How to grow Hippophae rhamnoides and points for attention

Hippophae rhamnoides is a kind of plant that does not have high requirements for soil, so it can survive in desert areas, but there are differences between cultivating seabuckthorn in ordinary environment and desert environment, so we need to pay attention to what kind of problems we need to pay attention to. At the same time, you will know after reading this article.

How to grow seabuckthorn

1. Hippophae rhamnoides is a positive tree species, which likes light and can grow under sparse forest, but it can not adapt to the forest area with high canopy density. Hippophae rhamnoides is not very strict on soil, and is distributed in millet calcium soil, gray calcium soil, brown calcium soil, meadow soil and black protective soil. it can also grow in gravel soil, mild saline-alkali soil, sandy soil, and even in soft sandstone and semi-stony soil areas, but do not like the soil that is too clayey.

2. Hippophae rhamnoides has certain requirements for precipitation, which should generally be more than 400 mm in annual precipitation, if the precipitation is less than 400 mm, but it can also grow in floodplain, hills and valleys, but do not like stagnant water. The temperature requirement of Hippophae rhamnoides is not very strict, the extreme minimum temperature can reach-50 ℃, the extreme maximum temperature can reach 50 ℃, and the annual sunshine hours are 1500 to 3300 hours.

3. Hippophae rhamnoides seedlings are relatively delicate, afraid of strong light, high temperature and exposure, as well as stagnant water. However, once the roots of the seedlings are extended, the adaptability is enhanced. 1-year-old seedlings with a height of 5-8 cm can survive the winter safely. The growth of Hippophae rhamnoides accelerated from the second year, the first growth peak was between 4-6 years, and then slowed down. After an interval of 4 ~ 6 years, there was a second growth peak. However, due to different environments, the growth peak is also different in different areas. for example, the first growth peak in Qilian Mountain is in 8 Mel 10 years, and the second growth peak appears in 8 ~ 10 years.

4. Hippophae rhamnoides usually begins to bear fruit at the age of 3 years, and enters the full fruit stage at the age of 5 years, which lasts for about 4-5 years, then the branches are dry, the inner chamber is empty, and the tree becomes weak. After an interval of about 3 years, the branches will renew and the trees will flourish, and a new peak period of fruit can be ushered in. The fruit yield per plant of Hippophae rhamnoides varies greatly with different regional conditions, and the fruit yield per plant is 21.5 kg during the full fruit period.

Planting methods and points for attention of Hippophae rhamnoides

I. Culture methods of Hippophae rhamnoides

1. Light and temperature

Hippophae rhamnoides is lax in temperature and extremely resistant to cold and heat, with a minimum tolerance of-50 ℃ and a maximum of 50 ℃. Hippophae rhamnoides is a positive tree species, like light, the annual sunshine hours should be 1500-3300 hours.

2. Moisture

Hippophae rhamnoides is barren and requires annual precipitation of more than 400 mm, but it can also grow normally if it is planted in valleys or floodplains. In addition, attention should be paid to avoiding stagnant water and timely drainage in the rainy season.

3. Fertilization

During the flower bud stage and fruit period of Hippophae rhamnoides, Zhuangguotiling should be sprayed in time to increase nutrients, prevent falling flowers, increase fruit setting rate, accelerate its expansion and ensure high quality and high yield of fruit.

4. Soil

Hippophae rhamnoides has strong adaptability to soil. It is suitable to choose gravel soil and sandy soil with good permeability, but avoid too clayey soil.

II. Points for attention

1. Prune the tree

When Hippophae rhamnoides grows to a height of about 2-2.5 meters, it needs to be clipped. If you do not fight horizontally, the old should be kept new, the secret places should be trimmed, the branches should be left empty, the canopy should be trimmed well, and the crown will have a high yield.

2. Pest control

Dry shrinkage disease is the main disease of Hippophae rhamnoides, while the common pests of Hippophae rhamnoides are seabuckthorn aphids, spring inchworm, apple leaf moth and so on.

For the specific prevention and control of dry shrinkage disease of Hippophae rhamnoides, disease-resistant varieties should be selected when planting seabuckthorn, at the same time, management should be strengthened, soil should be loosened regularly, soil permeability should be improved and plant disease resistance should be enhanced. Chemical control can be carried out in late April. 40% carbendazim glue suspension 500 times or methyl topiramate 800 times can be irrigated once a month for 3-5 times in a row.

The harm of aphids can be prevented by spraying 2500-3000 times of imidacloprid. For the harm of apple leaf moth and spring inchworm, it can be sprayed with 3000-fold solution, or 2500-fold solution can be used to control.

Cutting Propagation of Hippophae rhamnoides

1. Preparation of seabuckthorn before cutting

There are three things that need to be prepared before seabuckthorn cutting, one is soil, the second is cuttings, and the third is water.

First of all, let's talk about the soil. Hippophae rhamnoides cutting requires that the soil is loose and fertile, the air permeability is good, and the soil is not easy to harden. if there are conditions, the soil should be disinfected before cutting. on the one hand, the weed seeds contained in the soil can be removed, on the other hand, the insect eggs in the soil can be eliminated, which can greatly reduce the probability of Hippophae rhamnoides infection after growing up.

The second is the choice of cuttings, which are cut from the sturdy mother branches of Hippophae rhamnoides. Generally, a cuttings should contain three to five young buds and ensure that each cuttings are between five and eight centimeters long.

The last is the water, needless to say, after the cuttage is completed, it should be watered enough for maintenance.

2. Specific operation of seabuckthorn cutting.

Insert the selected cuttings into the prepared soil, let the soil cover about one-third of the cuttings, gently pat the basin soil with your hands, and then pour enough water for careful maintenance. Under normal circumstances, it can take root in a week.

Growth habits of Hippophae rhamnoides

Hippophae rhamnoides is a relatively cold-tolerant plant, and can tolerate salinity and barren, and its vitality is very tenacious. Hippophae rhamnoides is a very precious economic tree species, because it contains high vitamin content, so it has a very high nutritional value, there are a variety of edible methods. In addition, it has developed roots and nitrogen-fixing nodules, so it is often used as a tree species to prevent wind and fix sand and conserve soil and water, and its ecological value is also very high.

Hippophae rhamnoides is a kind of plant with strong survivability, as long as it is given enough light, it can survive better, so we don't need too much fertilization and watering when we grow seabuckthorn. We just need to provide sufficient light and then carry on the proper management.
