Breeding method

Fertilization

Wild leek has shallow root distribution and vigorous growth on the ground. It is advisable to choose fertile, loose and strong water retaining soil. Before planting, apply sufficient soil and miscellaneous fertilizer or rotten manure

Post planting management

Often spray water after planting to keep the soil moist. Combined with water spraying, secondary topdressing is mostly quick acting nitrogen fertilizer

Harvest

Wild leek mainly collects young leaves. When most of the leaves of the plant grow to normal size, they should be collected in time to ensure the quality of young leaves. Generally, it is harvested every 20-30 days, and the leaf base 1-2 cm away from the ground is cut

The flower bolt can be harvested in summer and the rhizome can be collected in autumn and winter

Breeding method

Reproduction

The propagation of wild leek is mainly ramet propagation

When the plant has more than 3 tillers, it can reproduce separately, which can generally be carried out in spring

In other seasons, pay attention to shading and moisturizing, cover with shading net and spray water in time. The plant row spacing of ramet colonization is 20-30 cm × 30 cm

Softening cultivation

Wild leek can not only harvest leek green, but also be softened and cultivated. Generally, it is more suitable to soften and cultivate wild leek with strong growth and more tillers in 2-3 years

When the plant grows to vigorous and robust, the leek green is harvested and softened. Light tight materials such as bamboo tube and tile tube are commonly used in softening cultivation. Bamboo tube and tile tube are not easy to heat transfer. This method is more suitable in hot and rainy seasons in South China

Generally, there is a hole cover on the tile cylinder. Cover the hole during the day to block the light, and open the hole cover at night to facilitate ventilation, reduce humidity and prevent decay. It can be harvested once after 7-10 days in spring, summer and autumn and 10-15 days in winter and early spring
