How much is the yield of mustard per mu? What is the normal profit of planting one mu of shepherd's purse?

Yield of mustard per mu

Mustard is harvested in batches. Shepherd's purse is sown in autumn and harvested when there are 10-13 leaves. It is harvested one month after sowing, and then it can be harvested four to five times respectively, by the end of late March of the second year. The total yield per mu is 2,500 to 3,000 kilograms. Shepherd's purse sown in late February is generally harvested 1-2 times in early April, with a yield of about 1,000 kilograms per mu.

Mustard Planting Prospects

Planting cost: The mustard yield is about 1,000 kilograms per mu. Excluding the planting cost, the profit per mu is about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. The first season of mustard is from July to October each year, with an average profit of about 1,500 yuan per mu. The second season of mustard is from October to March of the following year, with an average profit of about 1,000 yuan per mu.

Planting prospects: Mustard is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, as well as potassium and folic acid. After cooking, as the water content decreases, the content of vitamin A and vitamin C will increase. Under normal management, it rarely suffers from diseases and insect pests. It is a good choice for green and organic vegetables. China's mustard exports are very large. Whether it is used to make mustard or pickled vegetables, the demand in China is relatively large, so the prospects for planting mustard are very good.

How to grow mustard to get high yield

1. Nutrient soil: Nutrient soil should be prepared one month before sowing. Fermented pond mud and decomposed pig manure should be prepared in advance, and triple compound fertilizer should be applied at the same time. Then the mud surface needs to be sprayed with disinfectant and sealed with a film for later use.

2. Cultivate strong seedlings: Cultivating strong seedlings is the key to high-quality vegetables. When the seedlings grow the first leaf, thinning should be done properly. Appropriately spray some new lipid film on the surface of the seedlings to improve the seedlings' disease resistance and enhance their ability to resist natural disasters.

3. Planting technology: Choose sandy loam that was previously used as rice and apply sufficient basal fertilizer. The spacing should be 40 to 50 cm. The suitable time for transplanting is when the mustard has 4 to 6 leaves. It is best to plant all of them before the autumn rice is harvested. This will not affect farm work and it is also the best time for mustard growth.

4. Timely harvest: Generally, the best harvest period for mustard is about 80 days after planting, when the leaves turn slightly yellow, the bulbs grow fully and do not burst, and there is no flowering. Harvesting too early will affect the yield, and harvesting too late will affect the quality.
