The technique of planting woody honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine with remarkable heat-clearing and detoxifying effect. According to the traditional Chinese medicine of the motherland, "Honeysuckle is good at dispelling poison, those who have not yet become poison can be dispersed, and those who have already become poison can be defeated." It is a holy medicine. Modern medical research has proved that Flos Lonicerae has broad-spectrum antibacterial and is known as "traditional Chinese medicine antibiotic" and "green antibiotic". After the Ministry of Health approved Flos Lonicerae as a traditional Chinese medicine for both medicine and food, its value increased greatly. At present, it is widely used in the fields of drugs, health products, food, beverages, cosmetics and various food additives. At present, domestic and foreign markets are in short supply and have broad prospects. By using the techniques of plant cloning, bioengineering and genetic improvement, Chinese scientists have cultivated an ecological woody honeysuckle which integrates medicinal, ornamental and landscaping, cold resistance, drought resistance, heat resistance and barren resistance.

The popularization of this achievement will play a huge role in returning farmland to forests and developing characteristic agriculture, dry farming, ecological agriculture, adjusting agricultural structure and increasing farmers' income in the western region. Woody honeysuckle is a perennial woody plant of honeysuckle family. It has a height of 12.8 meters and blooms in 410 months with yellow and white flowers. It is characterized by small leaves, large flowers, high content of active components, and leaf flowers can be used as medicine and edible. And the root system is very developed, cold resistance, drought resistance, high temperature resistance, barren resistance is very strong.

1. Planting is generally planted in spring and autumn every year. The row spacing is 1.5 meters x 2 meters, that is, 222 plants are planted for every 667 square meters (1 mu).

2. Field management

① soil management: pay attention to keep the soil loose and free of weeds in the garden, and loosen and cultivate the soil in time in early spring and autumn and winter every year.

② fertilizer and water management: the root system of woody honeysuckle is very developed, and it is resistant to cold, drought, high temperature and barren. Therefore, it does not have strict requirements for fertilizer and water. It only needs to apply a certain amount of soil and miscellaneous fertilizer or chemical fertilizer in time under the premise of ensuring basic fertilizer at seedling stage and before and after flowering stage.

③ shaping and pruning: Woody honeysuckle has the characteristic of upright. When shaping and pruning, we should not only consider its normal plant growth, but also increase its effective flowering area as much as possible. Therefore, irregular round head shape is often used in production.

3. Because its florescence is concentrated in April and October and blossoms in three seasons, it should be picked in good weather, harvested in time, and dried in a ventilated place or dried quickly at low temperature to avoid the loss of effective components.

1. after three years of planting benefit, every 667m2 (1 mu) produced 300kg of honeysuckle (20 yuan / kg) and 100kg of honeysuckle leaf tea (market price 40 yuan / kg), and the income of flowers and leaves reached about 4000 yuan per 667m2. If intercropped with other varieties, the benefit is higher.

2. Reproduction income woody honeysuckle is mainly propagated by plant cloning and cutting. every 667m ~ 2 three-year-old honeysuckle can cut 10 15000 plants without affecting flower yield and leaf yield, and the benefit is about 230000 yuan. the benefit of plant cloning is higher. Therefore, with planting income plus reproduction income, the comprehensive benefit is more than 30,000 yuan per 667 square meters.
