Growing technology
Tall andiz can be planted and propagated in all soil types of Uzbekistan. But if the meadow, sandy or slightly healthy soil loam, light upon light.
The roots are very deep, so plowing before planting should be carried out at a depth of 30 cm. Before plowing, 200 kg of superphosphate is applied per hectare. Nitrogen fertilizers are applied in the first year, during the period of 2–3-leaf emergence, as well as during the formation of regenerating buds (July) at 100 kg per hectare. Propagated by seeds. Seeds are sown dry in spring or autumn at the rate of 10-12 kg per hectare, row spacing at 70 cm. Seeds are sown to a depth of 0.5–1 cm. In 7-10 days the seeds germinate and the grass is formed, in the period of 2-3 leaves germination, in the annual crop area, each bush spacing is 10-15 cm, at the same time this process is carried out by weeding. Given that the central root network of tall andiz is strong and well developed, it is watered every 20-25 days at the following times: May-1, June-2, July-2, August-1/2, September-1, a total of 7-8 in the first year times, watered 6–7 times in the second year. In the first year the plant forms a cone of 70 leaves up to 70 cm long. Tuganak - the cross section of the root tip reaches 5 cm during the season. It is a thick cylindrical, 7 cm long structure, often with second-order thick roots extending from its base. The average weight of such an annual undried root reaches 73.6 g, and some up to 200 g. A two- and three-year-old plant is acceptable for obtaining seeds and roots. The amount of fertilizer to be applied per hectare: phosphorus fertilizers 200, and nitrogen fertilizers once in June, 100-200 kg.
