Cultivation methods and precautions of eyebright grass

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Eyebright prefers a warmer environment. The best breeding temperature is between 25-35℃. It can grow faster and take shape faster in a warm environment.

2. Sunlight: It doesn’t like sunlight very much. If we go outdoors, we will find it on the shady side of the hillside. Therefore, when we plant it, we can just keep it indoors or block it from strong direct sunlight.

3. Fertilizer: Millet grass has strong fertilizer tolerance, and its growth period is very short. It grows fast and requires a particularly large amount of fertilizer. You can apply farmyard manure and superphosphate during normal breeding.

4. Water: Water is very important for it. As long as there is sufficient water, it can grow well, so water it more often. Farmers who grow it on a large scale usually plant it in paddy fields or next to ponds.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Seed propagation is more suitable for it. It is best to sow in spring and summer when the climate is warm to facilitate seed germination. After sowing, cover with a thin layer of soil, water to wet the soil around the seeds, and then wait for it to germinate.

2. Management: When the millet grass seedlings are in the stage, it is necessary to remove weeds for it and apply 1-2 top dressings. If the soil is kept moist at all times, it can grow faster.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Aphids: They often occur during the heading period of millet grass. If aphids are found on the leaves, they need to be sprayed with 1000 times dimethoate emulsion in time. Continuous use can achieve a complete cure.

2. Stem borer: When the stem borer outbreak occurs, the ears of millet grass are eaten by the pests and turned into white ears. When symptoms are discovered, spray with 1000 times dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane solution as soon as possible.

IV. Other issues

1. Can it be eaten?: Millet grass itself is edible, but it is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. It is better not to eat it without the doctor's advice.

2. Is it toxic? Millet grass is non-toxic. It is usually used as fodder to feed crayfish, or planted in grasslands for grazing. It is not toxic at all and can be raised with confidence.
