How to plant spinach for the fastest emergence?

Spinach likes cold. In our southern coastal areas, spinach is planted in late autumn, usually after the cold dew, because before the cold dew, the weather is very hot and spinach seeds are not easy to germinate. Spinach seeds germinate quickly only when it is cool and humid.

Therefore, temperature has a great influence on the emergence rate of spinach. When the weather is cool, the emergence of spinach will be faster, otherwise, the emergence will be much slower.

However, there are always exceptions. Some friends will also sow spinach after the cold dew and when the weather gets cold. Why do they sprout slowly and don't like it very much? In fact, that's because the sowing management method is wrong.

Here are three tips to share with you. The cultivated spinach not only emerges quickly, but also has fewer diseases and insect pests.

1, germinate for three to five days before planting spinach.

In this small farming group in our village, it has become a consensus that spinach should germinate first. Only germinated spinach will germinate quickly.

Of course, before accelerating germination, it is necessary to soak spinach seeds in clear water for half a day, so that spinach seeds can absorb enough water and the physiological mechanism in the body begins to recover. Then, wrap them in a breathable cloth, wet the cloth with water, put it on the top shelf of the refrigerator and open it to a low temperature. It takes about 3 to 5 days for spinach seeds to germinate one after another.

During germination, it needs to be taken out and washed with clear water every day, spread out and dried, which is more conducive to the germination of spinach seeds.

2. Deep ploughing and shallow furrow covering with thin soil

Whether the soil is fluffy and breathable will affect the germination and subsequent growth of spinach seeds. Therefore, we should not be lazy. Before sowing spinach, we need to dig and break the vegetable fields with hoes, and then sprinkle some farmyard manure, such as pig manure and plant ash mud, which can improve the soil structure, avoid soil hardening and make the soil more fluffy and breathable.

When sowing in furrows, the furrow should not be too deep, just shallow, and if it is deep, it will be about 3 cents to 5 centimeters.

After the seed ditch is opened, water is directly poured into the seed ditch until the soil in the seed ditch is soaked. After the water is fully absorbed, spray some beneficial bacteria liquid fertilizer or Bacillus subtilis solution to increase the beneficial bacteria in the soil and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

Finally, evenly sprinkle spinach seeds and cover with soil; The soil covering is exquisite. Generally speaking, it only needs to cover half a centimeter to one centimeter, and then gently compact the soil. At the same time, cover the surface with some sun-shading things, which can be dry straw, dry weeds or breathable cloth. In short, as long as it is sunscreen, moisturizing and breathable.

3, see fertilizer dry irrigation

After accelerating germination and sowing according to the above method, small tender leaves will appear in about 3 ~ 5 days. This time is the time to test our patience; Spinach seedlings are very fragile. If the soil is dry and exposed to the sun for a day, it is easy to wither or get sunburned, resulting in slow growth or even no growth. Therefore, it is necessary to observe them every few days and irrigate the spinach field as soon as possible after the seedlings are fully grown.

Irrigation is also a trick. Because spinach seedlings are very delicate, you can't splash them directly with water. Instead, it is slowly poured through with clear water from one or more places in the spinach field, and the water will slowly flow to other places in the spinach field and be gradually absorbed by the soil. Water slowly flows out from the roots of spinach seedlings, and the soil can be soaked without washing spinach seedlings.

During irrigation, some mixed liquid of beneficial bacteria liquid fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and brassinolide is poured, which flows to every place of spinach seedlings with the water to supplement sufficient nutrients and improve the immunity and growth rate of spinach seedlings.

Growing spinach is as simple as that. Do a good job of germination, sun protection, watering and fertilization to ensure that the soil is fluffy and breathable, and the fertilizer is sufficient to avoid sun exposure. Spinach germinates quickly and grows wildly.
