The planting method of Pepper Tree

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a seedling with sharp thorns on the tree, and the fruit is prickly ash, which can not only be used as an ingredient, but also can be used to treat beriberi, etc., with high application value and certain planting prospects, what are the planting methods of that pepper tree?

1. Soil selection

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is suitable for growing in rich and deep sandy soil, so try to choose fertile sandy loam for planting. After selecting the soil, turn the soil deeply, and apply appropriate amount of farm fertilizer, urea, calcium superphosphate, etc., after fertilization, you need to turn the sun, flatten the soil and remove weeds a few days later.

2. Seed selection and seedling raising

(1) seed selection: the seed of Zanthoxylum bungeanum has better water resistance, so try to choose the seed with full appearance and bright gloss when selecting seed.

(2) treatment seeds: soak the selected seeds in 1% washing powder water for four hours, then remove them and rinse them with clean water and sow them with plant ash. Or put the seeds directly into warm water containing plant ash, add sand and rub them with hands until the seeds have no luster.

(3) sowing: sow the treated seeds evenly into the soil and cover the soil with a small amount of water.

3. Transplanting and planting

(1) transplanting time: generally speaking, it can be divided into two planting seasons: spring and autumn. In the alpine areas with dry climate and low soil moisture in spring, it is better to plant in autumn. At this time, if the pepper seedlings grow older, they can be planted in August-September, and if the top tips of the pepper seedlings are tender, they can be postponed to September-October. When planting pepper seedlings in autumn, the tender shoots and leaves should be cut off to reduce water evaporation and improve the survival rate.

(2) transplanting method: in order to make Zanthoxylum bungeanum grow and develop well, large nests should be dug and sufficient bottom fertilizer should be applied when planting. Generally, the colonized nest is 50ml / 60cm square, and each plant is applied 5kg of farm manure and 50g of calcium superphosphate. The fertilizer should be mixed well with the soil and 100g of fresh lime powder is added to prevent root rot. After planting and filling the soil, the soil should be used to cover the nest again to prevent soil moisture from evaporating. Where there are many crushed stones, the effect of using crushed stone to cover the nest is better.

(3) transplanting spacing: it is determined according to topography, soil fat and thinness, variety of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and technical measures of growth management in the future. The principle is: large slope, small plant row spacing, small slope, large plant row spacing. If the soil is thick, the plant-row spacing is large; if the soil is barren, the plant-row spacing is small. The plant shape is large, the plant row spacing is large; if the plant row is small, the plant row spacing is small. If the flat pepper garden needs to be ploughed by machine, strip planting or wide and narrow row spacing can be used. We should not only make full use of soil fertility and light energy, but also adapt to the growth and development of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, so as to achieve the goal of high yield, stable yield, high quality and longevity.

4. Seedling management

(1) pruning and shaping: for pepper seedlings planted with leaves, if they encounter wilting and curling of branches and leaves, they can perceptively cut off some leaves to maintain the balance of water supply and demand so as to facilitate the survival of seedlings. In windy areas, pillars should be set up next to the seedlings to prevent them from blowing and affecting their survival. When the seedlings are askew due to irrigation, they should be straightened in time.

(2) moisture requirements: if the weather is dry for a long time, irrigate in time, and when the topsoil is slightly dry, hoe the topsoil in time to reduce soil water evaporation. However, the irrigation times should not be too much, so as not to destroy the soil structure and affect the growth of the new generalization. After planting, grass or gravel can be covered in the nest in order to reduce soil water evaporation. At the same time, we should also pay attention to avoid human and animal trampling and other hazards.
