Artificial planting and processing technology of litsea cubeba

Litsea cubeba, also known as mountain pheasant pepper, is a medicinal plant. The root bark and leaves of litsea cubeba can be used as medicine. Litsea cubeba has a wide range of functions, and its most commonly used and most common application is in medicine. And because litsea cubeba smells like a very special fragrance, it is also used as cosmetics. Then the editor will tell you how to plant litsea cubeba artificially.

I. collecting seeds and raising seedlings

When collecting seeds and raising seedlings, we should systematically screen out some old mother trees and pick out 5-10-year-old mother trees for inspection. If there are serious diseases and insect pests or do not grow well, they should be eliminated. Then the high-quality seedlings left behind will be collected by the end of August. If the bark color of litsea cubeba is purple-black, it can be collected. After the skin and wax are removed and washed, the seeds can be sown, and then the soil can be covered with a thickness of 2 cm. After sowing, butachlor can be sprayed once to give it more time to remove weeds to ensure that there are no weeds throughout the year.

II. Site selection and planting

Litsea cubeba is suitable for growing in the south of China, and can be planted in all the four wastelands below 1500 above sea level. Litsea cubeba can be planted in winter and spring in the planting season. The row spacing should be kept at 1 square meter, 667 square meters. Because litsea cubeba is a dioecious plant, the proportion of male and female trees is kept at 1:3.

III. Daily management

Usually, we should often patrol the fields and top the litsea cubeba when its mother plant grows to one meter high, which can promote the branching of sows and weed the field in May. Weeds are the crazy growing season in May. We must do a good job of weeding to ensure that the nutrition and land will not be robbed by weeds. If there are too many weeds, it will block the light and make the litsea cubeba lack of light. 100g phosphate fertilizer should be applied to it until November, which is beneficial to the shoot of litsea cubeba, and sprayed urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate to the litsea cubeba in full bloom, which can help it to overcome the age. If you encounter the harm of white wheel scale in summer, you can spray oil emulsion to control litsea cubeba.

IV. Harvest and processing

Litsea cubeba can enter the high yield period after growing for 3 years after planting seedlings. However, in the fourth year or more, a mother tree can produce fresh fruit 4-8kg, and when it grows to the eighth year, the yield can reach 25 kg, which is very high. The Beginning of Autumn in the lunar calendar can pick back the fresh fruit of litsea cubeba, and then heat the seeds with steam to volatilize the seeds to pour out litsea cubeba oil. Then the litsea cubeba oil is formed after passing through the catheter and condensation tube, the nucleolus is dried, and then broken to extract the oil with a juicer, the oil yield is about 30%. The oil production rate of the former is only 6-7%, which is more efficient than the latter.

The above is the artificial planting and processing technology of litsea cubeba, have you learned it? Apart from the fact that it takes some time to ponder and process, it is just the need for some tools, and the other steps are very simple.
