Mint is usually planted in a sunny place with flat terrain and fertile soil, and drainage and irrigation must be convenient. Select a strong growing mother plant, remove the stems and leaves, and retain the rhizomes for seedling cultivation. You can also use divisions and cuttings to cultivate seedlings. During its growth, pay attention to weeding to promote seedling growth. When it grows to 10-15 cm tall, you can add a little urea and water it every 15 days. In addition, attention should be paid to preventing various diseases.

1. Leveling the land

1. Leveling the land

Mint should generally be planted in a place with sufficient sunlight and convenient drainage and irrigation. The soil should not be too acidic or too alkaline. Flat terrain and relatively fertile soil are more conducive to its growth. However, after planting once, you cannot continue planting within three years. After finding the land, you need to plow it deeply, apply decomposed compost, superphosphate and bone meal as base fertilizer to the ground, rake it finely and turn the fertilizer into the soil.

2. Seedling cultivation methods

Seedling cultivation There are three ways. Rhizome seedlings are generally carried out in April or August. The mother plants that are strong and free of diseases and insect pests are selected as mother plants. In early winter, the stems and leaves on the ground are cut off, and the rhizomes are left in the ground. When raising seedlings by division, plant the seedlings separately when they grow to 15 cm. Cutting In May-June, cut 10 cm long branches, cut them into the seedbed, and wait until they take root and sprout before transplanting.

3. Daily management

In During the growth of mint, you must first check the condition of the seedlings and replant them appropriately where there are missing seedlings. After it is patched up, it is time to start weeding. Eliminating weeds can prevent them from competing for nutrients and promote the growth of seedlings. When it grows to 10-15 cm high, you can add a little urea, 10 kg per acre. It needs to be watered once every 15 days in the early stage of growth, and another 4-5 times after emergence and harvest.

4. Disease prevention and control

Hazards Mint diseases include black shank, rust and leaf blight. Among them, black shank mainly occurs in the seedling stage, which will cause the base of the stem to turn black and rot, making it lodging and withering. It is generally controlled with chlorothalonil or carbendazim. Rust mostly occurs from May to July and can be treated with fenxinin. Leaf blight is more common from May to October, and can be sprayed with Zinc once a week to control the disease.
