Artemisia selengensis planting time and method planting technology and management methods

Artemisia planting time

Artemisia selengensis is suitable for planting in spring from March to April. The climate at this time is relatively warm. The seeds are easy to germinate after sowing, and the seedlings grow very fast. If the planting time is too early, the temperature is low and it is difficult to germinate. If the planting time is too late, the temperature is too high and the light is very strong, which often causes the seedlings to be sunburned.

How to plant Artemisia selengensis

1. Land preparation and fertilization

Planting artemisia generally needs to be carried out in land with fertile soil and good irrigation. The previous crop cannot be an aster crop, otherwise it will affect the development of the plants. The land must be plowed before planting, and sufficient base fertilizer must be applied to increase its fertility. Generally, 3,000-4,000 kg of manure is added per mu, and the soil is leveled and made into beds after fertilization.

2. Planting

Mix the seeds of Artemisia selengensis with fine soil, then sow them in rows with a row spacing of about 30 cm. Sow the seeds in the soil, cover with soil and water appropriately. Generally, seedlings will emerge in late March. At this time, thinning is required to retain healthy seedlings and replant in places where seedlings are missing.

3. Field management

During the growing season of Artemisia selengensis, top dressing needs to be done once in September and October, with 10 kg of urea applied per mu. At the same time, watering should be combined to accelerate plant growth. Attention should also be paid to weeding to prevent them from occupying nutrients in the soil. The plant is relatively resistant to moisture, so frequent watering is needed during high temperature seasons to keep the field moist.

Precautions for planting Artemisia selengensis

After the Artemisia selengensis seedlings emerge, plant seedlings where there are shortages. After planting, water, fertilize and weed in time. Before watering and fertilizing, remove the weeds in the field and let the land breathe. This will increase the soil's absorption capacity and allow the Artemisia selengensis to grow faster.
