[Cultivation] Biological characteristics: It prefers warm and humid climate, is slightly cold-resistant, and can overwinter in the fields in Beijing. Afraid of drought. It can be grown in most soils, but sandy soil with good drainage is preferred.

Cultivation techniques, propagation by seeds. Harvest when most of the seeds turn brown, place in a cool place to ripen for several days, and then dry and thresh.

The temperature in the south is relatively high, so autumn sowing can be adopted. In September and October, holes should be dug with a row spacing of 30 cm and a depth of 2-4 cm with a flat bottom. After applying human and animal manure water, 7.5 kg of seeds can be used for every 1hm2. Mix with wood ash and spread evenly in the holes for higher yield.

In the north, sowing is done in March and April. The row spacing is 25-33cm, and small shallow furrows of 1-1.3cm are dug. The seeds are evenly sown in the furrows and covered with 2-4cm of soil. Use 7.5-12kg of seeds per 1hm2 after enough soil is applied. The yield is relatively low. Thin out the seedlings when they are 6-10cm tall. For row sowing, leave seedlings at a spacing of 10-15cm between plants. For hole sowing, leave 3-4 seedlings in each hole.

Field management: loosen the soil and weed in time during the growing period. Top dressing is mainly nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once when the seedlings are 15cm tall and after harvest. In addition, top dressing should be applied according to the seedlings. Pay attention to irrigation and drainage to keep the field moist.

For disease and pest control, the disease includes brown spot disease, which occurs in May and June. The diseased leaves can be removed and burned in time; crop rotation should be implemented, and 1:1:100 Bordeaux liquid should be sprayed before and in the early stage of the disease. To prevent and control leaf spot disease, remove dead branches and leaves and burn them in winter, and spray 1000 times diluted 50% Ridomil.

Fusarium wilt can be treated by timely dredging ditches and draining water and lowering the temperature after rain. In the early stage of the disease, remove the diseased plants and water the diseased holes with 1000 times diluted 70% dichlorodiphenylmethane powder or 500 times diluted 40% carbendazim suspension. The pests include red spider mites.
