Amaranth is one of the more common vegetables. It is also a two-season vegetable like other vegetables. It is basically divided into spring and autumn. Spring can be planted in February/March. Can you grow amaranth in September? Follow this article. Let's see.


Can I grow amaranth in September?


Autumn is a season suitable for planting leeks. In many places, the choice of leeks in autumn is chosen after September. Before sowing, the leeks can be soaked and then sown, so that the leeks grown will be more tidy.


Conditions for growing amaranth


1. Temperature: Amaranth prefers a cool place. It is more resistant to cold and heat. The optimum temperature for germination is about 12 degrees, and the growth temperature is about 15-25 degrees. It is especially good for the part that is born in the underground. Low temperature effect.


2, light: Amaranth resistance is relatively strong, but if the light is too weak, it will make the photosynthetic products less, which will cause the yield of amaranth to be low.


3. Moisture: The humidity in the living environment of leek should be guaranteed at 670%, and the soil moisture to be grown should be 890%.


4. Soil: As a hotbed for cultivating leeks, the pH of the soil is 5.5-6.5, which requires relatively rich fertilizer.


Precautions for growing amaranth


1. The ability of amaranth to excavate is very low, so pay attention to the coverage of the soil, not too thick.


2. Amaranth requires less fertilizer in the seedling stage, but it needs rich fertilizer in the growth stage. Therefore, in order to prevent premature aging, attention should be paid to the supply of fertilizer during the growth of amaranth.


3, the temperature of germination of leeks is about 15 degrees, the time is about 10-20 days, if it exceeds 20 degrees, there may be no germination.


4. Amaranth is not easy to fertilize when twitching, but fertilization can promote tillering after flowering, and it is not possible to use only a single nitrogen fertilizer when fertilizing.


The above are some of the points and precautions raised in this article on the cultivation of amaranth, especially reminding everyone to pay attention to the temperature adjustment when planting amaranth, because the weather will become cooler after the autumn, even if the leek contains high cold tolerance, but long-term cold Growth at a temperature will slow down the growth rate and slow down the development of the root system, which will cause the leek to change more easily during the seasonal changes. Therefore, when planting leeks, it is necessary to increase the amount of roots of leeks in order to ensure that the chances of leeks freezing in winter are reduced.
