Cultivation methods and precautions of ground radish

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is cold and heat resistant, and can be cultivated in most parts of my country. As long as the maintenance temperature is guaranteed to be between zero and thirty degrees, it can grow normally. However, if the maintenance temperature is maintained at around 20 degrees, it will grow better because the best maintenance temperature is 20 degrees.

2. Watering: There is plenty of rainfall in the south, so drainage is needed during the rainy season. From July to September, the temperature is high and the soil is prone to drought. The plants need to be watered. Depending on the growth status of the plants, water should be replenished once every one to two weeks. Do not water too much. The standard is that the surface should be wet but not visible, and dry but not cracked.

3. Fertilization: It is a low-fertilizer consumption plant and does not require much nutrients. Before planting, you need to mix base fertilizer into the soil. Thirty days after planting, you need to apply organic fertilizer to the soil. The consumption of nutrients increases during the bud and fruiting periods, so it is sufficient to apply compound fertilizer once a month.

4. Light: It does not require much light. It needs natural light in spring and winter, and shade in summer and autumn. The daily sunlight is guaranteed to be around five hours.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The cutting method can be used to reproduce ground radish. Around the Qingming Festival, select plants with better growth, divide them into 10*10 small squares with a shovel, and transplant them with soil according to the specifications of 30*30. Diffuse light is needed when exposing them to sunlight, and water is needed to help them take root after planting.

2. Overwintering: The roots of the ground radish produced in the same year are not long, and are mainly creeping roots. Its frost resistance is weak. When the temperature is below minus four degrees, the plant will be frostbitten and cannot safely overwinter. Therefore, a layer of plastic film should be laid on the surface of the plant to prevent frost before the low temperature comes.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: Artificially cultivated plants are not currently attacked by pests, so generally no drug control is required.

2. Disease: It has a very strong survival ability and generally will not develop disease. However, just in case, it needs to be sprayed with carbendazim every month.

IV. Other issues

1. Edibility: Its fruit is a berry that is rich in vitamin C and can also be made into a calcium supplement.

2. Other functions: It can not only be used, but also can be used to extract pigments for food processing. It is a natural pigment.
