The market price of lotus horns in different regions is also different. The current market price ranges from 3 to 7 yuan per catty. Based on an output of 2,000 catties, the profit per mu of land can be around 5,000 yuan after deducting costs.

The lotus horn plant is more suitable for planting in rural areas with more ponds. At present, many of its functions have not been developed, and the country still provides certain support for it, so the prospects for planting it are very broad.

High-yield planting technology of lotus horn

1. Lingtang selection

Lotus horns are generally planted in low-lying, fertile soil with a water depth of about 0.3 meters. The soil should have a gentle rise and fall and rich organic matter content.

2. Apply enough basal fertilizer

Lotus horns require a relatively large amount of fertilizer. Before planting, an appropriate amount of decomposed mud manure fertilizer needs to be applied, and then quick-acting fertilizer should be applied after germination.

3. Transplanting and planting

Lotus horns are usually planted in spring, with the hole distance controlled at about 1.5-2 meters, and 2-3 plants planted in each hole.
