October 18 10:08:38, 2018
The woody honeysuckle of the four seasons is a new breed that has been modified and selected from the wild vine honeysuckle buds. The variety has early flowering, long flowering period (from April to September in the lunar calendar), high yield, good quality, and resistance to extensive cultivation and management. The average annual production of honeysuckle acres (1 mu = 667 square meters, the same below) produces 60 kilograms, the second year of about 150 kilograms per mu, high yield after 3 years up to 200 kilograms per mu. At present, the market price is 24 to 36 yuan per kilogram, the economic benefit is very significant, and it can be profitable for 50 years by planting for one year. The woody honeysuckle roots are well-developed in the four seasons. The main roots are thick, with many hairy roots. The regeneration ability is very strong. The degree of lignification of the main stem is high, and the plants that grow more than one year are shrub-like trees. Branches are soft and tough, many branches, old branches look brown, cork often stripped. The buds grow fast, the buds are concentrated, and the flowering period lasts more than 5 months. Strong adaptability to the soil, regardless of mountains, plains, hills, gullies, clay, sand and soil pH value of 5.6 to 8.4 can normally grow, strict requirements on climatic conditions, can be planted in the area of ​​200 to 3800 meters above sea level . Therefore, folks have “killing dead crops and dead grass, and freezing pomegranates and sunburning melons are not hindering honeysuckle,†said. Its high yield cultivation points are as follows. 1. Prepare the soil for deep weeding, fine hoeing, leveling, and clean the weeds. For ease of management, a width of 80 to 90 cm is made. 2. Digging planting holes in the middle of digging planting points, depth, width of each 20 to 30 cm, two holes spacing 100 cm. 3. Apply basic fertilizer waste, ash residues, human waste, decomposed pig manure, manure and sheep manure. Apply 3 kilograms per hole, apply to the side of the planting hole, and mix it with the soil. 4. Planting woody honeysuckle cuttings seedlings, generally 20 to 35 centimeters high, before planting the best 800 times the rooting powder solution dip root 2 to 4 hours, in the appropriate planting period (Lunar 2 ~ April, 10 ~ 11 At the end of the month, plant the seedlings on the other side of the planting hole where the base fertilizer has been applied. The roots must be separated, filled with fine soil, and compacted. The depth of soil cover is based on the depth of seedling cutting. In sunny days, watering roots are needed. If every sunny day is watered once every 3 to 4 days, about 660 acres of seedlings will be planted. 5. Growth management After sprouting, the seedlings should be fertilized in time, mainly with dilute human excreta, and should be applied in small quantities several times. At the same time pay attention to timely removal of weeds. Woody honeysuckle in the woody season needs adequate supply of fertilizer and water throughout the growth period, especially in the flowering period, the plants consume large amounts of nutrients, and each time after flower collection, fertilizer must be recovered in time to restore normal growth. Generally each compost or manure urine 15 to 20 kilograms. After the beginning of autumn, each flower and then apply fertilizer 10 to 20 kg of manure and ash mixed fertilizer, can also add a small amount of compound fertilizer, urea and other fertilizers, in the place 20 to 50 cm away from the root to open into the ditch. After fertilization, a soil should be used to facilitate the effective rot of the fertilizer and promote the growth of autumn shoots. Since the flowering season of honeysuckle in woody seasons lasts for more than 5 months (about 4 to 5 per thousand flowers), in order to reduce the consumption of nutrients, it is necessary to promote the shoots to grow into flowering shoots, and the branches must be trimmed every time picking is completed. The principle of pruning is to keep the length of the cut short, cut thin to keep the rough, cut weak and strong, make the middle high, low around, so that the crown is umbrella shape, in order to facilitate ventilation and light and easy harvesting. 6. Pest control Because honeysuckle contains chlorogenic acid substances, fewer pests and diseases occur. The main insect pests are aphids that can be treated with 2.5% kung fu or 10% imidacloprid plus water spray. 7. Harvesting and processing are green and white at the base of the buds, white at the top, full and best when not yet open. The honeysuckle harvested at this time is of good color and high medicinal value. The harvested flowers are evenly sprinkled on the clean concrete platform by hand and allowed to turn until they reach 80% dryness. After drying, bagging is sealed or sold.
