How much is a jin of perennial aquatic reed seeds? Planting techniques and profit prospects

Reed is also called wei, lu, lu sun, and jianjia. It is a tall grass that is perennial aquatic or hygrophytic. Reed leaves, reed flowers, reed stems, reed roots, and reed shoots can all be used as medicine. So how much is a jin of reed seeds? What are the economic benefits and prospects of planting? What are the planting techniques? Learned from a Changsha seed company that reed seeds cost more than one yuan, and the price varies depending on quality, variety, and other differences.

What are the economic benefits and prospects of reed planting?

1. Reed is a high-quality variety for treating water pollution, and it is also an important component in the creation of waterscape ornamental plants. Its color is emerald green and it is large and full of vitality, with high ornamental value. Reed is also called wei, lu, lu sun, jianjia, and so on, and belongs to perennial herbaceous plants. The flower bud width is 3.5~5.5 cm, the plant height is 145~375 cm, and the flowering time is the 15th to the 25th, with slight differences in flowering conditions from place to place. Reed has a good emergence rate and a wide planting range. It is an excellent variety for tourist attractions and for building landscape flower seas. It is used in many places across the motherland, and is also often found in fields.

2. Reed differs from other plants in that one planting brings results for many years. Apart from the relatively large capital and labor input in the first year, from the second year onward only the inputs for reed field irrigation, fertilization, pest and disease control, field management, and reed harvesting are needed.

3. Reed wetland is a transitional type between terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems, and is a semi-aquatic, semi-terrestrial transitional plant. The ecological conditions of reed wetlands vary greatly, and the edge effect is significant, thus providing diverse living environments for a large number of organisms. Therefore, the species and populations in the reed wetland ecosystem are very rich and diverse.

Reed wetlands can serve as a direct water source or recharge groundwater, effectively control floods, and prevent secondary soil salinization. They retain sediments, harmful and toxic substances, and nutrients. They effectively degrade environmental pollution and store carbon in the form of organic matter, thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. Reed wetlands are also ideal places for the reproduction of many animals and plants. For this reason, while having high biological productivity, reed wetlands also provide humans with abundant food, raw materials, and tourist sites.

What are the reed planting techniques?

1. What kind of environment is suitable for reed

Soil quality directly determines the quality of reed seedling growth. If the soil is very good and the growing environment is very good, then staff management will be much easier. Reed has few soil requirements, but sandy gravel soil, loess, and slag soil are acceptable, while soil with a lot of sand generally has average sprouting. Reed is afraid of waterlogging, so it needs higher terrain that drains easily. When water increases in summer, accumulated water must be able to drain away immediately, otherwise some seedlings may die. The nursery is mainly for facilitating drainage; average soil is enough, and sunlight should be sufficient.

2. Land preparation

1. Plowing: Reed is quite sensitive to nutrients. When the soil is nutrient-rich, the flowers are very large and beautiful, and the plants are healthy. However, the soil in most landscaping sites is basically nursery soil with average nutrients. For this reason, if you want beautiful flowers, you still need to spread sufficient farmyard manure before sowing, applying 4~7.5T of cow dung and pig manure per mu. After spreading the fertilizer, plow deeply once and harrow once. Only in this way can the soil and fertilizer be mixed evenly, with no large clods, making sowing easier and improving the germination rate.

2. Making beds: In order to simplify the maintenance measures needed during the one-year growth period of reed seedlings, such as irrigation, weed clearing, and fertilization, Changjing Landscape suggests that everyone make the land into standard 1.6 m wide beds, with a total length of 16~25 m, and the actual situation determined according to the terrain.

3. How to plant reed

Reed seeds are generally medium in size and have a relatively good germination rate. Very shallow sowing is recommended, with soil coverage not exceeding 5 cm. Most are planted by broadcasting. Choose breezy weather, mix reed seeds into wet sand, and spread them evenly on the ground. After planting, soil can be covered manually or by mechanical raking. After covering with soil, irrigate once, and after about 7~11 days the germination rate can be improved.

4. How to care for reed

The workload of managing reed during the growth period is very small. It has few pests and diseases and strong growth. The main tasks are all concentrated in the flowering period. Before flowering, apply 30 kg of chemical fertilizer per mu. Fertilizing before the flowering period is to make flowering last longer, produce more flowers, and make the flower color more attractive. After flowering, there is no need to fertilize. During the reed flowering period, sufficient water is needed. At this time, the number and timing of watering should be determined according to weather conditions.
