Cosmos farming methods

Cosmos farming methods

Cosmos sex strong, like the sun, resistance to drought, the soil is relaxed, but not in water.If the plant in the fertile soil, moderate growth, easy cause foliage affects the quality of bloom.

Is transplanted seedling height 5 cm, lobes 7 -- 8 pieces of engraftment, also can live after thinning.Such as planting site with basal, is growing again without fertilization, the soil if too fat, branches and leaves easy moderate growth, flowering.Or 5 times in every 10 days during growing water a rotten urine.Drought in 2 ~ 3 times of water, that is, grow good, flowering.July and August during high temperature flowering is not easy to seed.Should fall off easily after seed maturity, dawn for seed.Cosmos as short as plants, spring sowing seedlings Ye Maohua less often, summer sowing seedling plant small, neat, flowering continuously.Its rapid growth, can pick heart for many times, in order to increase branch.

Cosmos plant tall, pillar at the wind plant should be set to prevent lodging and wreck.Breeding dwarf plant more commonly, be in namely young miao to top 20 ~ 30 cm high, after the new crown and then removed several times in a row, the plant can be reduced;At the same time also increased the number of flowers.Planting soil should be slightly basal dressing.Seed like achene somewhat got black, the gathering, lest they mature.

This kind of seedling period need to the short day treatment to blossom, properly should grasp the suitable sowing time;Appropriate outdoor live broadcast, yi ke seedling;Seed coverer about 1 cm, about 5-10 days of emergence;Rootstocks 5-6 true leaf transplantation, engraftment 30-50 cm distance, growing season to pick heart, prompted branch, high control so as to avoid the late lodging.Soil is relaxed, but not water, not cold, avoid heat.Resistance or poor soil.

Maintenance points:

Breeding, planting or cutting propagation.Also can use twig cutting in the summer.

Sowing in late march early April, the seed sowing in outdoor seedbed.Ground temperature 15 ℃ in low also can sprout, but if early sowing, can grow to be a giant plant height of 2 m, due to the typhoon or the weight of the plant and easy to lodging.There are 50-70 days after sowing will bloom early varieties, so will divide the opened early autumn sowing.

Management: xi humidity xiangyang, slightly early frost resistance, relaxed on the soil.Is transplanted seedling height 5 cm, lobes 7 -- 8 pieces of engraftment.Lax to fertilizer requirement, every 10 days during the growth of 5 times water a rotten urine.High medium variety flowers before the need for support, in case of cyclone lodging.Its rapid growth, can pick heart for many times, in order to increase branch.Prone to red hotThe spiderHarm, should be early prevention and treatment.Such as seeds in late July and early August, the 50-60 days to flowering, plant small and tidy, make itThe National DayUse.Seeds mature, optional cut spend big yellow flower, dried seed.

Don't think that to develop into plant dwarf, lodging of the cosmos, the following countermeasures should be taken:

(1) seeds in late July.

(2) after the spring sowing to 40-50 cm long when the heart, let the axillary bud flowering.

(3) set up short bamboo and other pillar as soon as possible.

And ill: must take countermeasures against mildew, aphids, leaf mites.Pest to mildew is aspersed benomyl, to sprinkle ORR Toland granule

How to prevent the cosmos lodging

Cosmos plant forms of high and large sparse natural and unrestrained, flowers, beautiful, lodging often appear because of this, however, great scenery.Lodging of cosmos, can take the following measures to prevent:

1. 7 ~ 8 month for sowing.During this period seeding cosmos can blossom, in October and plant short and neat.

(2) pick the heart.Need to have many times to pick a heart in the growth period of cosmos, on the one hand, we can make the plant dwarf, on the other hand can also prompt germination branches growing flowers.

(3) less fertilizing watering.Too much water easy to cause moderate growth and lodging of the plant, and few flowering.

Disease and insect protection: the main plant diseases and insect pests of common leaf spot, powdery mildew damage.Taub available 50% wettable powder 500 times liquid spray wine.Pests have aphids, the beetle damage, with 10% of deinsectization essence oil 2500 times liquid spray.Easy happening in hot starscream harm, should be early prevention and treatment.
