Oriole root, also known as Houttuynia cordata, is a Chinese herbal medicine that has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, diuresis and swelling. With people's pursuit of a healthy life, the market demand for origami is gradually increasing, so it is of great significance for farmers to master the planting methods and techniques of origami root. Below, we will introduce in detail the cultivation methods and techniques of folded ear roots.
1. Site selection and preparation.
Oriole roots prefer to grow in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, so when selecting a site, you should choose a place with high terrain, abundant sunlight, convenient water sources, and loose and fertile soil. Before planting, the soil should be deeply turned, loosened, fertilized, etc., to improve soil fertility and air permeability.
Second, the method of reproduction.
There are two types of propagation methods for folded ear roots: seed propagation and branch propagation. Seed propagation is generally carried out in the spring, and the seeds are evenly spread on the prepared seedbed, and then covered with a thin layer of soil to keep the soil moist, and germination can occur in about 10 days. Propagation is carried out in spring or autumn, when the mother plant is dug up and divided into several small plants, each of which should have a complete root system and aerial parts, and then transplanted according to a certain row spacing.
3. Field management.
1.Watering & Drainage: Origantic prefers a moist environment, so the soil should be kept moist during the growing period. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to drainage to avoid root rot caused by stagnant water.
2.Fertilization: Folded ear roots have a high demand for fertilizer, and should be fertilized at the right time during the growth period. In general, 7-10 days after transplanting, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once to promote plant growth; In the middle stage of growth, compound fertilizer can be applied once to meet the plant's demand for a variety of nutrients; One month before harvesting, potassium fertilizer can be applied once to improve the yield and quality of the folded ear roots.
3.Weeding and loosening: Weeding in the field is an important measure to maintain soil fertility and reduce pests and diseases. At the same time, regular soil loosening can improve soil permeability and promote root growth.
4.Pest control: The pest control of folded ear root should be based on prevention, strengthen field management, and improve the disease resistance of plants. Once pests and diseases are found, control measures should be taken in time, such as spraying pesticides and removing diseased plants.
4. Harvesting and processing.
The harvest of the roots of the folded ear is generally carried out one year after growth. At the time of harvesting, weeds and diseased plants should be removed from the field first, and then the whole folded ear root should be dug up, the soil should be shaken off, and the soil should be dried until it is semi-dry. Finally, tie the folded ears into small bundles and dry them until they are completely dry.
In terms of processing, the roots can be made into dry, fresh or extracted forms. Dry products can be stored for a long time, which is convenient for transportation and sales; Fresh products have better medicinal effects and are suitable for making traditional Chinese medicine decoctions; The extract is extracted from the active ingredients in the folded ear root through a certain process and made into capsules, tablets and other forms that are convenient for patients to take.
In short, mastering the planting methods and techniques of Folded Root is of great significance to improve the yield and quality of Folded Root. In the actual planting process, farmers should flexibly adjust the management measures according to the local climate, soil and other conditions to obtain better planting results. At the same time, we should also pay attention to protecting the ecological environment, rationally utilizing resources, and achieving sustainable development.
It is recommended that Houttuynia cordata fold ear root special fast-growing agent, strong rooting, strong seedlings, thick and tender whitening, yield increaser, disease resistance, yield increase fertilizer.
