How to Grow Crown Daisy to Increase Yield? Practical Growing Tips Shared
Crown daisy, also known as haozi stalk, chrysanthemum greens and so on, is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family. Crown daisy has very high economic value, with various effects and functions such as aiding digestion and stimulating the appetite, purifying the blood and nourishing the heart. Therefore, the planting area of crown daisy in our country is now very large, but when growing crown daisy, yield is a problem that needs to be solved. So how can the yield of crown daisy be increased? Let's take a look together with the editor below!
1. Temperature control
Crown daisy likes to grow in a cool and humid environment, has strong cold tolerance, and cannot grow normally in a high-temperature environment. During its growth process, the suitable temperature is around 18-19°C. If it exceeds 28°C, crown daisy will grow poorly and yield will decline. Therefore, excessively high temperature is generally the main cause of crown daisy planting failure. So if you want to increase crown daisy yield, temperature control is very important, and you must ensure the temperature is within the suitable growth range for crown daisy. When the temperature is too high, pay attention to shading and cooling, and do not water when the soil temperature is high, to prevent burning the crown daisy roots.
2. Prevent lodging
When growing crown daisy, if management is improper, for example if planting is too dense, the day-night temperature difference is small, and watering and fertilizing are excessive, it is very easy for crown daisy to develop excessive growth and lodging. After crown daisy plants lodge, not only will yield decline, but the permeability of the lower part of the plant will also become poor, easily causing leaf rot, which will also reduce the commercial value of crown daisy. So we must pay attention to doing good management work, avoid lodging in crown daisy, and control fertilizer and water amounts as well as planting density. You can thin the seedlings at the time of the second watering, controlling the spacing between crown daisy plants at about 3cm.
3. Reduce humidity
Humidity also has a very large impact on crown daisy yield. During the growth process of crown daisy, if field humidity is too high and soil water content is high, then it is easy for crown daisy roots to be rotted by water, causing plant death, and therefore also causing a serious decline in crown daisy yield. So we must not only control the amount of watering well, but also pay attention to doing good rain-shelter measures during the rainy season. If the soil water content is too much, then drain it in time to prevent waterlogging damage.
4. Leaf protection
Leaves are the key factor determining the commercial value of crown daisy, and are also the standard for judging its yield. Therefore, if you want to increase yield, then first of all you must pay attention to protecting the leaves. To protect the leaves, the prevention and control of pests and diseases is certainly indispensable, for example late blight, downy mildew and so on will all affect crown daisy leaves. Therefore everyone must pay much attention, focus on prevention, strengthen management, and after disease occurs, check exactly what disease it is, then treat it according to the symptoms.
The above is a brief introduction to how to increase crown daisy yield. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
