Cultivation and storage of honeysuckle

Cultivation: planting honeysuckle is the best to raise seedlings and transplant. Seedling transplanting has the advantages of high survival rate, early flowering and quick effect. As honeysuckle has strong vitality, it can be planted nearby and can be carried out at any time throughout the year. Transplanting in different places is easy to cause root branch damage due to long distance distance and long transportation time. It is best to transport seedlings over long distances during February-April or August-October of the lunar calendar, and take some specific measures (such as watering) on the way. The survival rate of honeysuckle seedlings can generally be more than 90%. When cultivating "Jinfeng No.1" honeysuckle on flat land in the garden, you can dig a round pit with a diameter of 30 cm and a depth of about 25 cm according to the plant spacing of 1-1.5 meters and row spacing of 2 meters. 1-2 honeysuckle seedlings of "Jinfeng No.1" can be placed in each pit and watered immediately after burying the soil. Management: pruning is the most important link in the high-yield management technology of Flos Lonicerae. In winter or early spring, all the weak and old branches, overlapping branches, cross branches and long branches are cut off to concentrate nutrients to promote the growth of flower branches. In the process of pruning, the principle of "pruning due to branches, modeling with trees, balancing tree potential, ventilation and transparent light" should be followed. Fertilization: it can be fertilized twice a year. The first time in spring, it is called budding fertilizer, and it should be watered in time after fertilization; the second time, circle fertilizer is applied in autumn and winter, also known as warm root fertilizer. This fertilization will enable honeysuckle to store nutrients and warm its roots through the winter, laying a good foundation for growth in the coming year. Where there are conditions, "Jinfeng No.1" honeysuckle can also be lightly applied nitrogen and phosphorus quick-acting fertilizer after the first harvest and the second harvest, and it is best to combine with intermediate ploughing and weeding and soil moisture conservation measures at the same time, so as to promote better absorption of nutrients. Picking and storage: Lesser Fullness of Grain began to pick the first stubble flowers a few days ago. As the saying goes, "on April 8, pick honeysuckle! [note: Fengqiu, Henan], at this time, the harvested honeysuckle is evenly sprinkled on Reed mats, straw baskets or a clean place to dry (can also be baked); it can not be turned until it is 80% dry, otherwise it will turn black and dry (bake) the honeysuckle once again after a period of time, and then it can be packed in plastic bags and stored for transportation.
