Planting technique of Sheep Milk Fruit

Soil: goat milk fruit is suitable for planting in acidic, neutral and calcareous soil. Sowing: the picked goat milk fruit will be piled up, and after fermentation and decay, the seeds will be washed and sown. The strip-furrow sowing method can be used and can be transplanted in about 30 days. Cuttings: cuttings should be carried out at the beginning of April and must be properly shaded. Reasonable close planting: about 6000-7000 plants can be planted per hectare. Late management: regular ploughing and weeding, fertilization, timely pruning.

1. The growth environment of goat milk fruit

The main results are as follows: 1. Goat milk fruit is relatively cold-resistant, it can survive the winter in the open field in the south of North China, it can grow normally at minus 8 ℃, the suitable growth temperature is 24-34 ℃, and it has strong resistance to high temperature and low temperature.

2. Goat milk likes to grow under the woods on the hillside or in damp valleys. It has strong shade tolerance, but it does not avoid strong light exposure.

3. Goat milk fruit does not have high requirements for soil, generally can grow in acidic, neutral and calcareous soil, and is more resistant to drought and barren, but not resistant to waterlogging.

Second, the planting method of goat milk fruit

1. Sowing seeds

Generally, after picking the fruit in the middle and late May of each year, it is piled up, let it ferment and rot by itself, and then wash the seeds clean before sowing.

Because the germination rate of seeds is only about half, it is necessary to increase the sowing rate appropriately. The strip-furrow sowing method can be used for sowing, the row spacing is about 15-20cm, and then the soil is covered with 1.5cm or so. In order to ensure a certain humidity, a layer of grass can be covered.

After sowing, the temperature will rise, and all the seedlings will be ready in about 30 days. At this time, we can set up a shed for shade and apply fertilizer twice. We can divide the seedlings and transplant them next spring and come out of the nursery after 1-2 years of cultivation.

2. Cuttage

Generally, goat milk fruit is cut at the beginning of April. 1-2-year-old branches should be selected and cut into 12-15cm segments. 1-2 leaves can be left and inserted into soil about 5-7cm.

It is necessary to set up a shed for shade when cutting in the open nursery bed, and the pot planting also needs to be maintained under the shade shed, which will take root in about 2 months, and can be transplanted in the seedbed for a period of time.

3. Reasonable close planting

The ability of goat milk fruit to adapt to the environment is relatively strong, the crown is relatively small, more suitable for close planting, generally 1-1.5m, about 6000-7500 plants per hectare.

The planting pit should be dug before planting, with a diameter and depth of about 60-80 cm. The base fertilizer can be applied to farm manure and can be watered thoroughly after planting.

4. Post-management

After the goat milk fruit is planted, in order to promote the growth of seedlings, it is necessary to carry out regular intertillage weeding and fertilizer application in that year, and then about 1-2 times a year.

After the forest is formed, the overdense branches need to be cut off every autumn. in order to maintain ventilation and light, the drooping branches and tillers can be cut off, which will bear fruit in about 3 years.
