Collect the seeds when they are fully mature, dry them in a dry place indoors in time, take them out after the peel cracks, and store them after drying to prevent mildew and oil production. Plantar fertilizer should be applied to the nursery, and it should be finely leveled and watered after digging.

Germinate the seeds before sowing, and then sow the seeds according to the specifications of 20-25 cm row spacing. The sowing amount is 0.5 kg-1.2 kg per 6,7 square meters. After sowing, cover it with 0.5 cm thick fine soil and plastic film to keep it warm and moist. When the seedling height is 5-6 cm, the plant spacing is 12- 16 cm. Do a good job in fertilization, seedling raising, irrigation and intertillage weeding.
