How to cultivate Artemisia selengensis

1. Soil:

Artemisia selengensis has a strong ability to adapt to the land and can be planted in general land, but it is best cultivated in fertile, loose soil with good water storage capacity.

2. Lighting:

Artemisia selengensis is a short-day plant, and receiving light can promote plant growth. However, the lighting hours should not be too long, as too long will affect the growth of the plants.

3. Watering:

Artemisia selengensis is a shallow-rooted plant that is drought- and waterlogging-resistant. It does not require frequent watering, just keep the soil moist.

4. Fertilization:

Before cultivating Artemisia selengensis, use soil fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer as base fertilizer. After 15-20 days and 35-45 days of cultivation, top dressing should be carried out mainly with compound fertilizer and farmyard manure.

5. Pest and disease control:

1. Diseases: The main disease of Artemisia selengensis is stem rot. Stem rot can harm the rhizomes of Artemisia selengensis, causing rot and, in severe cases, the death of the plant. Once the disease is discovered, the seedbed must be disinfected first, and then prevention and control measures must be taken by spraying Miebingwei or Thiophanate.

2. Pests: The main pests of Artemisia selengensis are aphids, which will suck the sap of the leaves and affect the normal development and growth of the plant. Insecticides should be sprayed before they migrate and spread. Use 40% dimethoate or 20% cypermethrin or aphidicide to spray to prevent and control pests.
