Alfalfa planting methods, how to grow alfalfa

1. Planting time

Spring and autumn are the peak seasons for alfalfa planting, and the good growth temperature of alfalfa is about 5 35 degrees.

2. Sowing method

Most areas are dominated by strip sowing, with a row spacing of 30 cm, which is conducive to ventilation and light transmission and field management. The sowing amount is generally about l kilogram mu, the planting field should be less, the saline-alkali land can be appropriately more, and the sowing amount is too large and the seedlings are weak. The sowing depth is the key to the quality of the seedling, generally the sowing is too deep, the best depth is centimeters.

3. Growth environment

Alfalfa likes an environment with sufficient sunlight, high moisture and high air humidity, so when planting alfalfa, if it is planted outdoors in the open field, it is necessary to choose a sunny place, and at the same time, it is necessary to choose a good loose soil, preferably a fertile acidic soil.

4. Harvesting and utilization

Alfalfa can be harvested many times a year, alfalfa is regenerative and can be harvested 3-4 times a year, and it can be harvested once in 40-50 days from spring to autumn, and the yield is very high.

It seems to be a stubble, so there should be no need to top, I planted it for hamsters, so I don't consider moving the pot.

Alfalfa cultivation management techniques.

When planting alfalfa, it is recommended to choose a plot with sufficient fertilizer and water, good soil quality and convenient irrigation for planting. After the seeds can be evenly sown into the soil after washing the wide potato net, it is necessary to cover the soil with a layer of about 2 cm of thin soil, and when the alfalfa is maintained in the later stage, it is necessary to carry out weeding regularly and do drainage work to avoid water accumulation and root rot.

When planting alfalfa, it is recommended to choose a plot with sufficient fertilizer and water, good soil quality and convenient irrigation for planting. Note that the seeds of alfalfa are smaller, the young shoots are weaker, after choosing a good plot, the soil needs to be turned deeply, and an appropriate amount of well-rotted organic fertilizer is mixed into the soil as the base fertilizer, and then the fertilizer and the soil need to be mixed evenly, so that the alfalfa can grow vigorously.

When planting, it is recommended to choose high-quality alfalfa seeds for sowing, the seeds need to be cleaned first, and then placed in the sun for 1 2 days to break the dormancy period of the seeds, so as to improve the germination rate of alfalfa. If sowing is carried out in cold regions, alfalfa seeds of cold-resistant varieties are selected for sowing.

Before sowing alfalfa seeds, dilute the alfalfa nodules and water, and then stir well with the seeds. After that, it can be sown in spring every year, and it is recommended to use the method of strip sowing, which can be evenly sown in 30 to 60 cm of soil. After sowing, the soil needs to be covered with a thin layer of about 2 cm, and properly watered to moisturize.

After planting, it is necessary to carry out reasonable maintenance, alfalfa seedlings grow relatively slowly, so when maintaining alfalfa, it is necessary to frequently remove weeds around the soil. In addition, alfalfa is less waterlogging tolerant, so it is necessary to do a good job of drainage during the rainy season to avoid stagnant water and root rot.

Before planting alfalfa, you must choose a land close to the water source, fertile, loose, acidic soil to plant, planting alfalfa can also be planted with sandy soil, to completely remove the weeds in the field when preparing the land, and when cultivating the land, it is also necessary to plough deeply, and then level the soil quality, and finally apply foot fertilizer after ploughing.

In the field management of planting alfalfa, there is more management, first of all, the field should be checked for seedlings, if there are dead seedlings or fallen seedlings, then it is necessary to replenish the seedlings and support the seedlings, and then water and fertilize the seedlings;

The growth of alfalfa requires sufficient water, but at the same time, there should be no stagnant water in the field, and stagnant water should be discharged in time. As for fertilizing alfalfa, it has a special bacterial fertilizer, and it can also apply an appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer and organic humus fertilizer.
