Agricultural technology for growing Tulsi seeds
1. Variety selection
When choosing a tulsi variety, you need to consider the following factors:
- Purpose of cultivation: Tulsi can be used as a food, ornamental or medicinal crop. For each purpose, there are different varieties of tulsi that have certain properties.
- Plant height: Different varieties of tulsi vary in plant height. There are varieties that reach a height of 30 cm, and varieties that reach a height of 1 m.
- Leaf Color: Tulsi leaves come in a variety of colors, including green, purple and red.
2. Soil preparation
Tulsi is an unpretentious plant, so any soil can be used to grow it, but it grows best in fertile, loose and well-drained soils with a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction.
3. Landing
Tulsi can be grown by sowing seeds in open ground or by seedlings.
When sowing seeds in open ground, tulsi seeds are sown in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches +5 °C. The seeding depth is 1-2 cm.
When growing seedlings, tulsi seeds are sown in March-April in seedling boxes or containers. Shoots appear in 7-10 days. Seedlings are planted in separate pots or cups in the phase of 2-3 true leaves. Seedlings are planted in open ground in May-June, when the threat of frost has passed.
4. Plant care
Tulsi is an unpretentious plant, but to obtain good growth and development, the following measures must be taken:
- Watering: Tulsi is a moisture-loving plant, so during the growing season it is necessary to water the plants regularly, preventing the soil from drying out.
- Fertilizing: During the period of active plant growth, 2-3 fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out. The first feeding is carried out in the phase of 3-4 true leaves, the second - in the flowering phase, the third - in the fruiting phase.
- Weeding: It is necessary to weed regularly so that they do not choke the plants.
5. Harvest
Tulsi leaves can be collected throughout the season. Leaves are cut with scissors or a sickle.
