Key points of gallnut planting technique

Gallnut, also known as hundred worm warehouse, hundred medicine fried, gallnut, is also blindly = important Chinese herbal medicine, it has a wide range of medicinal properties, can be used to treat a variety of diseases. It has the effects of reducing lung and fire, astringent intestines and diarrhea, sweating and bleeding, dampness and sores and so on. it is often used in the treatment of paddy field dermatitis, night sweats, cervical erosion, long diarrhea and other diseases. And the planting technology of Schisandra chinensis is also troublesome, let's take a look at it.

1. Planting environment

Gallnut has the characteristics of being warm, moist, drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, barren-tolerant, waterlogging-resistant, and not resistant to stagnant water. The requirement for soil is not high. Generally, the soil that can grow crops can be used to grow gallnut. Secondly, there must be horned aphids, tripe aphids, summer host plants, salt wood, red bran poplar, winter host moss, that is to say, the planting land to meet the growth of these aphids and parasitic plants, gallnut planting can have the basic conditions for successful cultivation.

2. Planting technology

When planting gallnut, we can use the original double forest and replanting double tree method and artificial afforestation method to carry out, but the cost of artificial afforestation is too high, and the demand for seedlings is also very large, so we had better use the original double forest and replant double tree method, or use seed seedling to carry on afforestation. The spacing between rows and plants is generally about 1.5 meters, and a maximum of 220 plants can be planted per mu. The second is to select the moss species needed by the gallnut aphid, and then cultivate the moss in April and May every year. In general, the moss can grow in about three months, and finally shovel out the moss according to the length and width of 50 centimeters. Of course, in the process of planting, we also need to release autumn migratory aphids. We can collect autumn migratory aphids manually, and we can also raise insects artificially and release aphids at the right time.

3. Cultivation and management

After the gallnut is planted, we should observe the growth of the young trees and control the tree situation in time. Generally speaking, in the process of young tree growth, the tip should be removed, the tree height should be controlled at about two meters, and the branches should be pruned reasonably, mainly to cut off diseased branches, dead branches, dense branches and long branches. The second is to protect the vegetation to avoid the destruction of the growth environment and affect the growth of gallnut hosts. In addition, there is a certain difference between the cultivation of gallnut and other planting, that is, there is no need for intermediate ploughing and weeding, so the yield and quality of gallnut will be better. Finally, in order to prevent the falling leaves, the ring cutting can be carried out on the result tree of gallnut to achieve the effect of controlling the falling leaves.

4. Disease and pest control

Although gallnut needs gall aphids, summer host trees and winter host moss to grow, it does not mean that all pests have no effect on it. Then what we need to do is to prepare for the prevention of diseases and insect pests, the most important diseases are anthrax and black spot, mancozeb can be used to control, of course, the effect of carbendazim and methyl topiramate is also very good. The main pests are broad-shouldered elephant, longicorn beetle, leaf-eating elephant and so on, which can be controlled by dimethoate.

These are the key points of gallnut planting techniques that the editor would like to share with you today. I hope I can help you. In fact, it does not seem to be difficult to grow, but in practice it also requires professional planting skills, otherwise it is very difficult to plant successfully, which is one of the reasons why gallnut is so rare now.
