How to plant daylily so that it can quickly enter the high-yield period?

Daylily has a unique taste and is rich in nutrients. It can also be used as a medicinal material and has a very high cost-effectiveness. People often make daylily buds into dried vegetables and then transport them to various places, which can help regulate the demand in the vegetable off-season market. People are paying more and more attention to day lily, and many growers have begun to plant it on a large scale. So how can day lily be planted so that it quickly enters the high-yield period? Let’s take a look below.

1. Understand the growth habits of daylily

Before we start planting and transplanting, we need to understand the growth habits of daylily. Daylily likes warm and humid environment, is highly cold-resistant and has a wide adaptability. Daylily does not have high soil requirements, but fertile, well-drained sandy soil is preferred.

2. Planting Technology

Seed selection: Choose varieties that are disease-resistant, stress-resistant, widely adaptable and high-yielding.

Land preparation: Before planting, the land should be deeply plowed, harrowed, and well-rotted organic fertilizer should be applied to improve soil structure and increase soil fertility.

Sowing: Generally, the plant is planted by division. Select healthy seed plants, retain 2-3 buds on each plant, and carry out division and transplantation. The sowing depth should be enough to cover the plants with soil, and water appropriately after sowing.

Density: Planting density is determined based on factors such as variety characteristics, soil fertility and management level.

Watering: During the growing period, keep the soil moist. During the dry season, increase the frequency of watering to ensure sufficient moisture. At the same time, pay attention to drainage during the rainy season to prevent water accumulation and root rot.

Fertilization: Apply fertilizer reasonably according to the growth requirements of daylily and soil fertility conditions. Generally, organic fertilizer is used as the main fertilizer, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are added appropriately to promote plant growth and flowering and fruiting.

Intertillage and weeding: During the growing period, intertillage and weeding should be carried out in time to promote root growth and prevent nutrient competition.

Pest and disease control : Check the growth of daylily regularly to detect and treat pests and diseases in a timely manner. Common diseases and pests include leaf spot disease, rust disease, etc., which can be prevented and controlled by using corresponding pesticides .

3. Transplanting Technology

Prepare the seedbed: Select a flat and well-drained plot of land as the seedbed. The length of the seedbed is determined according to the planting area. Apply appropriate amounts of organic fertilizer, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers on the seedbed to increase soil fertility.

Selecting seedlings: Choose healthy, disease- and insect-free seedlings for transplanting. Before transplanting, the seedlings should be pruned to remove weak and diseased branches, leaving healthy and strong branches.

Transplanting time: Transplanting is generally carried out in spring or autumn, when the temperature is suitable and the soil moisture is moderate, which is conducive to the survival and growth of seedlings.

Transplanting method: Transplant the seedlings according to a certain spacing between rows and plants, and pay attention to keeping the root system of the plants intact. After transplanting, water the plants thoroughly to help the seedlings take root and adapt to the new environment.

Post-management: Within 1-2 weeks after transplanting, check the growth of seedlings regularly to identify and deal with problems in time. At the same time, keep the soil moist to promote the recovery of seedlings. As the seedlings grow, you can increase the amount of watering and fertilization appropriately to promote plant growth and flowering and fruiting.

Pest and disease control: During the growth period after transplanting, check the growth of daylily regularly to detect and treat pests and diseases in a timely manner. Appropriate pesticides can be used for prevention and control.

Harvesting: Daylilies are ready to harvest when their buds are fully grown and brightly colored. Be careful when harvesting to avoid damaging the plants and affecting subsequent harvests. At the same time, the harvested daylilies should be kept clean and tidy to increase their commercial value.

Storage and transportation: After harvest, daylily can be stored and transported. When storing, pay attention to maintain dry and ventilated conditions to avoid moisture and mildew. During transportation, pay attention to protecting the integrity of the daylily to avoid damage caused by squeezing and collision.

Crop rotation and fallow: In order to maintain soil fertility and avoid the occurrence of pests and diseases, it is recommended to rotate crops and leave land fallow regularly. Do not plant daylilies continuously on the same land. Rotate them with other crops or leave the land fallow for a period of time before planting again. This is beneficial to improving the yield and quality of daylily, and is also beneficial to the maintenance of the agricultural ecological environment.

Daylily is a nutritious vegetable with multiple application values ​​and is often used in cooking and food processing. In order to improve the yield and quality of daylily, reasonable planting and transplanting are the key.
