The planting method of Tea Tree

Camellia oleifera, also known as Camellia oleifera, is a kind of tea tree that can extract oil. it has been planted in many areas in recent years. What are the planting methods of that tea tree?

1. Select improved varieties

Seed selection is carried out according to the local climate and soil conditions, and the excellent varieties identified by the relevant national departments are selected at the same time, the results are larger, but the pericarp should be thin, the oil yield should be high and the resistance should be strong. Secondly, Camellia oleifera is generally planted by seedling cutting or grafting, so when choosing seedlings, we should choose sturdy and disease-free seedlings, so that the survival rate and later yield will be high.

2. Land selection and preparation

The soil planted by Camellia oleifera had better be slightly acidic, so that the survival rate of planting will be high. the second is that the soil should be more fertile, preferably red soil or sandy soil, and finally, Camellia oleifera is relatively shady at the initial stage of its growth. but in the later stage, we need sufficient light, so we'd better choose a sunny semi-sunny slope, or a sunny slope. Land preparation should be carried out according to the specific situation, in the flat land, we need to finish ploughing, and in the sloping land, we can choose to cultivate only a small area to be planted, which can not only reduce the amount of labor but also prevent the destruction of vegetation.

3. Rational planting

(1) planting time: October or February of each year.

(2) planting density: the planting density is best controlled at about 100 trees per mu, that is, each plant is about two meters apart, and each row is about three meters apart.

(3) planting method: seed sowing or seedling cutting or grafting can be used, but the growth cycle of seed sowing will be longer, but basically it will bear fruit in about two and a half to three years.

4. Scientific fertilization

We should be divided into three stages of fertilization. the first is that the fertilization of seedling time is mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer, which is what we often call urea, mainly to promote the growth of Camellia oleifera. The second stage is Camellia oleifera which begins to bear fruit for three years. At this time, Camellia oleifera is in its prime, so we need to divide it into three steps to fertilize. The first step is to apply growth fertilizer once in spring. Apply a flower-promoting fertilizer when it blossoms, and finally apply a strong fruit fertilizer when it bears fruit. The third stage is when Camellia oleifera has a certain number of years, we need to increase the maintenance fertilizer on the basis of the second stage, that is, after Camellia oleifera harvest. The growth fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, the flower fertilizer is potassium fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, and the fruit fertilizer is boron fertilizer.

5. Field management

(1) Intertillage weeding: Camellia oleifera needs to carry out intertillage weeding three times a year, which can improve its resistance and accelerate its growth rate to a certain extent.

(2) pest control: Camellia oleifera is very resistant, so there are few diseases and insect pests. Nevertheless, we are still carrying out prevention, that is, we regularly spray some Bordeaux or carbendazim to Camellia oleifera. Spray some trichlorfon solution when there are pests.

(3) pruning: pruning of branches and leaves is a more important step, because Camellia oleifera needs sufficient light in the middle and later stages, so we have to cut off some branches and leaves in places where they grow luxuriantly. The second is to cut off the weaker branches and leaves at the bottom, as well as withered and diseased branches, so as to increase the yield of Camellia oleifera.

(4) Garden cleaning: usually it needs to be carried out immediately after Camellia oleifera harvest. We should clean up the sundries and dead branches in the field, and then sprinkle a layer of lime for disinfection.
