Matters needing attention in planting Eucommia ulmoides

The main function of Eucommia ulmoides is nourishing, and it is a good medicine for people with weak liver function and kidney function. At the same time, it also has the effect of calming the fetus. The ancient imperial concubines and concubines will use this medicine, which ordinary people can not afford, so it shows that it is precious. What we need to know today is some things that should be paid attention to when planting Eucommia ulmoides. Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Seed treatment

Eucommia ulmoides can be sowed for two seasons, that is, in spring and autumn. If Eucommia ulmoides seeds are sown directly, the germination rate and later growth rate are very slow. So we usually put the seeds in hot water at 40 to 50 degrees before sowing. About five or six hours later, we will fish out the seeds and soak them in cold water for half of Western Europe. Yes, and then put them into hot water. After continuing to do it three or four times according to this method, fish out the seeds, and finally stir the seeds with sand and chemicals and put them at a temperature suitable for seed germination to accelerate germination. If the temperature is not enough, a film can be covered to keep warm. When the basic seeds are sprouting, they can be sown, which greatly improves the survival rate of Eucommia ulmoides.

2. Planting density

Eucommia ulmoides is different from other medicinal materials, it can survive for many years, and it will grow bigger and bigger, so we should consider the space it needs after growing up, so that Eucommia ulmoides can grow better. at the same time, it also subtracts the work task of transplanting in the later stage because of the high density. Generally, the spacing of planting is three meters between rows and two meters between plants.

3. Fertilizer and water management

In order to have better drainage and irrigation, we will first set up a good ditch when planting. The first watering of Eucommia ulmoides needs to water the land thoroughly when sowing, so that it can germinate quickly. the second watering is within a week after planting, because some of the planting is through transplanting, so it must be watered to ensure full survival and provide it with sufficient water. At the same time, the first topdressing is needed in this period. The fertilizer needed for the growth of Eucommia ulmoides is generally inclined to organic fertilizer, so that it can grow better, and other fertilizers have no great effect on it. Secondly, Eucommia ulmoides will blossom when it develops to a certain stage, so it also needs watering and fertilization, the main way of fertilization is spraying. Finally, fertilizer must be applied after each harvest, so that Eucommia ulmoides can have a higher yield in the coming year.

4. Disease control

The disease of Eucommia ulmoides is usually in the seedling stage, and rarely occurs after five years, so the preventive measures should be strengthened in the seedling stage. The main diseases are Rhizoctonia solani and root rot. If the disease is more serious, it will directly lead to the death of the whole plant, while the initial symptoms of Rhizoctonia solani are shown as the phenomenon of wilting of a small number of branches and leaves, and in serious cases, it will also lead to the withering of the whole plant. So if the disease is not well prepared and preventive measures, then the yield is very miserable.

5. Harvesting method

There are three ways to harvest Eucommia ulmoides, because it can harvest not only fruit, flowers and bark, but also its bark, which we use most often. We all know that flowers and fruits will bloom and mature at a certain time, and bark is also required, we can not harvest bark prematurely, because the bark harvested prematurely does not have much effect, belongs to defective products, and is of little use, so it is generally as late as possible, but it should not be peeled too late, because if it is peeled in winter, then it will freeze to death.

6. Maintenance mode

We need to maintain it after harvest, so that it can prolong its service life and get a good yield in the coming year. After harvesting the flowers and fruits, we need to water and fertilize them to maintain sufficient nutrients for its growth. Secondly, after peeling, Eucommia ulmoides is easy to get sick and attract a lot of pests. So after peeling, we need to spray it with a layer of medicine to protect the branches from pests. Finally, if the peeling time is relatively late and the new bark does not grow in winter, we need to wrap it with a plastic film to keep it warm so as not to get frostbite.

These are some of the problems that should be paid attention to in planting Eucommia ulmoides. Although these problems are very common, if they are done well, then the annual output will be increased and more money can be made.
