlings is also extremely important, as it affects the plant's growth. Water timely during drought, and drain promptly after cloudy and rainy weather to avoid soil water accumulation causing poor root growth, or causing root rot and seedling death. Apply topdressing once before the plants close the rows, mainly with quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer, generally applying 10 kg of urea and 5 kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate per mu.
4. Pest and disease control
Patrinia scabiosaefolia is originally a wild plant. It has extremely strong environmental adaptability and stress resistance, and also extremely strong resistance to pests and diseases, so pests and diseases rarely occur during growth. If pest or disease damage is found, control can be carried out according to conventional methods.
