Honeysuckle planting and cultivation techniques
Honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle, is a plant with high economic and ecological value. Its flowers and leaves can be used as medicine, with the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood, antibacterial, etc., and are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, tea, health care products and other fields. In recent years, with people's increasing concern about health and environmental protection, the cultivation of honeysuckle has also received more and more attention. This article will introduce the cultivation technology of honeysuckle to help more people understand and master this technology.
1. Biological characteristics of honeysuckle.
Honeysuckle belongs to the genus Lonicera in the honeysuckle family and is an evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub or small tree. Its leaves are oval or ovate, dark green and shiny; The flowers are white or yellow, fragrant, and the buds are stick-shaped, white at first and gradually turn yellow. Honeysuckle likes a warm and humid environment, the suitable temperature for growth is 15 -30, and the cold tolerance is strong, and it can grow in an environment of about -10. At the same time, honeysuckle prefers a sunny environment, but also has a certain resistance to negativity.
Second, the planting technology of honeysuckle.
1.Methods of reproduction.
There are two main methods of honeysuckle propagation: seed propagation and cuttings propagation. Seed propagation generally takes place in the spring, when the seeds are sown in a seedbed, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then watered to moisturize. Propagation by cuttings is to select semi-lignified branches during the growing season, cut them into small sections about 10 cm long, insert them into the soil, and keep them moist.
2.Land selection and land preparation.
Honeysuckle does not have strict requirements for soil, but in order to obtain better yield and quality, plots with deep, fertile and well-drained soil layers should be selected. When preparing the land, it is necessary to plough and rake finely, apply sufficient base fertilizer, and generally apply 2000-3000 kg of well-rotted organic fertilizer per mu.
3.Planting density.
The planting density of honeysuckle should be determined according to factors such as soil fertility, variety and cultivation method. Generally speaking, 300-500 plants can be planted per mu with a row spacing of 15-2 meters, plant spacing of 1-15 meters.
4.Field management.
During the growth of honeysuckle, proper field management is required. It mainly includes measures such as loosening soil and weeding, pruning and shaping, fertilization and watering. Loosening soil and weeding can promote root development and nutrient uptake; Pruning and shaping can control the height and shape of the plant, improve ventilation and light efficiency; Fertilization and watering should be determined according to the needs of the growth and the condition of the soil.
3. Pest control of honeysuckle.
Pest control of honeysuckle is an important part of the planting and cultivation process. Common diseases include powdery mildew, leaf spot, etc., which can be prevented by strengthening field management and increasing organic fertilizer. In the event of a disease, it can be carried out with the corresponding chemical agent**. Common insect pests include aphids, red spiders, etc., which can be controlled by a combination of biological control and chemical control. In the process of pest control, attention should be paid to the safe use of drugs to avoid harm to the environment and the human body.
Fourth, the harvesting and processing of honeysuckle.
Honeysuckle is generally harvested in May to July, when the buds are full and the color turns from green to white. Harvesting should be carried out after the dew has dried in the morning on a sunny day, and it should be dried or dried immediately after harvesting. When drying, pay attention to controlling temperature and humidity to avoid burnt or discoloration. Dried honeysuckle should be stored in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture and insect damage.
In short, the cultivation of honeysuckle is a highly technical work, which requires knowledge of its biological characteristics, planting techniques, pest control, harvesting and processing. Only by planting and cultivating scientifically and rationally can we obtain high-quality and high-yield honeysuckle products. At the same time, with the continuous development of science and technology, it is believed that the planting and cultivation technology of honeysuckle will become more and more perfect, bringing more health and economic benefits to human beings.
