1. Site selection, land preparation and basal fertilizer application. The lotus field should be a clay loam plot with good water retention, good conditions for raising and lowering the water level, and high organic matter content. Along with plowing, apply 2000-3000 jin of organic fertilizer and 30 jin of compound fertilizer per mu. The plowing depth should not exceed 20 cm. Prepare the land so that the mud is soft, the field is level, and there is sufficient fertilizer. 2. Planting. Mid-to-late April each year is the best local planting period; protected cultivation in greenhouses can be advanced to early April. The seed rate per mu is 400-500 jin, with a plant spacing of 0.7*1.5 m. When planting, insert the seed lotus sprout tip diagonally into the soil to a depth of

The seed rate per mu is 400-500 jin, with a plant spacing of 0.7*1.5 m. When planting, insert the seed lotus sprout tip diagonally into the soil to a depth of 10-12 cm. The sprout tip should be parallel to the soil surface, and the rear rhizome node should be exposed 2-3 cm above the ground. The sprout tips of seed lotus planted around the field edges should face inward to prevent the lotus from growing out of the plot. Within the field, use staggered cross planting; the sprout tips should not all face the same direction, so as to make full use of the field space.
