What crops are suitable for planting in low-lying areas?

Waterlogged land is quite common in rural areas. It refers to those fields with low terrain, high water content in the soil, and easy to be flooded. Crops planted here require good waterlogging resistance, otherwise it is difficult to grow well.

Crops suitable for planting in waterlogged areas include rice, reeds, wild rice stems, lotus roots, celery, water chestnuts, soybeans, corn, soybeans, spring wheat, willows, corn, and beets.

Rice

If the water source of the waterlogged land is sufficient and it is relatively flat, then it is most suitable for growing rice. This crop likes high temperature and high humidity, and the planting area also requires suitable temperature and sufficient light, which is more suitable for the growth of rice.

Water Chestnut

Water chestnuts can also be planted in waterlogged areas. They prefer warm and humid environments, but are not tolerant to deep water. The water level should be around 5-10 cm. During maintenance, pay attention to regular fertilization and manual weeding.

Lotus root

Lotus root likes warmth and humidity, and is a typical aquatic vegetable. It can also be planted in waterlogged areas, and water is indispensable during the entire growth period. It is also a light-loving plant, and has very high requirements for light.

Wild Rice

Gaogua is also called wild rice. When planting Gaogua in the south, you need to choose paddy fields with sufficient water, convenient drainage and irrigation, and shallow soil as the planting site. The fields can be plowed after the rice harvest (old wild rice fields can be plowed after the autumn wild rice harvest), then the fields are fully exposed to the sun, and the ridges are built to ensure that the fields can be filled with 15-20 cm of water.

Water spinach

Water spinach is suitable for planting in fertile paddy fields, fields with more water near livestock sheds, or fertile dry land. If it is planted in dry land, it can encourage the plant to produce more seeds.
