How to plant aconite

Fuzi, also known as Caowu, is mainly planted in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and other places in China. Aconite is mainly used for the treatment of returning yang to save adversity, dispelling cold and relieving pain, heart and abdomen cold pain, beriberi edema, infantile slow shock, impotence, palace cold and so on. However, we should note that aconite contains a certain degree of toxicity, so it is not used directly, it needs to be processed before it can be used. But today we are going to talk about the planting method of aconite. Let's learn it together.

1. Seed selection and soil preparation

Fuzi has the characteristics of being warm, moist, sunny and hardy. The planting land should choose the sandy loam rich in humus with deep soil layer, loose soil, sufficient fertility and sufficient water source, but with good drainage. It can be wasteland or ripe land. After selecting the planting land, the conventional soil preparation was carried out, and the base fertilizer was re-applied, which was mainly farm manure. Mix the base fertilizer well, open the ditch to make the border, and rake the border surface flat. We should choose excellent varieties of seeds, such as Zhongfu No. 1 and Zhongfu No. 2 with good yield and quality.

2. Planting method

It is usually planted in November each year, with a spacing of 25 to 30 centimeters between rows and a gradual spacing of 15 to 20 centimeters. When planting, the depth of the main planting is generally about 15 centimeters, usually more than 10,000 aconite can be planted per mu. The second is that when we plant, we should pay attention to planning the planting density according to different topography and soil fertility.

3. Field management

Before emergence, we should cover the bed and clear the ditch, and then wait until after emergence to check the growth of the seedlings and replenish the seedlings in time. After the seedlings are replenished, it is necessary to carry out an intermediate ploughing and weeding, or manual weeding. Secondly, when the aconite seedlings grow to about 15 centimeters, carry out appropriate root pruning, generally in the process of his growth, need to carry out about two root pruning. The growth cycle of aconite is relatively short, but it also needs three times of topdressing, mainly with mature compost or stable compost. About a week after the first root pruning, you need to start sharpening, and then sprout once a week. Finally, it is important to pay attention to timely drainage and watering.

4. Disease and pest control

In the process of growing, there are still a lot of diseases and insect pests. Diseases such as white silk disease, downy mildew, root rot, powdery mildew, root nematode disease and so on are common. Then we can use carbendazim, Bordeaux liquid, carbendazim wettable powder, stone sulfur mixture for control. The second most harmful pests are heart borer, red aphid, Spodoptera litura and leafhopper, which can be poisoned with trichlorfon or dimethoate EC.
