How to make broccoli a 'flower of wealth'?
High yield planting techniques for broccoli
Broccoli originated in Italy and was introduced to China in the 19th century
A recent study in Japan concluded that broccoli has a much higher nutritional value and disease prevention effect than other vegetables, ranking first;
Broccoli has become a common vegetable in our daily lives.
Three important factors for high yield of broccoli:
Suitable growth temperature: 5 ° -25 ° C
Mechanized transplanting: using broccoli transplanters to ensure basic seedlings and achieve stable and high yields
Adequate fertilizer: Apply appropriate topdressing to ensure nutrition and prevent pests and diseases.
1、 Sowing and seedling cultivation
Sowing time: Generally chosen in spring or autumn, but it also depends on the temperature in each region, and the suitable temperature for growth is between 5 ° -25 ° C.
Appropriate density: 1 capsule per cavity in the matrix tray; 120-140 plants per square meter in ordinary fields.
2、 Field transplantation
When the seedlings grow to 4.5-5 leaves, they can be transplanted. Different varieties have different densities during transplantation: "Lucky" and "Spring Green" have 2700 plants per mu, "Winter Green" and "Cold Show" have 2500 plants per mu, and "Future" has 3500 plants per mu, with corresponding plant spacing of 41, 45, and 32CM, respectively.
Through years of visits, we believe that mechanized transplanting not only saves labor but also accurately ensures row and plant spacing, meeting the requirements of basic seedlings. This is a prerequisite for achieving stable and high yields.
3、 Disease prevention and control
Broccoli is most prone to the occurrence of cabbage caterpillars and aphids, and pesticides need to be used as soon as they appear. However, it is important to note that pesticides should not be applied again half a month before harvest.
Classic case:
The planting area of broccoli in Binhai Town, Wenling City, Zhejiang Province is 30000 mu
Production efficiency comparison: 0.7 mu/person · day for manual labor, 20 mu/day for Fulaiwei broccoli transplanter.
The planting area of broccoli in Dayu Town, Rudong County, Nantong City is 20000 mu
