Cinnamon is an evergreen tree that belongs to the Lauraceae family and is native to tropical regions such as China, India, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka. The bark, branches, leaves and fruits of cinnamon are rich in volatile oils, which are mainly used for food seasoning and medicine and health care. In recent years, with the in-depth research and development of cinnamon, its planting area has gradually expanded, and the planting technology has become increasingly mature.
First, the growth environment.
Cinnamon is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment, likes full sunlight, has weak cold tolerance, and is suitable for growing at a temperature of 20-30. During the planting process, choose a sandy loam with a deep soil layer, loose and fertile, and good drainage, while keeping the soil moist and avoiding water accumulation.
Second, the method of reproduction.
There are two ways of cinnamon propagation: seed propagation and asexual propagation. Seed propagation is generally sowing in spring, soaking the seeds in water for 2-3 days, removing them to dry and then sowing them into the seedbed, covering the straw to keep the soil moist. Asexual propagation can be carried out by cuttings, striping and dividing, and healthy branches or plants free of diseases and pests can be selected for propagation.
3. Cultivation management.
In the cultivation and management of cinnamon, attention should be paid to fertilization, pruning and pest control. Organic fertilizer should be applied once a year in spring and autumn, mainly with well-rotted farmhouse fertilizer, and at the same time with an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer. Pruning is mainly to adjust the shape of the tree, keep the tree ventilated and light, and promote growth. For the prevention and control of pests and diseases, it is necessary to focus on prevention, spray fungicides and insecticides regularly, and take timely measures to carry out pests and diseases once they are found.
4. Harvesting and processing.
Cinnamon is generally harvested in spring or autumn, and cinnamon trees that are more than 10 years old are selected for harvesting. Care should be taken to protect the tree during harvesting to avoid damage. After harvesting, the branches of the cinnamon tree are dried or dried and can be processed into products such as cinnamon powder or cinnamon oil. Attention should be paid to maintaining the quality and purity of raw materials during processing to ensure the quality and safety of products.
5. Precautions.
In the process of cinnamon planting, the following points should be noted: first, it is necessary to choose a suitable growth environment to ensure the suitability of soil, light and temperature; The second is to choose healthy seeds and propagation materials to avoid the spread of diseases and pests; Third, it is necessary to strengthen cultivation management, timely fertilization, pruning and pest control; Fourth, it is necessary to harvest and process reasonably to ensure the quality and safety of products.
In short, the cultivation of cinnamon needs to comprehensively consider the growth environment, breeding methods, cultivation management, harvesting and processing and other factors, and master scientific planting technology and management methods in order to obtain high-quality cinnamon products. At the same time, with the in-depth research and development of cinnamon, its application field will continue to expand, bringing more health and deliciousness to human beings.
