Article Guide: This article discusses how to plant coriander to achieve more seedlings, as well as related knowledge about the planting methods and timing of coriander, with a comprehensive introduction to follow.
Coriander is a common vegetable in our lives and can be planted throughout the year. It is also very easy to grow, making it one of the vegetables favored by farmers. It is generally recommended to plant coriander in March and April of spring and September of autumn. Below is an introduction to the planting methods of coriander, including planting time, site selection and preparation, sowing and seedling raising, and field management.
1. Planting Time
Coriander prefers a warm environment. Although it can be planted throughout the year, it is recommended to plant mainly in March and April of spring and September of autumn, as the temperature warms up at this time, which can promote the growth of coriander.
2. Site Selection and Preparation
Coriander has relatively high requirements for the planting location and soil. Therefore, it is recommended to choose soil with high organic matter content, fertility, moisture retention, and good drainage. During land preparation, it is necessary to deeply turn and cultivate the soil and apply a sufficient amount of base fertilizer to ensure the subsequent growth of coriander.
3. Sowing and Seedling Raising
Seed treatment is required before planting. First, the outer skin of the selected seeds should be rubbed off, then the seeds are soaked in warm water for 24 hours. After removing them from the water, wrap the seeds in a damp cloth and place the damp cloth with the seeds in an environment of 15-20 degrees Celsius for about 7-10 days until they germinate.
After germination, sowing can begin. Before sowing, water the prepared land to keep the soil moist. Then, spread the seeds evenly in the field, cover them with a layer of fine soil, and finally, cover them with a layer of plastic film. The plastic film can be removed when the seeds have germinated and grown 3-4 leaves of coriander.
4. Field Management
Watering is not required for newly planted coriander. Generally, the first watering is done after the plants are established. The second watering should be about 7-10 days after the first, and then water every 5-7 days. If enough base fertilizer has been applied, no additional fertilization is needed during the growing period of coriander. However, if the soil is found to be deficient in nutrients during the maintenance of coriander, it is necessary to apply some urea and phosphate fertilizer promptly.
