The latest course of cultivation techniques and methods of catechu

Catechu is a very traditional Chinese medicine in China, which is mainly distributed in Yunnan Province. It is mainly used in branches and trunks, and has various tasks such as stopping bleeding and promoting muscle, clearing lung and resolving phlegm and so on. Mainly used for fall injury, eczema, eczema and so on, its medicinal value is very high. Now catechu also has a certain planting area in our country, so how on earth should catechu be planted? The following editor brings you the cultivation techniques of catechu, let's have a look!

1. Timely seed collection

The main planting method of catechu is sowing and propagation, so we should collect seeds in time before planting. When the color of the catechu fruit gradually darkens, it represents ripening, and the fruit should be harvested in time before the fruit falls off. Then put the fruit in the sun for about 4 days, evaporate the fruit water, split the fruit and open it. For seed harvesting, select healthy seeds such as fullness and no wound to ensure the quality of seeds. The germination power of a high-quality seed can be maintained for about a year, but it is vulnerable to insect pests, so it is best to sow with picking, and its germination rate can reach about 85%.

2. Sowing and raising seedlings

Although the germination ability of catechu seeds is relatively strong, we should do a good job of accelerating germination before sowing in order to further improve the germination rate of catechu seeds. It can effectively improve the germination rate of seeds and ensure uniform seedlings. First of all, soak the seeds at a temperature of about 50 degrees to cool naturally, then put them in water for a day or so. After seed soaking, the germination time of seeds can be shortened to about 4 days, but the distribution of catechu is relatively deep, and the growth ability of lateral roots is not strong. Therefore, it is necessary to raise seedlings first. when sowing in spring, the seedlings can be transplanted and planted for about a month.

3. Planting and afforestation

Before planting, choose sandy soil with good drainage and irrigation and fertile soil for planting, if the land is potholed with water. Then it is necessary to set up a good drainage ditch to avoid stagnant water seriously leading to catechu root rot, affecting its normal growth. And it is necessary to do a good job in soil preparation, improve the softness of the soil and promote the growth of young trees. Then control the row spacing, dig planting holes, and apply sufficient mature farm manure as base fertilizer in each planting hole. Then transplant at the right time, do a good job of management and afforestation after successful planting.

4. Field management

After planting, it is necessary to pour enough fixed root water, but the water should not be too much to avoid affecting the normal growth of catechu. Pay attention to observe the permeability of the soil to avoid the failure of afforestation caused by too much closure. And according to the actual growth of catechu and the degree of soil fertility timely topdressing. Pay attention to do a good job of weeding in ploughing, not less than twice each time, and properly cover the grass to improve the fertilizer and water retention of the soil. Finally, peanut and other crops can be intercropped to improve the utilization rate of soil and reduce the waste of land resources.

The above is a brief introduction to the cultivation techniques of catechu, and we should also do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests in the process of planting. Avoid diseases and insect pests to harm the growth of catechu, resulting in reduced economic benefits of planting. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
