Skillful cultivation of Chinese wolfberry

Qiqitou refers to the tender buds of Chinese wolfberry, which belongs to woody sprouts. The tender shoot of Chinese wolfberry is not only rich in nutrition, but also has the effect of tonifying kidney and nourishing liver. It is a valuable dietotherapy vegetable and is deeply welcomed by consumers. The production and cultivation techniques are as follows:

1. A variety of Chinese wolfberry for vegetables. As a green leaf vegetable, there are two kinds of Chinese wolfberry, namely fine-leaf Chinese wolfberry and big-leaf Chinese wolfberry. These two kinds of Chinese wolfberry do not blossom and bear fruit and can only be propagated by cuttings every year.

two。 Raise seedlings. Chinese wolfberry plants with fine leaves or large leaves (also known as mother plants) with strong growth were selected and their stout branches were cut into segments of 15-20 cm as cuttings. There should be 3-5 axillary buds on each cuttage and stored under the condition of moisturizing about 15 ℃ for cuttings.

When cutting, the thick end (lower end) of the cuttings is obliquely inserted into the seedbed at an angle of 45 degrees, with the top facing south, exposing only the soil surface 1, Murray 2 sections. The row spacing of the cuttings is 15 cm. After cutting, the cuttings are covered with soil and watered thoroughly, and then a small arch shed is set up to moisturize and promote root sprouting.

3. Seedling management. Generally, about 10 days after cutting, it takes root and leaves to produce new shoots. At this time, 5 shoots were selected for each plant, and the rest were thinned, and then ploughed and loosened to promote the growth of branches and buds. The management of water and fertilizer should be strengthened 5 days after ploughing. 15 kg urea per mu should be applied with watering, and fertilizer should be applied once every 15 days. It can be harvested 40-50 days after cutting, and then once every 20 days or so. After each harvest, fertilizer must be topdressing and watering to speed up the growth of the next crop of shoots.

4. Harvest. When the height of the seedling is more than 40 cm or the branches grow to 30 murmur40 cm, it should be harvested in time while the basal leaves are not aging. Cut off the tender parts of the branches with a sharp knife, and the shoots of these tender stems and leaves will be put on the market. It is usually harvested once every 20 days.
