What is the prophecy (August)? How do you plant it?

Qiaozi is a kind of wild fruit in rural areas, which looks a bit like a banana. it usually ripens in the eighth month of the lunar calendar and breaks after ripening, so it is also called August pricking / frying, which can be eaten as fruit or used as medicine. it tastes general and is difficult to preserve. So, what is the predictor? How do you plant it?

First, what is the predictor?

1. Precious seed is the fruit of Aristolochia manshuriensis, Akebia trifoliata and Akebia trifoliata, also known as August Za, August melon, August fried, pressing seed. The fruit is mature from August to September, the fruit is kidney-shaped or long oval, the surface is yellowish brown or dark brown, and the flesh is yellowish or yellowish brown.

2. The predicted subtree is a deciduous woody vine, with leaflets ovoid, broadly ovoid or long-ovate, margin lobed or wavy; flowering period from April to May, unisexual flowers, male flowers born in the upper part, female flowers purplish red; fruit in August, fruit fleshy, long ovate, cracking along the ventral suture after maturity.

3. Precious seed is mainly distributed in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces in China. It grows on hillsides, shrubs or ditches, and is generally picked when the fruit is ripe from August to September. It can be dried in the sun or soaked in boiling water.

4. It has the functions of soothing liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, dispersing knots and diuresis, and is used for epigastric distension and pain, dysmenorrhea, phlegm, ruffian mass, adverse urination, etc.; its seed is poisonous, and its stem is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. Occasional poisoning.

Second, how to plant prophecy?

1. Propagation: seed, embedding, root division and cuttage.

It can be propagated by four methods: seed, burying, dividing root and cutting. If it is seed reproduction, the seeds can be left after the fruit is ripe from August to September, first scrub with alkaline water, then rinse with clean water, drain water and sow in autumn in time. If the propagation is buried, it can be carried out all the year round, you can choose 1-2-year-old branches to bury in the soil, and it can take root after 1 month. If it is root-splitting propagation, it can be carried out before sprouting in early spring, and the predictive seeds of more than one bag can be divided into multiple plants by hand from the roots. If it is cutting propagation, it can be carried out all the year round, choose 1-2-year-old branches that are healthy and free from diseases and insect pests, cut into branches 10 cm long, soak them with rooting powder, and the survival rate is increased to 100%.

2. Soil: sufficient nutrients and high content of humus or organic matter.

Qiaozi has the characteristics of light preference, avoid strong light and are not resistant to cold, so the plot must choose shady slopes with sufficient sunshine and convenient drainage and irrigation; it is a shallow root tree species, it is appropriate to choose soil with sufficient nutrients and more humus or organic matter, and the soil acidity and alkalinity should be slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. After selecting the plot, turn the soil at least 20 cm deep, apply sufficient barnyard manure or compost, turn the land again, and mix the soil fertilizer well.

3. Planting: the soil is fine raked flat to make a high bed and then planted.

There are four propagation methods: the seedlings bred by seed propagation can bear fruit later than 3 years, the seedlings can blossom and bear fruit in the second year of burying propagation, the year of root division propagation can bear fruit in the same year, and cutting propagation can bear fruit in 2-3 years, so it is better to choose root division propagation. Before transplanting, the soil is fine and raked flat to make a high border with a width of about 1.5 meters, and then the seedlings are planted.

4. Management: watering, fertilization, prevention of diseases and insect pests.

After a week of planting, the seeds should be watered, weeding should be paid attention to during the growth period, and when new branches grow, they should set up and tie vines; when the base fertilizer is sufficient, there is little topdressing, and if topdressing is carried out mainly with farm manure, thin fertilizer is applied frequently and nitrogen fertilizer is not applied; in order to avoid insect pests and diseases, only a small number of mites are found to harm young leaves, which can be controlled by tobacco leaf frying spray.

The above is the introduction of the planting method of Qiaozi. I hope it will be useful to you.
