Site preparation: Turn the ground 20 cm, apply farmyard manure before turning, the row spacing of the ridges is 40 cm-50 cm, or make a flat head. Because the seeds are small, the ground must be leveled and raked.

seeding: There are two types of direct seeding and seedling transplanting. The suitable sowing methods are strip sowing or sowing. The specific sowing time is determined by the new time on the banana. Spring sowing should be 6-8 days before the end of the final frost, in order to balance the market supplyIt can be planted every 10 days to 15 days; in order to be marketed in winter, the sowing time should be 80 days to 90 days before the first frost period.

Field management: after all the seedlings emerge and the time of seedlings, the spacing between 2 cm and 5 cm; the ridge planting should be cultivated and weeded in time; the artificial weeding for the sowing, small row spacing and continuous sowing can also be used with plowing or grass gramChemical herbicides prevent gramineous grass dyeing; the plots with higher soil fertility do not need to be topdressed, and those with poor soil fertility are used to create nitric acid once at the seedling height of 15 cm. Water is appropriate for drought.
