What is suitable for planting in sandy land?

Sandy land refers to the soil mixed with more than 80% sand and less than 20% clay. Generally speaking, it refers to soil with high sand content. This kind of soil is loose and permeable, but its water and fertilizer retention ability is poor, so it needs to be improved during cultivation. Not suitable for the growth of some plants. What medicinal materials or fruits and vegetables are suitable for planting in that sandy land, and what is the high benefit of planting? Today, let's take a look:

What is suitable for planting in sandy land and what is good for planting?

Crops suitable for planting on sandy soil

We can plant some crops that like sandy soil, need less water and are drought-tolerant. Peanuts, watermelons, sweet potatoes, cacti and aloe are planted on the sand. Because these crops are cold-tolerant, they are most suitable for planting in sandy land. Or take measures such as soil improvement and water-saving irrigation to produce other crops.

What should be planted in the sand? For perennial Chinese herbal medicines with cold tolerance and drought resistance, such as Radix Astragali, Scutellariae Radix, Trichosanthes kirilowii, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Radix Saposhnikoviae, Semen Astragali Complanati, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Radix Codonopsis, etc.

After planting this kind of crops in sandy land, it is necessary to strengthen management, water and fertilize in time, which is more conducive to crop fruit and growth, promote crop growth and improve crop yield and quality. After planting, the crops should be planted at a reasonable density and watered regularly. Water should not be too much, but it should be moderate. In this sandy land, crops with low requirements for water and fertilizer are planted, that is to say, among tuber crops, drought-tolerant and barren crops are more common.

The above content introduces in detail what is suitable for planting sand and what is suitable for planting sand. Taking peanuts as an example, the methods of planting peanuts in sandy soil are introduced in detail.

Method for planting peanuts on sandy soil

1. Land leveling

Peanut is a cash crop, which blooms on the ground, forms fruit needles, and then burrows into the ground to bear fruit. Suitable for planting on loose sandy soil and oily sandy soil. Plots planted with peanuts should be deeply ploughed, and 30-40 tons of high-quality farmyard manure should be applied per hectare in combination with ploughing, and the ploughing should be suppressed 1-2 times. Where conditions permit, irrigation can be carried out first, and then the mixture of agricultural fertilizer and chemical fertilizer can be applied into ridges and ditches to suppress ridging and prepare for timely sowing. Note that peanuts like stubble, and it is not advisable to repeat stubble and stubble. The better previous crops are corn, millet and sorghum.

2. Cultivated varieties

The high yield of peanuts is based on improved varieties. Peanut varieties suitable for planting in this area mainly include Hua Fu series varieties and Jifu series varieties (commonly known as Silihong). The growth period is about 1 10- 120 days. Choose pods with large, full, orderly and undamaged fruits as seeds. Before hulling, it should be aired for 1-3 days, and after hulling, it should be further selected, and the seeds with pure color and neat shape should be selected as seeds.

3. Scientific fertilization

Peanuts are more barren-tolerant, and the fertilization should be based on base fertilizer, with 30 tons of farmyard manure applied per hectare; The fertilizer should be mainly phosphate fertilizer, and 300-400 kilograms of diammonium phosphate should be applied per hectare. Planting peanuts on barren land will increase urea by 200-300 kg per hectare.
