Last Updated: 2024/11/06, The experiment shows that the high yield of honeysuckle can be obtained by pruning the aging honeysuckle in early autumn. In the production of traditional Chinese medicine, pruning Flos Lonicerae, especially its pruning in early autumn, is an effective technical measure to regulate stem growth, promote flower bud differentiation, prolong plant life, stable and high yield. After pruning, honeysuckle can generally increase the yield by 35%, 45%, and some are more than twice as high. After the honeysuckle plants entering the aging stage take pruning measures, the florescence can be prolonged by 5 Mel for 6 years. When honeysuckle enters its aging period,

The experiment proved that pruning senescent honeysuckle in early autumn could obtain high yield in the following year.

In the production of Chinese medicinal materials, pruning honeysuckle, especially in early autumn, is an effective technical measure to regulate stem growth, promote flower bud differentiation, prolong plant life and stabilize yield. After pruning honeysuckle, it can generally increase production by 35 - 45%, and some can be as high as more than double. After pruning, the flowering period of honeysuckle plants in senescence period can be extended for 5 - 6 years.

When honeysuckle enters senescence period, leaves are thin and pale, there are many dead branches, crown is atrophied, flowers are few and weak. In this case, honeysuckle can be re-cut to rejuvenate, prolong plant life and maintain stable yield. When pruning, we should strictly grasp the principle of "cutting dead branches completely, cutting diseased branches heavily, cutting weak branches lightly, and not cutting strong branches". The specific methods are as follows: First, all dead branches in the flower pier, regardless of size or which part, are completely cut off to reduce nutrient consumption and water evaporation. 2. Cut off all branches harmed by diseases and insect pests. The remaining part should be conducive to the renewal of the whole stump, the formation of trunk branches and the coordination of crown. Third, the main stem and backbone of the germination of weak new branches and buds erased, leaving strong, relying on these branches and strong branches have a certain vitality to form new effective branches of multi-bud flower buds. Fourth, strong branches, whether normal or excessive, should be left as the backbone of the old stump renewal, do not cut.

Honeysuckle in the senescence of old withered branches and are lignification, coupled with relatively thick, therefore, the larger branches must be sawn with pruning. Wax is melted and applied to the sawn section to seal the fracture and reduce evaporation and plant death caused by rain infection. When all the larger lateral branches are cut off, they should be sawn off at the base of the branch about 30 cm long, so that the latent buds can germinate and form new branches. Cut off larger dead lateral branches, should be in the branch stem 2 cm or so sawn off, sawn into an oblique angle and downward (vertical branches can have oblique mouth).
