How to plant acorns

Acorn is a kind of plant called berry oak, its starch content is only a little lower than soybeans, and contains more protein, fat and other nutrients than grains. Generally used in the production of acorn noodles, acorn starch, but also can be used to make tofu and wine. It can also be used in industrial manufacturing, such as textile, paper making, printing and dyeing and so on. So how do you seed acorns? Now let's explore how to grow it.

1. Planting conditions

China's acorns are mainly distributed in Xing'an Mountains, Changbai Mountains, Qinling Mountains, Dabashan Mountains, Dabie Mountains and other places. It has the characteristics of barren tolerance, drought tolerance and strong adaptability. Therefore, it does not have too many requirements for the planting environment. Generally speaking, acorns can be planted in areas similar to the climate of these planting places. Generally speaking, soil preparation needs to adopt the way of hole reclamation, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied during soil preparation, which is mainly based on rotten farm manure or organic fertilizer.

2. Seed treatment

Acorns should not be exposed to the sun, but should be stored in a cool place and stirred with wet sand during storage. Before sowing, we should take out the seeds, soak them in warm water, fish them out ten minutes later, and then sow them with fungus soil. In this way, the acorn seeds can be insecticidal and sterilized and improve the immunity of the seeds themselves.

3. Sowing and raising seedlings

Acorns can be sown in spring or autumn and winter. Spring is usually around March and April every year, while autumn and winter is from November to December. For acorn planting, we need to raise seedlings in the seedbed and transplant them in the later stage. We have to sow acorns evenly on the whole seedbed at a distance of 20 centimeters per row, with an interval of about eight to ten centimeters between each seed. Finally, cover the soil to cover the seed, the cover soil is generally about three centimeters thick, to ensure that the cover soil should be uniform, so as to ensure the consistency of seedling emergence.

4. Transplanting seedlings for afforestation

Seedlings will emerge about a month after sowing, we usually have to wait until the plant grows to a certain extent before transplanting, it is about 40 centimeters. In general, it takes a year for acorn trees to rise to 40 centimeters, so it takes one year to raise seedlings, so we need scientific water and fertilizer management. When the seedlings grow to about 40 centimeters, they are planted according to the distance of five meters between rows and four meters between plants. When transplanting, we should pay attention to protect the roots of the seedlings, which can improve the survival rate of the transplant.

5. Forest management

Within a month after planting, we should reasonably control moisture, ensure soil moisture, and irregularly water. A month later, we should fertilize properly, mainly urea in the early stage, supplemented with an appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer, in accordance with the principle of frequent application of thin fertilizer. At the same time, during the growth of the acorn tree, we should prune the branches and leaves irregularly to promote the growth of the acorn tree, but when pruning, we should pay attention to the smooth cut so as not to hurt the bark of the acorn tree and affect its growth. Finally, it is necessary to carry out irregular ploughing and soil cultivation to promote the absorption of nutrients.
