The following editor brings you the cultivation techniques of Acer truncatum. Let's have a look!

1. Soil selection

Acer chinensis is suitable for growing in a cool environment and does not like the environment of high temperature and strong light. Especially in summer, they are afraid of exposure to the sun, and their ability to see low temperatures is relatively strong. Wild Acer usually grows on cool and humid hillsides, so when choosing to plant soil, you should pay attention to the surrounding temperature and altitude, and choose places that are moist, soft, rich in organic matter and free from diseases and insect pests. After selecting the soil, we should do a good job of soil preparation, improve the soil fertility and ensure the sufficient nutrition for the growth of Acer truncatum.

2. Sowing seeds at the right time

After the soil preparation, the ripe fruit is harvested around October every year, and then the seeds are taken out of the fruit to wash the pulp and mucus from the seed skin. Do a good job of seed soaking, sprouting and disinfection, and control the planting density for strip sowing. Sowing should not be too dense to prevent the growth of each other after forming. After sowing, cover 1-2 cm of fine soil, and then pour enough water to cover the plastic film. When the seeds germinate and emerge, the plastic film should be opened. In order to prevent the seedlings from being affected by direct sunlight, shading should be done well. Under normal management, the seedlings can grow to about 40 cm in about a year.

In the summer every year, a greenhouse should be built to shade the chicken foot Acer, and then properly apply manure and water to promote the growth of the chicken foot Acer. A year later, even if the work of separate planting is done, the main way of separate planting is grafting propagation. In the process of planting, we should do a good job of weeding, improve the permeability of the soil, and then topdressing at least twice a year.

The main disinfectants are carbendazim, avermectin and other agents, about once a week when there is no disease, and once a week after the disease. Often observe the growth and cleaning of Acer frutescens, so that diseases and insect pests can be detected and treated early. Prevent the influence of diseases and insect pests on the growth of Acer truncatum, and improve the economic benefit of planting.
