If it is cultivated in bare land, it can also build a canopy, plant some other crops (corn, sunflower, etc.) or take other shading measures. The light resistance of one to two-year students is relatively weak, and it is better to control the canopy density between 0.6 and 0.7; the light resistance of three to four-year students is slightly stronger, and it is OK to control it between 0.4 and 0.5.

Water content: generally, the water content of the soil should be controlled within the range of 20-30%. If it is less than 15%, it can be irrigated; if it is more than 30%, it needs to be drained. Especially in the rainy season, drainage is very important.

Fertilizer: in the first year after transplanting, the fertilizer can be applied outside the root, once after leaf spreading, once during the pothos period. After the second year of transplanting, the treatment will be different. In addition to foliar fertilization, the root side topdressing is also needed.

Soil loosening and weeding: three times a year, the first time after emergence, the second time in early June, the third time after seed collection.
