How to grow cultivated lavender

Lavender grassland is produced in the Mediterranean region, with Lavenderaceae, perennial subshrubs. The shape of the leaves differs depending on the variety. The inflorescences belong to the spear-like verticillium. The color ranges from dark purple to pink, but some varieties are white and the whole plant has aromatic odors. After many years of introduction and research, we believe that Hokkaido Lavender has a very high ornamental value and is a good variety for modern agricultural tourism. Now we introduce its breeding and cultivation techniques as follows.

I. Morphological characteristics and growth characteristics

Hokkaido Lavender is a famous herb plant, plant height 20 to 100 cm, leaves alternate, oval tipped leaves, spikes, flowers blue-purple, luxuriant, "quiet perfume plant" title, flowering time 5 to 10 month. Lavender does not require strict soil, prefers sunlight, is cold-resistant, drought-tolerant, poor-tolerant, resistant to salinity, is not resistant to high temperature and humidity, and can grow at 5-30°C, but the temperature in midsummer is longer than that of 38-40°C. Plant growth and flowering have poor performance. After May, additional ventilation is required to reduce the temperature of the environment and keep it cool.

Second, breeding seedlings

Can be divided into seed propagation and cutting propagation.

1. Seed propagation: seeds can be sown and propagated in April. The minimum temperature for seed germination is 8-12°C, and the optimum temperature is 20-25°C. Colonization can be carried out in May, but the variation of seed reproduction of Lavender is larger and the seed price is higher. , so the production of cutting propagation. Lavender, which is suitable for cutting propagation, has a strong adaptability and can be carried out in the spring and autumn. Even though it can be planted in summer, management is more laborious.

2. Cutting propagation: Generally, the top plant buds (approx. 5-10 cm) or the tender and non-lignified shoot cuttings are selected from healthy plants without pests and diseases. When the cuttings are cut, the leaves at the bottom 2 sections are removed, and then the “root sun” rooting agent is used. 100 times liquid immersed and immersed for 1 to 2 weeks. The cutting medium can be mixed uniformly with river sand and elliptical in a ratio of 2:1, and put into a 510 tray for cutting. After the planting, the seedlings were placed in a cool, ventilated environment. The soil was kept moist for the first 3 days and then depending on the weather, it was ensured that the shoots were not wrinkled or dried and the survival rate was improved. The management of cutting seedlings is relatively convenient. No fertilizer is used throughout the seedling period, and more production is used.

Third, transplant management

Lavender seedlings can be transplanted after rooting for 1 week. When transplanting, lavender seedlings should be as muddy as possible to ensure the survival rate. Before the planting, the soil shall be fully watered and drenched, and the good seedlings shall be sprayed with water once more. When planting, the saplings of lavender seedlings should be level with the soil and cannot be planted too deep or too shallow. The spacing between the rows is 2025 cm. In the first 3 days of seedling, watering should be done once a day in the evening, depending on the weather conditions. Fertilize after 5 days, wet the soil before fertilization, apply a little compound fertilizer 8 centimeters from the lavender, and water the soil as dry as the next day. After 10 days, the lavender grows to the top 1 times, giving birth to more branches. After it grows for about 20 days, if there are few branches and it is not dense, apply 1 fat and top it once, otherwise lavender will Do not apply the second fertilizer and then topping. However, if the fertilizer is too full, it can easily cause lavender lodging, excessive foliage, etc., causing stalk rot. Lavender usually blooms after about 30 days.

When lavender starts to pump buds, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is sprayed once a week until flowering, which can promote flower spikes longer, pedicels firm, colorful flowers, not easy to lodging, flowering neat and beautiful.

Lavender must be trimmed after a flower is cut, and old branches cut off and fertilized. Let the plants regenerate new shoots and bloom again.

IV. Pest Control

Lavender diseases and insect pests are less, and insect pests are mainly whitefly. Whitefly is mainly concentrated in the back of the leaves, which causes the leaves to fade, curl, and yellow leaves. It can be treated with thiamethoxam and acetamiprid spray. If there is more whitefly, spray it once every 5 days. The diseases mainly include stalk rot and downy mildew, which can be sprayed with 600-800 times of Radium Mn Mn solution or 0.2% wet solution of 65% zeocin.
