The planting method of Michelia mollissima

1. Soil selection

Michelia is a shallow root tree species, so we should choose sandy soil with good drainage, apply base fertilizer in the soil, and disinfect the soil and kill insects with medicine solution.

two。 Selection of species

The reproduction of Michelia mollissima is simple, and its seeds can be sown as they are picked. However, if you want to plant your own Michelia mollissima "genetically good", you still need to sow the seeds carefully.

March is the best time to sow seeds in Yangchun. Before sowing, soak the seeds in 0.5% potassium permanganate solution for two hours, and then soak them in warm water for one day, which is good for "sprouting"; wait for the seeds to absorb water and expand, dry them, and then mix them with calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer to increase its innate nutrients.

3. Sowing seeds

When sowing, bury the seeds in the soil 1mm deep, then cover the surface of the seeds with a layer of charred mud 1 cm thick, and finally cover with sand.

4. Maintenance

After a month of sowing, this genetically good seed almost broke the ground and germinated; those who need to love it take good care of this weak seedling.

Planting and cultivation techniques of Michelia mollissima

Nursery site selection 

Michelia mollissima is a shallow-rooted tree species, and the nursery should choose sandy loam with good drainage and irrigation conditions, moderate sunlight, deep soil layer, fertile soil, sufficient water source and good drainage.

Nursery bed making 

Before sowing, the nursery should be turned over deeply, and the soil preparation should be meticulous, so as to achieve "three ploughing and three harrowing". Apply sufficient base fertilizer, fence fertilizer 2500kg per 667m2, and soil disinfection with 70% thiophanate 5kg per 667m2 and soil disinfestation with 90% trichlorfon 2kg. After soil disinfection, the bed was built with the height of 25cm, the width of 110~120cm and the width of walking ditch 30~35cm. Bed with tortoise back shape, all around a good drainage ditch, edge ditch deep, in the ditch shallow, so that the rain stop ditch does not accumulate water. 

Sowing 

Seeds can be sowed with picking or stored in wet sand until late February to early March in early spring. In order to improve the germination rate of seeds and reduce the trouble of seed sand storage, the seeds can be sown directly after being shaded and dried. Before sowing, soak the seeds with 0.5% potassium permanganate solution for 2 hours, put them into warm water to promote germination for 24 hours, wait for the seeds to absorb water and expand, remove the seeds and place them in the bamboo basket to dry. The seeds were mixed with calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer after drying.

Using strip sowing, strip spacing 25cm, sowing rate 8~10kg/667m2. Sowing ditch deep 1.5~2cm, after sowing, cover the seeds with charred plaster, the thickness is about 1cm, and then cover the yellow core soil 1~2cm. In order to keep the seedling soil loose and moist, and conducive to seed germination, it is necessary to cover the grass, and its thickness is not seen in the soil. After sowing, it is necessary to strengthen the field management of the nursery, in addition to spreading poisonous rats on the walkway and around, timely do a good job of clearing ditches and draining in rainy days and watering and moisturizing in dry weather.

Seedling management 

In early April, when the average temperature was about 15 ℃, the seeds began to break the soil and germinate. When 70% of 80% of the seedlings were unearthed, the grass could be removed in cloudy or sunny evenings. On the 2nd day after uncovering the grass, 70% thiophanate 0.125% solution and 0.5%  equivalent Bordeaux solution were sprayed alternately for 2 times to prevent the occurrence of diseases. 

In the early growth stage of Michelia mollissima (from April to mid-June), the height growth accounts for 13.6% of the annual growth, and the seedlings grow slowly and have poor stress resistance, so weeding, loosening soil, proper fertilization and other work should be done. Rarefied human feces and urine with a concentration of 3% to 5% and 2% cooked cake fertilizer were applied every 10 to 15 days from late April to late May. After June, 0.2% compound fertilizer was used to irrigate around the roots of the seedlings, and the solution should not be poured on the leaves as far as possible. 

In order to improve the quality of seedlings, accelerate the growth of seedlings and control the density of seedlings reasonably, the overdense seedlings should be removed in time in the overcast and rainy weather in May, and the seedlings should be interplanted in camphor trees. The three-dimensional cultivation experiment showed that the row spacing was 10cm × 20cm, and the seedling height and ground diameter were good, and good results were obtained. The seedlings were fixed in the first ten days of July, leaving 3035 seedlings per square meter.

The use and ornamental value of Michelia mollissima

Smiling in the mountains, full of trees and flowers, light fragrance, the tree shape is long and beautiful, like a beauty with jade face and lips, with a smile between the eyebrows, so that all those who meet it can not help but stop for it and appreciate its jade-like beauty. Sigh for its unique fragrance.

Medicinal value

Michelia mollissima is not only beautiful in appearance and pleasant in aroma, but also rich in nutrients and natural essence, which has high value for the use of traditional Chinese medicine. The flowers of Michelia mollissima are pungent in taste and warm in nature. they have the effect of dispersing wind and cold, dredging nose and relieving pain. Its root can clear heat and detoxify, remove qi and turbid, relieve cough and so on.

Economic value

Michelia mollissima is a kind of fast-growing evergreen broad-leaved wood species in China, which has good wood quality, strong adaptability, few diseases and insect pests and strong reproductive ability. And its trunk has straight texture, fine structure and easy processing, so it is a good choice for furniture, sheet metal, drawing board and other materials. Therefore, Michelia mollissima has the economic value of wood use.

In this way, it can give consideration to the deep mountain smile of both "inside show" and "outside show", which can not help but make people love it to a higher level. I really hope that I can see it in my own courtyard every day. So how on earth should it be planted? Next, the editor is going to introduce to you the planting method of Michelia mollissima.
