Detailed Explanation of Guanyin Vegetable Planting Techniques and Management Methods
Guanyin vegetable can also be called red-backed vegetable or stone chives. When it first enters the mouth, it has a chive flavor, then successively a taste of garlic, scallion, slight bitterness, and sweetness. It is said to have the effect of clearing dampness and dispelling stagnation. So how is Guanyin vegetable planted? Let us learn about it together.
1. Land preparation and fertilization
Guanyin vegetable has strong stress resistance, tolerates poor soil, is extremely easy to cultivate, and has relatively few pests and diseases. It can be cultivated all year round, but this vegetable is mainly supplied to supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants, so the requirements for the product are relatively high, and the requirements for the growing environment are also relatively high. It is required to choose a place with fresh air, pure water quality, uncontaminated soil, and good ecological conditions. Soil with high organic matter content and strong water and fertilizer retention is conducive to a high yield and good harvest. The growing period of Guanyin vegetable is relatively poor, so sufficient base fertilizer must be applied before transplanting. Generally, 1500-2000 kg of organic fertilizer is applied, then the land is plowed, prepared, and made into beds.
2. Cutting propagation
The nodes of Guanyin vegetable easily produce adventitious roots, so cutting propagation is usually mostly used. Spring and autumn are suitable for rooting. Within 3-7 days after cutting, cover with a shade net during the day, which helps retain moisture, promote rooting, and allow early survival. Usually water less but frequently, and spray carbendazim once every 3-5 days, preferably at a concentration of 600 times. Generally, after 20 days they can root and be transplanted.
3. Field planting
When Guanyin vegetable has been cut for more than 20 days and new roots have grown to about 10 cm, it can be transplanted. Before transplanting, be sure to water thoroughly, then transplant with soil. When planting, plant 4 rows per bed, with a row spacing of 40 cm and a plant spacing of 35 cm, and plant 3000-3200 plants per mu. After planting, combine with 600-times carbendazim as the root-setting water, then cover with soil.
4. Field management
After field planting, water once in time to promote seedling recovery, and water once more after seedling recovery. When the fleshy root grows to about 1 cm thick, water in time and often maintain soil moisture. Topdress once 15-20 days after field planting, applying 15-20 kg of compound fertilizer per mu. Weed frequently. After seedling recovery, spray a low-concentration borax solution on the leaves once every 7-10 days, with 50-75 kg sprayed per mu each time. When cultivating in the open field in winter, use plastic film mulching or arched shed film cultivation, which can allow earlier harvest and marketing. In summer, pay attention to rain protection and avoiding exposure to the sun.
