How long is the growth period of reed?

Introduction to Reed Growth

Reeds mainly grow along rivers, ponds, ditches and low wetlands. The main producing areas in my country include the Liaohe Delta in the northeast, Hulunbuir in Inner Mongolia, Bosten Lake in Xinjiang, Ili River Valley, and Baiyangdian in the North China Plain.

Reed growth cycle

Reeds have very strong vitality, are highly adaptable to the environment, and have no requirements for temperature and soil. Generally, the growth cycle of reeds is one year.

Reed growth rate

There are eight main periods in the growth process of reed. Early April is the germination period, early May is the leaf expansion period, early April to late July is the growing period, late July to early August is the heading period, early to late August is the heading period, late August to early September is the flowering period, early October is the seed maturity period, and after the end of October is the leaf fall period.

The growth rate of reed is relatively fast. Usually after mid-May, the plant will enter the peak growth period and the growth rate will accelerate. After mid-August, the plant will enter the reproductive growth period.

Reed growth cycle management

Temperature Management

The suitable temperature for reed growth is 15℃ ~28℃, so during the breeding process, it is best to control the temperature within this range, otherwise it will affect the growth rate.

Fertilization management

In order to make the reeds grow well and increase the yield, it is necessary to apply fertilizers reasonably and maintain the nutritional balance of the soil. Usually, when the reeds enter the peak growth period in mid-to-late May, they need to be fertilized mainly with nitrogen fertilizers and supplemented with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
