Artificial Cultivation Method of Rush Grass: The primary breeding method involves using ramets, which are vegetative parts that can grow into new plants. This technique is effective and widely used in cultivating rush grass. 1. Land Selection and Preparation: Choose paddy fields that are well-drained and easy to irrigate. Before planting, plow the field thoroughly, break up the soil, and level it. Apply organic manure as a base fertilizer to enrich the soil and ensure healthy growth. 2. Planting: The best time for planting is during spring. Dig up the old rhizomes (also known as "old cockroaches" in local terms) and divide them into 8–10 sections. These sections should be planted like rice, with a spacing of 30–45 cm between rows to allow enough room for the plants to grow. Field Management: 1. Cultivation and Weeding: The first weeding should take place in March or April, when the new seedlings have emerged. At this stage, the old rhizomes should be pressed into the mud to prevent them from spreading. A second weeding is done in June to remove any weeds that may hinder growth. 2. Fertilization and Irrigation: Fertilizing is usually done together with weeding, twice a year. The main fertilizer used is animal manure, and some chemical fertilizer can also be added if needed. During the seedling stage, keep the water shallow to promote strong root development. With proper care, the rush grass can be harvested continuously for 3–4 years. Harvesting and Processing: Rush grass is typically harvested in autumn when the shoot tips begin to dry out. After cutting the stalks, they are slightly dried and then tied with large bamboo needles. The rush grass is placed between two bamboo pieces, and the needle is used to pierce through the stem. By pulling both ends of the bamboo in opposite directions, the inner core (lamp heart) is extracted. The remaining part is twisted into a small handle and dried completely. Once dried, the rush grass is bundled and stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from pressure or moisture to maintain quality.
