Moss is a green algae plant, very adaptable, can grow normally in high and low temperature environments, but the best quality in the environment of 10-20 ° C, so the cultivation period is generally in autumn and spring. The specific planting methods and timings are as follows:
1. Planting time:
Wintering moss is usually sown in mid-August to late October. The specific criteria are: grow to more than 10 leaves before stopping growth in winter, and the height of the plant reaches 0.5-0.7 meters. The leaves are harvested before winter and the fleshy roots are used for the winter. It re-sprouts in the spring and harvests the tender herbs after the extraction of the young herbs. If you want to propagate seeds, do not harvest leaves and young seeds in the spring, and harvest the seeds when they mature in June.
Spring sowing occurs after the local soil has been thawed, and when the temperature reaches above 10 °C, the growth rate is accelerated, and the harvest is harvested before the temperature exceeds 20 °C. If harvesting is delayed, the leaves become bitter in taste and fiber increases.
Moss can be cultivated in various places, but the temperature difference between places is large, the cooling rate is not consistent, and the appropriate sowing period is selected according to the local environmental conditions.
2. Variety selection: Choose different moss varieties for different sowing periods.
Round-leaved moss and oil-leaf bitters are pumped late, and the yield of young herbs is high, which is suitable for sowing in autumn and picking young herbs in the second year. Because the seedlings grow slowly, they should not be cultivated as green leafy vegetables and softened cultivation.
Yellow-leaved moss grows fast, early spring is easy to extract moss, generally sown in the spring to harvest leaves, or autumn and winter greenhouse cultivation, harvest leaves or seedlings, also as softening cultivation.
3. Plot Selection:
Moss does not require high soil conditions, but in order to obtain high-yield and high-quality moss, it is necessary to choose loam soil with deep soil layer, high soil fertility and good irrigation conditions to cultivate moss. Before sowing, more than 2000 kg of decomposed farmhouse fertilizer, 20-30 kg of ternary compound fertilizer, and then deep ploughing of more than 25 cm, after the whole fine soil is sown.
4. Sowing method:
Before sowing, watering to make a mound, and the penthouse to sow the seeds. Because the seeds are small, they need to be mixed with fine soil or sandy soil and sown or striped, with a row spacing of about 20 cm and a ditch width of 3 cm. Each mu requires 0.2-0.3 kg of seeds, 1 cm thick of covered soil, and seedlings can be produced in about 10 days. If the soil is dry, watering is needed to keep the soil moist.
5. Water and fertilizer management:
After the emergence of true leaves, the seedlings began to be planted many times, and the plant spacing of the seedlings was maintained at 6-10 cm, and the seedlings were watered after the seedlings were watered and protected. After the seedling is fixed, it begins to topdress, generally based on the feces and urine or urea of the decomposed person. Watering frozen water once before winter and covering the straw can help increase frost resistance and moisture retention.
After the spring began to grow, watering and topdressing began, 10-20 kg of urea per mu was applied, and fertilization and watering were applied again into the extraction period, and the soil was kept moist later.
