Seed reproduction

Seed soaking

As the seeds of Agropyron Africana are very small, it is necessary to soak the seeds to promote germination before sowing. The specific operations are as follows: first soak the seeds in warm water at about 20-30 ℃ for about 2-4 hours before sowing

On demand

Careful cultivation and management are required during seeding and seedling raising. First, one African Wheatgrass Seed can be sown in the seedling raising plate, or three seeds can be sown at a point of 9 cm. Because the seeds of iceberg vegetables are relatively small and the soil covering is too thick, it will affect their germination. Therefore, it is only necessary to cover a layer of soil gently. In order to make them germinate better, it is necessary to control the temperature management after sowing, which is appropriate to be about 20 ℃, and the incubator needs to be used in low temperature period. If sown and cultivated in autumn, sometimes it will be affected by high temperature, resulting in the reduction of germination rate. Pay attention to keep the seedling room ventilated at this time, so as to reduce the temperature of the seedling environment

Colonization

Depending on the cultivation period, it is usually about 20-40 days after the ice vegetable seed is sown, and it can be planted when the leaves grow 4-5 pieces. There are different cultivation methods according to different cultivation areas, and direct seeding can also be carried out in some places. Seedling raising and transplanting can improve the quality of plants. For cultivation in low temperature period, a layer of white plastic film shall be covered. For cultivation in high temperature period, ventilation and cooling shall be done well

Harvest

When harvesting African wheatgrass, scissors should be used to spread the diameter all the way. The main harvest is the lateral branches about two months after sowing. In addition, it should be stored at low temperature during transportation, or transported in the early morning when the temperature is low. Precooling is required after harvest
