How to plant wild rice stem

1. Cutting treatment

When harvesting茭白, select individual plants with good quality to keep, and wait until mid-December to dig them out with their roots, cut off the top and bottom, and keep the middle part for cuttings and transplanting.

2. Planting seedlings

When transplanting water chestnuts, keep a row spacing of 50 cm and a plant spacing of 15 cm. At the same time, leave a 70-80 cm aisle between rows. The depth of transplanting should be controlled well, and a shallow water layer of 1-2 cm should be maintained. In order to avoid freezing and promote rooting and germination, the nursery field can be covered with plastic film. In addition, after the transplanting survives, appropriate fertilizer is needed.

3. Land preparation and fertilization

Choose a field with flat land and deep soil. Make sure there is sufficient light and water. Plow the field and apply well-rotted farmyard manure. If rice has been planted before, increase the amount of base fertilizer. Then rake it flat and irrigate the field with water to a depth of 2-3 cm.

4. Planting

The time for transplanting茭白 is usually April or May, when the seedlings have grown to 20 cm in height and the temperature of the paddy field is above 10 degrees. The seedlings are dug out with their roots and separated with a knife. Usually 3-5 healthy tillers are grouped together, and each group should have old stems on it. At the same time, do not damage the tillers and roots, and plant them in the field.

Precautions for planting wild rice stem

The growth of water chestnuts will be affected by leaf blight, and spots will appear on the leaves, so the diseased leaves should be removed in time and sprayed with carbendazim for disinfection and prevention. If rust occurs, apply some fertilizer appropriately, and you can use diniconazole or ammonium chloride for spraying.
