The latest planting method of nux vomica

Nux vomica is also called strychnine tree, soft-shelled turtle, nux vomica and so on. It is a dicotyledonous tree of the genus Strychnos. Nux vomica is also a blindly traditional Chinese medicine, but if it does not understand medicine, it will be poisoned. The seeds of nux vomica are extremely poisonous, but they can be used in medicine after processing, and can be used to strengthen the stomach, clear collaterals and disperse knots, reduce swelling and relieve pain. So how is nux vomica planted? The following is what the editor is going to share with you today. Let's take a look.

1. Land selection and preparation

Nux vomica has the characteristics of being warm and moist, but not cold-resistant and drought-resistant, so when we choose the planting land, we can choose it according to these characteristics. Generally, it should be planted in the alluvium by the river or in the loess and laterite in the hilly area. The soil is slightly acidic or slightly alkaline, sandy loam or clay loam with rich humus and good permeability. Soil preparation is carried out with planting money, but it is usually in the form of hole reclamation, which is 50 centimeters long, 50 centimeters wide and 40 centimeters high. after the soil is weathered, base fertilizer can be applied to wait for planting.

2. Methods of reproduction

There are two methods of reproduction of Strychnos nux vomica, which are seed propagation and budding propagation. Seed reproduction needs to soak the seeds before sowing. Two days later, the seeds are fished out to promote germination, and when the seed radicles produce white bud points, the seeds can be sowed. On the other hand, budding propagation needs to choose good rootstocks and shoots, rootstocks with developed roots, strong roots, no diseases and insect pests and strong adaptability, and buds need to choose high-yield and full shoots. Then according to the seedling grafting technology to carry on the grafting.

3. Field management

After the nux vomica is sown or grafted, it usually takes about 20 days at most to emerge and survive. If it is winter for many years, it will take more than a month. When the seedlings grow to about 60 centimeters, we can transplant and plant, dig up the seedlings and transplant them to the prepared fields for planting. After planting, we should maintain the humidity in the field and water it frequently, at the same time, we should also water it regularly so as not to harden the soil and affect the soil permeability. Secondly, after two months of seedling growth, we should reasonably apply an appropriate amount of feces and urine or urea, and then wait until the second half of the year before topdressing, which is mainly ammonia fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer. Finally, it is necessary to scientifically prune and reshape branches and leaves, remove overdense branches and leaves, cut off withered branches, old branches and diseased branches, cultivate main branches and prepare branches.

4. Disease and pest control

The main disease of nux vomica is leaf spot, which mainly harms the leaves of nux vomica and affects the growth of nux vomica. We can usually use Bordeaux liquid or methyl topiramate to control it, spraying it every ten days or so. Spray two or three times in a row. And the pests that most manufacturers love you are nocturnal moth, diamondback moth and weevil. These pests are mainly young leaves that harm nux vomica, and the peak of these pests occurs at the flowering stage, so you should make precautions in advance and use trichlorfon to control them.

Many of us may not know much about Maqianzi, but it is indeed an important medicine in our lives, and some of us have used it in our lives. The planting method of nux vomica introduced to you by the editor today does not hope to be of all help to the partners who plant nux vomica. At the same time, I also hope that more people can know and understand it.
