How to plant the latest brocade lantern seeds?

Jin Lantern, also known as hanging Golden Lantern, Lantern Fruit, Red Lantern, Golden Girl, etc., is a perennial herb of Solanaceae. Bashang area in Hebei Province is the main producing area, with medicinal pericarp, which has the functions of heat-clearing and detoxification, antitussive and diuretic. It is wild in the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia, but it is not mainly used as medicine. Let's take a look at how Jin Lantern seeds are planted.

Growth habit

Brocade lantern has strong adaptability and can be planted all over the country. The temperature requirement is 12: 30 ℃, and the lighting requirement is not strict. It is distributed all over the country, mainly producing three northeastern provinces, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, resistant to severe cold and drought, soil requires neutral or weak acid-alkali land rich in organic matter, hillside, gully, wasteland can grow well, drought and cold resistance is very strong.

Seed treatment

Brocade lanterns are usually harvested in October, washed and dried in the shade. Before November 10, the seeds are soaked indoors in clean water for 24 hours, then the controlled water is removed and evenly mixed with fine sand twice as large as the seed. The humidity standard is clutched by hand and opened as soon as you touch it. Then, pack it in a breathable bag, dig a pit 30 centimeters deep in a high dry sandy loam outside, put the seed bag into the pit, and cover it with 10 centimeters of soil. After freezing, the surface is covered with a 10-centimeter thick mulch to delay the rise in ground temperature in early spring so as not to cause seeds to germinate underground.

Sowing method

The brocade lantern takes off the mulch 5 days before sowing, and the seeds and sand are taken out and broadcast at the same time. According to the row spacing of 25 cm 30 cm, draw a ditch 1 cm 1.5 cm deep, sow the seeds, and then water them with fine soil or fine sand 0.8 cm. The temperature is suitable for seedling emergence in 7 days. About 28 days, the seedlings can be planted when the seedlings have 3 leaves and 4 leaves, using double rows with a row spacing of 60 cm to 70 cm and a plant spacing of 20 cm to 25 cm, with two plants per hole.

Field management

Brocade lantern management is more extensive, in the seedling stage and before flowering, normal shovel pupil 2 times, control weeds, generally do not need to manage after anthesis to harvest period. From the second year, it is necessary to get rid of the excess tillers in time. About 50,000 seedlings are preserved every 667 square meters. The yield of brocade lantern is not high in that year, and the yield will continue to increase from the second year. In order to achieve high yield and premature delivery, Jin Lantern should combine inter-seedling ploughing and weeding when the seedling height is 10 cm, apply 20 kg urea per mu from May to June, and pay attention to drainage in the rainy season. During the growth period, the second dwarf was sprayed to prevent overgrowth. Spray secondary manganese before fruit harvest to prevent Chengniang spot disease. Spraying secondary potassium dihydrogen phosphate can improve early maturity and increase yield.
