Cultivation techniques of lichens

Lichen is a complex of algae and fungi symbiosis, for wild plants, then lichen cultivation technology is what?

I. Basic introduction to lichen

Lichens are symbiotic complexes of algae and fungi. The fungi that make up lichens are usually Nostoc and single-celled green algae, such as Syncoccus and Orange algae; fungi are ascomycetes or basidiomycetes.

In such symbiotic complexes, algae contain photosynthetic pigments. It can carry out photosynthesis and provide nutrients for fungi; fungi can absorb water and inorganic salts from the outside world, provide them to symbiotic algae, and wrap the algae in them to avoid direct sunlight that causes algae cells to dry and die. the two are interdependent and cannot be separated.

II. Cultivation techniques of lichen

1. Land selection: select suitable areas for planting. The ideal cultivation environment is about 40° north latitude. For planting in the south, it is necessary to select Senyue area above 2500 meters above sea level.

3. Soil: acid black soil and dried sheep dung beans are mixed in a ratio of 5:1 and then compacted;

3, watering: need snow melt water, ice melt water or rainwater irrigation, can not use tap water, mineral water, etc., according to a certain interval for watering.

Specific watering intervals are:

spray water once every 12 hour, mixing fresh spinach leaves and fresh grass according to that ratio of 2:3 after 15 day, beating into paste by a beater, diluting with water (rainwater, snow melt water and mountain snow melt water) according to the ratio of 3:5, and uniformly spraying on the mixture.

After that, water was sprayed every six hours and stopped spraying after one month. After 7 days, spray water every 48 hours, and the amount of water sprayed each time is 1 cm. After a month, a large number of water spray, every 3- 5 hours spray water, spray water for the ground can see the standard water.

After 15 days, spray water once every 36 hours, and the amount of water sprayed shall be based on the humidity of the ground.
