After selecting the soil, do a good job of soil preparation, turn the soil deeply and disinfect it, and dig the planting hole according to the planting quantity. Then apply sufficient base fertilizer, which can be applied in each planting hole to improve the germination rate of seeds. It is necessary to pour enough water before sowing, wait until the soil fully absorbs water, and then sow to control the sowing density. After sowing, cover with fine soil film to improve the conversion rate of water and fertilizer.

2. Seedling management

After Eucommia ulmoides seedlings are sown, attention should be paid to soil permeability and the number of weeds, timely ploughing and weeding, and good water and fertilizer management. Eucommia ulmoides seedlings are very fragile and can not adapt to the environment of strong light and high temperature, so cooling and shading should be done well in summer. And when the soil water content is too low, it should be properly watered to prevent drought, but the soil water content should not be too much, and the continuous rainy weather should be drained in time to prevent waterlogging from causing root retting of Eucommia ulmoides. In the later stage, according to the growth of seedlings, weeding should be carried out together with topdressing to ensure the nutrition of Eucommia ulmoides growth.

Because the growth ability of young trees is not strong and the speed is slow, it is necessary to strengthen the management of young trees and carry out intertillage and topdressing at least once every spring and summer. After entering autumn, according to the growth of the plant, the overlong, dense and basal branches should be cut off properly. Then observe the fertilizer content of the soil, and then fertilize as appropriate, in the early stage of harvest about a month, to stop topdressing work to prevent overnutrition caused by overgrowth of plants.

4. Disease control

Some diseases and insect pests will inevitably appear in the growth process of Eucommia ulmoides, and these diseases and insect pests pose a great threat to Eucommia ulmoides. Because without proper management, it will easily lead to the phenomenon of no harvest of Eucommia ulmoides. The common diseases and insect pests are blight and leopard wood capsule moth and so on. These diseases will harm different parts of Eucommia ulmoides leaves, roots and stems in varying degrees. It affects the yield and quality, so we should strengthen the management, clean up the fallen leaves and fruits in time, cut off the diseased and residual branches and bring them out of the plantation to burn. Reduce the existence of bacteria, reduce the incidence, after the onset of the disease to check the specific diseases and insect pests, and then take corresponding measures for prevention and control.

The above is a brief introduction to the planting methods of Eucommia ulmoides. It is true that planting Eucommia ulmoides makes money, but we need to have a correct planting management technology.
