How is Zhimu planted? Zhimu is a kind of Chinese medicinal material with high medicinal value. It can be harvested after two or three years of planting. It is usually harvested in spring and autumn. Poplar, apricot, pear, apple, osmanthus, peach, plum, and big apricot can be used as the mother of the forest. Today we are going to learn and understand the cultivation techniques of the undergrowth. I. Selection and land preparation The selection of intercropped forest land is best for sandy loam with sunny terrain, good drainage, large soil porosity and loose soil. Before the preparation of the ground, every 667 square meters should be uniformly applied with 2000-3000 kg of decomposed chicken manure and 30-40 kg of superphosphate. Use the rotary tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of 25 cm. After loosening, the land is leveled, and then the raft is made. The width of the raft is 120-130 cm, depending on the terrain. Second, sowing and planting Under the forest, the mother can be used to breed seeds, or it can be planted by roots. Sowing and breeding, the spring sowing time is in the middle and late April, ditching between the forest rows, the row spacing is 30-35 cm, and the ditch depth is 2-2.5 cm. The sowing in the ditch should be uniform, and the seeding amount per 667 square meters is 1.5 to 2.0 kg. After the sowing, cover soil, flattening, suppression, and watering. The surface should be kept moist within 20 days after sowing, and it can be emerged after about 20 days of sowing. After rooting, when the spring soil is thawed, before the germination of the mother, in the pre-completed sputum, the rowing distance is 30-35 cm, the plant spacing is 15-20 cm, and the depth is 6-7 cm. Cut the roots of Zhimu with bud head into segments of 4-6 cm long, plant one section per hole, and shoot the head upwards. The planting amount is 100 kg per 667 square meters. After planting, cover soil and water. Third, field management After the planting or sowing of Zhimu, try to keep the soil in the garden moist. When the mother seedlings are 3 to 4 cm high, loosen the soil and remove the weeds in time. When the seedling height is 7 to 10 cm, the seedlings are fixed at a plant spacing of 15 to 20 cm. If it is drought after the seedling is fixed, it should be properly watered. Cultivation with the roots of Zhimu rhizome, the growth of the year is slow, pay attention not to flood irrigation. Waiting for the next year to enter a strong growth, and then increase the amount of irrigation. In the second year of sowing or planting, when the mother seedling height is 15-20 cm, 20 kg of superphosphate and 10 kg of ammonium sulfate are applied per 667 square meters. Ditching between the lines of the Zhimu plant and covering the soil after application. For the Zhimu who does not need to keep the seed, when the Zhimu flowering, it is necessary to cut the flower buds in time, and enter the hot and rainy season in July and August, and pay attention to the elimination of water in the field. Fourth, pest control Zhimu has strong disease resistance, and the aboveground part is generally not infected with diseases. The underground pests are mainly cockroaches. The prevention and treatment method is to mix 15 to 30 kg of fine soil with 10 g of 10% diazinon granules per 667 m2 before sowing or planting with Zhimu, and mix it in the seeding ditch or planting hole. If there is any damage during the growth period, the rooting is carried out. Planting roots with 50% phoxim emulsifiable concentrate 1000 times or 80% trichlorfon WP 800 times in the heavier field of cockroaches, the amount of perfusion is 150-250 ml per plant, which can kill A larvae near the mother's rhizosphere. V. Harvesting and processing Zhimu was excavated in spring and autumn. The spring excavation is carried out before the plants are germinated after the soil is thawed; the autumn excavation is carried out after the stems and leaves of the ground are yellowed and before the freezing. Plan the underground roots and remove the stems, roots and soil. In the spring and autumn, the fresh and well-known mothers have a high rate of drying and good quality. The cultivation period is 3 to 4 years. Processing method: The harvested fresh mother is placed in a sunny empty space or on the drying table, and it is beaten by the pile, and it is turned over once every 5 to 7 days, repeated several times until it is dried. And then carry out further processing as needed.
