Today's sharing: Tips on how to plant American ginseng and the conditions and techniques for growing American ginseng, followed by an introduction by the editor.
The original origin of American ginseng is not China, but it was introduced from Canada and the United States. It is also known as Siberian ginseng. American ginseng has many benefits for the human body. So, how is American ginseng planted? Let's take a look together.
1. Sowing. Sow with a spacing of about 5 centimeters in a place without direct sunlight, and pay attention to the humidity of the sowing area.
2. Density. Generally, the planting density is specified as 30 centimeters, which allows for good permeability of American ginseng. This is conducive to nutrient absorption and growth.
3. Soil. It is generally necessary to choose relatively fertile farmland, selecting well-ventilated soil that is rich in humus and can retain fertilizer and water with a slightly acidic pH.
4. Light. American ginseng is a shade-loving plant. During the seedling stage, the light transmission should not exceed 20%. It is very sensitive to light, and if exposed to strong light, the stems and leaves will turn yellow and wither prematurely, so sun protection must be taken into account.
5. Watering. American ginseng requires a lot of water to grow. The suitable humidity for American ginseng should be at least 50%, and the maximum field moisture should be 65%. We must manage watering properly.
6. Fertilization. In the early stages of planting, use large amounts of fertilizer, peat, and soybean cake fertilizer to improve the fertility of the planting area. When American ginseng is growing vigorously in the later stages, use phosphorus, potassium, and urea fertilizers. American ginseng should be top-dressed every month from June to August.
7. Pest and disease control. The main pests and diseases include Fusarium wilt, black spot disease, and ground beetles. It is possible to use high doses of insecticidal and fungicidal agents to treat the soil before sowing.
8. Harvesting. American ginseng takes a long time to bloom and fruit, almost 3 years. When the fruit color turns bright red, it indicates maturity and can be harvested. The roots should not be damaged when digging, and they should be cleaned with water and placed in a ventilated area to dry in the shade. After half-drying, expose them to the sun for one month to dry thoroughly and they will become the finished product.
