How to grow Morinda officinalis

Morinda officinalis is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, which is mainly used for tonifying kidney, tonifying yang, strengthening muscles, strengthening bones and dispelling rheumatism. At present, Morinda officinalis on the market can be divided into wild and artificial planting, but the wild ones are mainly in Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and other areas with warmer climate throughout the year. The artificial planting is mainly in Guangdong and Guangxi. So how to plant Morinda officinalis? Let's take a look at how Morinda officinalis is planted.

1. Land consolidation

Morinda officinalis likes a warm and humid environment. The soil of the planting land is generally loose, fertile, well drained, moderate or slightly acidic, good permeability, red loam or yellow loam. At the same time, the water source of the planting land should be adequate, preferably in a flat-bottomed area or in an area with a small slope. The refurbishment of the planting land usually needs to begin a few months before sowing, and the soil will be broken up and leveled with the seedling money to make the border. Finally, we can grasp the use of base fertilizer and apply enough base fertilizer.

2. Methods of reproduction

The main method of propagation of Morinda officinalis is cutting seedling in seed breeding industry. Seed breeding is generally carried out by means of strip sowing, and the distance between each row is about 15 centimeters. The ditch is about ten centimeters wide and five centimeters deep, and then evenly sow the seeds in the ditch, covering the soil to cover the seeds. Cutting seedlings need to select relatively strong rattan roots, each rattan root is about 10 to 15 centimeters, and then they can be cut according to the distance of about five centimeters per plant.

3. Seedling stage management

The most important work of seedling management is shading. If it is a seed seedling, it is necessary to wait for the emergence of seedlings before building a shade shed, but using cuttings to raise seedlings needs to build a shade shed immediately after planting. Then wait until three months after the seedlings grow, slowly reduce the shade, and pay attention to building a rain shelter to protect against rain and cold. We should maintain the humidity in the air at about 60%, and when the seedlings grow to about 15 cm, we should apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of the seedlings.

4. Cultivation and management

The transplanting of Morinda officinalis can not be transplanted until the seedlings grow to about 30 centimeters, that is to say, the time of raising seedlings is about ten months to a year. Within one month after transplanting, it is necessary to check the survival and growth of seedlings in the field, replenish seedlings in time, and water them reasonably to promote the survival rate of transplanting. In order to reduce the damage of diseases and insect pests, we have to carry out ploughing and weeding many times. If the growth is not good, we should topdressing in time. Plant ash, soil fertilizer, or farm manure can be used with chemical fertilizer. In the florescence of Morinda officinalis, the inflorescence should be removed in time to promote root growth.

5. Prevention and control of diseases and pests

There are many diseases that harm the growth of Morinda officinalis, the most important of which are stem rot, purple feather disease, soot disease and so on. We can use sulfur powder, ammonium sulfate, Baumetu stone sulfur mixture for prevention and control. The most common pests are grubs, shell insects, whitefly, aphids, red spiders and root-knot nematodes, which can be sprayed with trichlorfon and dimethoate EC.

The above is the method of artificial planting of Morinda officinalis. I believe that through the reading above, we basically have a general understanding, especially those who want to plant Morinda officinalis should pay attention to the professional planting technology before planting. And understand the growth habits of Morinda officinalis.
