Artichoke cultivation methods and precautions

Artichoke cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Different growth periods have different temperature requirements. The temperature for seed development should be controlled at around 20 degrees, at which the germination rate is the highest; the temperature suitable for its growth is around 20 degrees. It is not heat-resistant and will not continue to grow if the temperature exceeds thirty-four degrees. Therefore, the curing temperature must be controlled well.

2. Watering: If there is plenty of rain, there is no need for manual watering. If the plant is in a state of drought for a long time, it needs artificial watering, and the frequency of watering is once a week. It is not tolerant to waterlogging, so when watering, just water until the surface of the soil is moist. During the bud formation period and the flower stem growth period, the water consumption is relatively high, so the amount of watering needs to be increased.

3. Fertilization: It consumes a lot of nutrients during the growth period, and the nutrients in the soil alone are not enough. It needs to be fertilized once a month. Fertilizers can be nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers, or farmyard manure. After fertilizing, you need to water immediately to dilute the fertilizer and avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Light: The demand for light will increase during the flower stem period. If there is sufficient light, the leaves of the plant will grow larger and thicker, the number of flower stems will increase, and the flower buds will grow more. If full-day sunshine is not possible, at least five hours of sunshine per day are required.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated asexually, that is, division. The breeding season is in October every year. Separate the tillers and roots at the base of the plant from the mother plant, and then the seedlings can be planted directly. Small seedlings need to be transplanted into the seedbed and can only be transplanted after they grow up.

2. Planting: The planting time is from October to November. When planting, use wide and narrow rows and high-moisture single ridges. The wide row should be 1.4 meters and the narrow row should be 1 meter.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: Common pests include aphids and beetles. They feed on the tender branches of the plant, seriously endangering the health of the plant. If found, aphid-killing bacteria should be used to eliminate the insects.

2. Disease: If the leaves of the plant are normal in the morning and evening, but wilt at noon, it means that the plant is infected with root rot. Treatment requires the use of carbendazim spray.

IV. Other issues

1. Edible: edible.

2. Is it suitable for home cultivation: It has relatively high requirements for maintenance conditions, so it is not suitable for home cultivation.
