High yield experience of artificial cultivation of Schisandra chinensis

In recent years, due to the decrease of wild resources and the decline of output year by year, the price of Schisandra chinensis in domestic and foreign markets has increased year after year, which has aroused people's enthusiasm for cultivating Schisandra chinensis. In order to obtain high yield and high efficiency in the artificial cultivation of Schisandra chinensis, we must first grasp three links: first, we must carry out variety optimization, purification and improvement; second, we need to go through a process of domestication and adaptation; third, strengthen pruning to adjust and control the tree potential. The three complement each other and are indispensable.

First of all, the varieties of wild Schisandra chinensis were optimized, purified and domesticated. The main method is to select a piece of wild Schisandra chinensis on the mountain, and when the fruit is ripe, the plants with long ear, neat ear, large grain, compact, uniform and good comprehensive characters will be retained as breeding parents, and all other inferior plants will be eradicated. The excellent seeds were selected by means of cross-pollination and cross-pollination to the retained parent trees during the flowering period of the next year. The second step is to raise the seeds into seedlings in the open air, and then directly set the sandalwood in the flat ground, and then carry out open-air cultivation and domestication under the condition of full light, so that it can gradually adapt to the dry environment. After the tree bears fruit, its seeds are collected and used in the new commercial garden in a large area. The excellent varieties cultivated by this method have significantly enhanced stress resistance, do not wilt in high temperature and drought weather, and grow as usual without rain for half a month. The third is to pay attention to pruning, cutting off the main branches at the same time as the seedlings are planted, so as to force the seedlings to sprout 3-4 main vines from the base as soon as possible. Since then, in line with the principle of "opening and truncation", cut as lightly as possible, so that the branches can quickly cover the shelf surface, expand the fruiting branch group and reduce the fruiting position.

In addition to the above three key measures, auxiliary measures such as proper close planting, tree plate covering grass, boron application at flowering stage and artificial pollination should be taken at the same time.
