Vegetable planting, which need to grow seedlings?
In modern agricultural production, more and more farmers choose to buy seedlings or cultivate seedlings by themselves and then transplanting. Seedling cultivation, as a pre-plant culture method, helps to save planting time, ensure uniform growth of plants, and improve growth rate and survival rate. However, not all vegetables are suitable for this method of raising seedlings before planting. Some vegetables may have a growth disadvantage when transplanted after cutting the roots, so they are more suitable for sowing directly in the field.
Vegetables to grow:
1. Fruits and vegetables
Solanum vegetables and melons need to be cultivated, such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc., because of the long growth cycle and slow maturity of these vegetables, the plant development can be controlled in advance through seedling cultivation to ensure that it is transplanted to the greenhouse or open field in the appropriate season. In addition, seedling breeding can also help screen out strong seedlings to ensure growth rate and yield after planting.
2. High-quality leafy vegetables
For example, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, lettuce and celery, if the quality requirements are high, you can also choose to grow seedlings, because these vegetables need a certain growth space and cycle, through seedling can ensure the uniform growth of plants, reduce the problem of dense planting and uneven growth after live broadcasting, and also help reduce the occurrence of soil-borne diseases.
Vegetables suitable for direct seeding:
1. Root vegetables and beans
Such as radish, carrots, beans, etc., these vegetables are easily damaged because their roots are more sensitive to transplanting. Sowing directly on the soil can ensure the natural growth of the root system and reduce the growth delay and production loss caused by transplanting.
2. Fast growing small leaf vegetables:
Such as rosella, cabbage, etc., they grow rapidly, from sowing to harvesting only a short time, so direct sowing is easier, and there is no need to worry about the impact of transplanting on the plant. However, chives can grow seedlings, and they can be transplanted after growing seedlings using a nutrient pot, which can ensure the uniform growth and quality of seedlings.
3. Open-air melons and vegetables:
In the season of suitable temperature, melons and vegetables planted in the open air can be directly sown, because during this time, the suitable temperature in the open air can enable the seeds to germinate quickly into seedlings, avoid the plant growth, and cultivate a more robust plant.
Seedling cultivation and direct seeding have their own advantages and applicability, and the choice of which method depends on the type of vegetables, growth habits and specific planting environment. Understanding the needs of each vegetable, combined with local climatic conditions and soil characteristics, can be more scientifically planted to ensure high quality and high yield of vegetables.
