How To Plant A Sunflower Cultivation ?

Things that need to be prepared in the power plant sunflower seeds is the flagship of the sunflower plant seeds. Sunflowers are known as the plant that requires land that get enough light from the Sun, although it can also be planted as an ornamental plant (cultivated at home). This plant can grow and develop in all  the sensual nature will be cool, for example in the plateau mountains with the weather and the humidity so it can from sunlight shines directly. But not infrequently also plant a sunflower it grows and thrives on Plains but has a certain elevation range of achievement of surface ocean water. Sunflowers can be cultivated by collecting lots of sunflower seeds as a superior seedlings taken from the first flower on the flower stem plant.

Steps to planting sunflowers are as follows :

Process for seeds

Seeds from seeded varieties that have been selected, first soaked in a liquid fertilizer which has been given a total of 1 litre of water and leave for 1 hour. Then put it on land that was previously given a wetland or organic fertilizer. Put in place with the free air exposed to the Sun to plant these seeds germinate faster and bigger. If the media is not enough and the process of land nursery only required just a little, then we can using pot plastic/poly bag as media seeding. And if in the land of great size/, we can use the system for dike wall (the loose soil is elevated as dykes).

The process of seeding until the sow the seeds take up to 10 days and high superior seedlings grow to 15-20 cm. If it was up to that time, the plant was to be moved to a bigger media namely planting location. The land at that location have already been given fertilizer and compost to accelerate plant growth.

Planting

Sunflower crop was ready to move to the land of media had the land. Good planting distance is somewhat tenuous in order for plants to grow and develop properly, because if it is too dense it was feared would not plant gets adequate food. In one hole, just 1-2 seeds. The land used was spread the land which has been fertilizer.

Fertilization

In the initial stages in the process of planting, fertilizing is done from small scale first. Sow 3 kg of manure (droppings of chickens, goat, ox dung dung) per seedling. The second stage do as on hold at the time of the first plant was a month.

Maintenance

Don't forget, apart from the provision of fertilizers and watering note also weeding land around the plant to help the circulation of oxygen needed by the roots to absorb water. Revamping drains for disposal, spraying fungicides, plant pests and disorders that bias assaulted also must be considered. This sun flower buds will begin to look upon the age of the plant are stepped on 2 months are accompanied with branches on toll roads leaves the main branches. In general these plants every single stem plants can produce 12-14 sunflower stalks. Do this on the plant watering every day one time only. Sunflowers can be aided by insects for pollination/fertilization process (of enrichment on the stamens and stigma) to produce seeds for the growth of new seed.

Picking

Harvesting sunflowers with a limb cut off way among trees and flowers. In 1 sunflower stems can undergo the process of picking as many as 10-12 pieces of sunflowers. Interesting isn't it ?

In Agribusiness
