How to grow Perilla

1. Breeding environment

1. Water: Perilla can tolerate waterlogging and is suitable for growing in a slightly humid environment. It needs to be replenished with water in time. Water evaporates quickly in midsummer, so more watering is needed. During the rainy season, drainage measures must be taken to prevent water accumulation.

2. Light: If conditions permit, place it in a sunny place. It can tolerate shade to a certain extent. In hot weather, shade measures should be taken.

3. Fertilizer: Apply sufficient base fertilizer during cultivation. Apply organic fertilizer 3-5 times during the growing period depending on its growth conditions. You can also spray foliar fertilizer appropriately.

3. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

1. Leaf spot disease: After it occurs, it will harm the leaves and large spots will appear on the leaves. Normally, it is necessary to ensure sufficient ventilation and pay attention to drainage. When the disease first occurs, wettable mancozeb should be used to solve the problem.

2. Red spider mites: They mostly appear on the back of leaves. There will be small yellow and white spots on the back of the leaves. In severe cases, they can cause leaves to fall off. After the occurrence, the diseased leaves should be cleaned up as soon as possible and sprayed with dimethoate emulsion.
