Chufa plant is a perennial but it is grown an annual crop and as annual crops. In the first year of its development it forms a powerful shrub 40 to 80 cm of the beams are narrow, long, somewhat rigid leaves. In every Bush of the beams is 240. From one nut you can get more than 400 nodules. The shape of the tubers — long, oval, but sometimes nearly round. The length is 1-3 cm, width — 0,5-1 cm. the Flesh is white, sweet.
Chufa nuts contain oil (25%), starch (about 20%), sugar, and other nutrients, the amount of which varies from place to place and growing conditions.
Chufa oil is light yellow in color with a smell of almonds, belong to the group Alucobond (non-drying) oils with an oleic acid content. The composition of vegetable oil nodules of chufa includes essential fatty acids, the content of which in food of animal origin is not enough. This oil is extracted and used as food. It finds application in industry — the production of high-grade toilet soap. Confectionaries Qufu add in the chocolate, cocoa, candy, cakes, making halva. According to experts, dishes made from the chufa well absorbed by the body. Earth almonds eaten raw or baked. Delicious cakes and cookies with crushed nodules. Craftsmen cook them chufa coffee and cocoa. Prepared from chufa milk, which is beneficial for people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases..
When cultured in Europe and Africa chufa give yields of 5-6 tons of dried tubers per hectare. In the garden, each Bush can give 80 to 100 grams, depending on growing conditions, farming practices and care.
Chufa plants can tolerate light frosts to -1°C. But the fit of nodules in the soil should be done when the soil is at a depth of 12-15 cm has warmed to 12°C.
Before planting the tubers are soaked for three days in water, then sow in the soil in rows (between rows is 60-70 cm intervals, in the range of 20-30 cm), 1 but it is better 3-4 nodule in the nest." . Planting depth for sandy soils 8-9 cm, to heavier loamy — 5 6 see for early sowing in badly-heated soil shoots appear on the 15-20-th day, if the soil is warmed, on the 8-10th day.
Chufa is undemanding to soils, but best yields it gives in loose, light and soil nutrients .
When the bushes chufa will grow, they need a little hill, almost like potatoes. Additional light earthing up should be carried out after weeding, irrigation and heavy rains, otherwise it can strip the root system of plants.
In the hot summer(with the yellowing of the tips of the leaves) 1-2 time to spend watering plants with cold water.
The dressing plant of complex fertilizer during the vegetation period spend in two weeks. Very useful slurry, diluted with water in the ratio 1:3, and wood ash.
Diseases and pests on this plant not yet seen, but may be mole crickets, worms, wireworms and ants.
By late summer, the plants reach a height up to 60 cm, But better to dig them in late September, when it begins to turn yellow tops. This late harvest promotes good aging nodules and the accumulation of large amounts of oil that mostly comes at the end of the growing season.
Planting and care of Qufu is simple, but the harvest has its challenges. In large areas without appropriate mechanization can not do.
After harvesting they are dried in the sun or indoors so that the skin appeared wrinkles and lay in storage in the basement. Well they are stored and when stored in room conditions.
"Common mistakes in cultivation: close planting, abundant watering, the shaded area, premature cleaning. In such cases, the nodules turn out wrinkled and very hard."
