Licorice planting technology and full analysis of the profitability of yield per mu
Licorice is one of the most important medicinal plants in China, and its cultivation technology and economic benefits have been highly valued. The understanding and proficiency of its cultivation technology can not only ensure the quality of Chinese medicinal materials, but also create good economic benefits for farmers. Through the analysis of soil selection, seed treatment, sowing timing and method, field management, harvest and processing, the key points in licorice cultivation were elaborated in detail, and a comprehensive and feasible guidance on licorice cultivation was put forward according to the specific benefits per mu.
First of all, on the premise of determining whether licorice can grow normally, it is necessary to carry out a good soil environment screening. Although it is highly resilient to drought stress, it is best planted on sandy or sandy loam soils, which are loosely structured and permeable, which is conducive to plant growth and water storage. During the planting process, it is necessary to pay attention to the drainage of the soil to prevent root diseases and root rot in the soil. Too much acidity or too much acidity will adversely affect the accumulation of active substances and the production of medicinal materials. In China, due to the unique local soil environment, especially the saline-alkali and waterlogg-prone areas are not suitable for cultivation, it has been studied.
Secondly, in order to improve the sowing quality of licorice, appropriate measures must be taken. Before sowing, the common method is to soak the seeds in hot water, and the soaking time is about 24 hours, so as to activate the embryo, increase its water absorption and germination, and then increase the germination rate. In addition, modern mechanical methods can also be used to break the hard shell of the seed, improve the moisture permeability of the seed embryo, and promote its germination.
Secondly, in different periods, different planting methods play an important role in the uniformity of seed germination and the growth and development in the later stage. In spring and autumn, under the conditions of higher temperature, higher temperature and higher soil moisture, seeds can germinate quickly and promote the growth of seedlings. This is done in the range of 3 5 cm, which not only allows the seeds to be fully combined with the soil, but also prevents them from being buried too deep and difficult to germinate. The spacing is 30 40 cm, and the row spacing is 15 20 cm, which not only ensures the planting area of each variety, but also ensures the planting area of each variety. In this way, not only can the normal growth of licorice be guaranteed, but also the production cost can be effectively reduced.
In the field production process, delicate work is particularly important. After sowing, the seedlings should be comprehensively inspected to ensure that the seedlings are fully seedling, and appropriate watering should be carried out according to the climatic conditions, soil moisture, etc., so that the water and soil are not permeable. During the growth period, in order to prevent weeds from competing for nutrients, timely and efficient tillage is required to improve soil aeration. In order to improve the growth and development of licorice rhizomes, phosphorus and potassium should be appropriately added according to their growth period and growth and development characteristics to improve their quality and yield. In order to ensure the healthy growth of licorice, it is necessary to do a good job in the monitoring and prevention of pests and diseases.
In terms of harvesting and handling, it is usually ready to be harvested after three to four years of careful cultivation. The harvested licorice needs to be thoroughly washed and dried to reduce the moisture content during the storage process, so as to reduce the risk of mold during the storage process and enhance the stability of storage. According to preliminary estimates, 2000 3000 kg of dried licorice can be produced per mu, and the dry weight is 300 500 kg after drying. Judging from the current market price, a pound of dried meat is about 20 yuan to 60 yuan a catty, so that you can earn 630,000 yuan per mu of land. However, this income is only a reference, and the real situation will be subject to market fluctuations, planting costs (including land rent, seed fees, fertilizer costs, labor costs, etc.), yield and other factors, so when making an investment decision to plant licorice, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive evaluation according to local market conditions and planting conditions.
In short, licorice cultivation is a comprehensive industry, from land selection, seed treatment, to field management, harvesting and processing, each process requires strict scientific and delicate processes. Only by fully grasping the above-mentioned key processes, and according to production practices and adapting measures to local conditions, can they obtain high yield and effective cultivation, make it a precious Chinese medicinal material, and make it a tangible economic and social benefit.
