Leucaena actually did not first appear in our country, but was produced in Mexico. In the 18th century, Indonesia and Africa liked to use leucaena as the source of covert trees for crops such as coffee or cocoa. In addition, Leucaena has a very strong drought tolerance, so it is more suitable for afforestation in barren mountains. So how to properly cultivate Leucaena, let’s learn together.

1.Soil

1. Soil

Choose some plots with thicker soil, gentler slope and better drainage. Plow them all once. Generally, the depth of plowing is 18 to 25 centimeters. It is also possible to open a hole half way through. Then add a little fertilizer inside so that the soil can grow better.

2. Water and fertilizer

From the buds During the period when the flowers bloom, you can usually water it once or twice. If there is too much water, it should be drained in time. Otherwise, the soil will become airtight, which will affect the breathing of its root system and even cause root rot and death. Especially in places with a lot of rain or in relatively low-lying areas, you must be very careful about the presence of standing water. Proper irrigation can be done during times of drought. During the seedling stage, you should check the growth of its roots. If you find that there are too few root nodules, you should add a little fertilizer and build up the soil appropriately. In addition, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus fertilizers should be added every year.

3. Weeding

Leucaena After the seeds are sown, they will usually start to come out in 5 to 15 days. It needs to be weeded 2 to 3 times during the seedling stage and when it turns green. When it grows to a height of 60 cm or when it has completely covered the ground, it can outcompete the weeds.

4. Thinning

Because of it The special sowing method makes it difficult for seedlings to emerge neatly. It often happens that 3 or 2 seedlings grow in the existing bags, but there are no seedlings in some bags, so it is necessary to remove the seedlings on the seedbed. Transplant it into a nutrient bag without seedlings, and then replenish the seedlings. In addition, transplant more than one plant in the bag. Generally, thinning and transplanting cannot be done at any time. It is best to do it in the evening, and then water it enough and thoroughly, so that it can grow faster. .
