Elva, a well-nourished and tasted green vegetable, is very popular with family growers. Not only is it easy to grow, but it is short-lived and high-yielding and is an ideal option in family gardens. We will now give details of the method and time of planting large leaves and will help you to grow delicious leaves and ears in your home。
Timing of cultivation
The large leaves eardrum prefers a warm and wet climate and is therefore suitable for planting in spring and autumn. In particular, the timing of planting in the spring is usually between march and april, when temperatures are gradually rising, facilitating the growth of seeds and seedlings. In the autumn, august-september was another ideal planting time, when the temperature was moderate and the rainfall was abundant, providing a good environment for the growth of large leaves and eardrums. It is worth noting that in the northern region, low winter temperatures make it inappropriate to directly field large leaves of eardrum, but the option is to grow in greenhouses or sheds to extend the planting season。
Seed treatment
The seed shell of the large leaves eardrum is hard and needs to be treated earlier in order to increase the gestation rate. A common method is to soak the seeds in hot water for about 24 hours, during which time they can be properly mixed to ensure adequate water intake. After leaching, drying is prepared to sow. Another approach is to use wet gauze for seed sprouts, to wrap the seeds in wet gauze, to place them in warmer areas (25-30°c), to keep the gauze wet and to replace the damp cloth on a regular basis in order to prevent the seeds from reeking. Seeding can be done once the seeds are white。
Iii. Cultivation
The selection of fertile and well-drained soils for seeding is key to success. The soil is ploughed deep, weeds and stones removed, and an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer is applied as base fertilizer to provide adequate nutrients. When seeding takes place, the treated seeds are spread evenly over the soil surface and then cover a thin layer of soil lightly to avoid direct exposure to sunlight. After seeding, water is carefully watered with a canteen or a thin tap to keep the soil wet, but to avoid excessive watering in order to avoid the deterioration of seeds. At appropriate temperatures and humidity, seeds can germinate for about seven days。
When a seedling is released, it should be placed in a well-lighted place, such as a balcony or window stand, to promote light co-operation and seedling growth. At the same time, care is taken to keep room temperature between 15 and 25 degrees celsius, which is the best temperature range for the growth of large leaves and molluscs. When the seedling grows to 2-3 leafs, inter-sapling operations should be undertaken to remove the seedlings and the seedlings and to preserve the strong seedlings in order to promote their better growth。
Iv. Mobilization
When a seedling grows to 5-6 leafs, it can be replanted. Select clear weather for planting in order to reduce harm to seedlings. Prior to planting, the soil should be humid in advance, helping to protect the roots of seedlings. At the time of planting, the seedlings are planted in pre-prepared plots, with suitable range of 20-30 cm. Upon planting, water is poured out to encourage the seedlings to take root。
V. Field management
1. Fertilizer management
Sufficient moisture and nutrients are required during the growth of the large leaves. In the early stages of growth, water is poured every 7 to 10 days to keep the soil wet. Upon entering the boom, water should be watered more frequently and every 3-5 days. At the same time, fattening is timely based on plant growth, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by potassium phosphorus fertilizer. When the plant is grown to a certain height, it can be gravitated to promote the growth of side branches and increase production。
2. Pest management
During the growth of the large leaves, mussels are vulnerable to pests and diseases. Common diseases include anthrax, frost, etc., which can be combated by spraying microbicides. The common pests are aphids, larvae, etc., which can be combated through insecticide spraying. In combating it, care should be taken to select low-toxic, efficient and environmentally sound pesticides and to avoid harm to the environment and humans。
3. Weeding pine soil
Weed pine soil is to be removed in a timely manner during growth, and the soil is to be defusing and ventilated, facilitating the breathing and nutrient absorption of the roots. Weeding should be done in such a way as to avoid damage to the roots of the plant so as not to affect its growth。
Collection and storage
The pick-up period for large leaves is longer, typically 40 to 50 days from seeding to harvesting. When harvests take place, fat and fresh leaves should be selected for harvesting. The harvested large leaves may be stored in a cold ventilated place, or the storage time may be extended by freezing or freezing。
Other planting techniques
In addition to the above-mentioned basic planting steps, there are additional planting techniques that can help you to better grow large leaves. For example, reproduction can be done by admixture. After the large leaves of the market have been picked, they are left in the stem, buried in the soil, and the soil is humid, and in about 10 to 12 days a new sprouts will emerge. This approach is not only simple and simple, but also has the potential to rapidly scale up cultivation。
In addition, large leaves, eardrums, which are less demanding for soil, are more conducive to their growth than fertile, easily drained soil. Thus, during planting, organic fertilizers can be added in appropriate quantities to improve soil structure and soil fertility。
As mentioned above, the cultivation of large leaves is not complex, and mastery of planting time and methods, as well as field management techniques, enables the successful planting of delicious large leaves and ears at home. It is hoped that the above information will help you to start the trip to grow the great leaves and ears and enjoy the whole process from planting to harvesting. In the process of planting, it would be useful to record every water pouring, fertilization, deworming and harvesting moment, not only as a record of agricultural activity, but also as a testimony to natural life。
With the change of season, the great leaves of eardrum not only add fresh and delicious food to your table, but also become a beautiful landscape in the home garden. And when you take that green leaf and cook it into a fragrance, there will be no match for satisfaction。
In addition, the large nutritional value of large leaves, rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fibres, has a positive effect on digestion and increased immunity. While enjoying good food, the health of the family is protected。
Finally, the planting of large leaves is not just an agricultural activity, but a way to return to nature and to a close life. In a busy modern life, it would be useful to take time to look after a small garden of their own, to feel the gift from the land and enjoy the simple and pure joy. It is believed that in the near future your great leaves will flourish and add more colour and tenderness to your family life。
