How to plant honeysuckle

I. cultivation methods

(1) Seedling raising. The seeds can be collected and sowed in autumn, or the seeds can be stored for sowing in early April of the following year. Both sowing and strip sowing are OK. 750 kilograms of farm manure was applied per mu as base fertilizer. Before sowing, soak the seeds in 25 ℃ warm water for 24 hours to accelerate germination, wait for the seeds to whiten and then sow. When the height of the seedling is about 6 cm, 10% urea solution is applied once combined with weeding and interseedling. When the seedling height is 10 cm, 200 times Bordeaux solution is sprayed once, and the seedling can be transplanted out of the nursery after 36 days.

(2) ramet transplanting. The persistent roots of 2023 were selected as seedlings with strong plant type, uniform hair, large root diameter, dark green stems and leaves, disease-free insect. From the Beginning of Winter to the following year, the stinging plants were transplanted before they germinated. After the seedlings survived, they were applied with 10% urea solution. One week before leaving the nursery, 250 grams of urea and 10% urine were used as "wedding" fertilizer.

(3) Cuttage propagation. The upper semi-lignified part of more than 3-year-old branches with strong plant type, emerald green leaves and no diseases and insect pests were selected as cuttings. In spring and autumn, cuttings can be cut directly or obliquely. The suitable depth of burying branches is to expose 2 axillary buds on the border surface, and the cutting depth is 6 Mel 10 cm. Five days before leaving the nursery, spray 0.3% Mu 0.5% urea or rare man feces 100ml 150kg to make "marriage" fertilizer.

II. Colonization

Planting is generally carried out in spring and autumn. Hole planting was used. If it is planted in pieces, it should first be formed into a border with a width of 1.7 mi 2 m and a ditch width of 20 mi 26 cm. 3 trees were planted in each hole, the distance between plants was 10 ~ 15 cm, and the distance between rows was 30 ~ 35 cm. After planting, the soil is compacted, and the seedlings are fixed with 100 kg of human feces and urine per mu and 500 kg of water. After the seedling survived, you can apply some clear water fertilizer, and then look at the seedling to apply phosphorus and potash fertilizer as appropriate.

III. Management

In the second year of honeysuckle transplant, scaffolding or fence should be built. Dense branches and old branches should be thinned and cut once in early spring to promote them to pull out new shoots. In the first and middle March of the following year, fertilization was carried out in combination with ploughing and weeding, and 500ml 750 kg of human feces and urine or 2.5 Mu 3 kg of urea was applied per mu. After that, quick-acting fertilizer could be applied according to the seedlings for each flower harvest. If there is no rain in case of a long drought, irrigation is urgently needed, it can be ditched or irrigated to keep the soil moist.

IV. Pest control

The main pests of honeysuckle are leaf rollers, flower worms, borer, etc., which can be sprayed with 1500 times of dimethoate or 80% dichlorvos. Pests can also be caught manually. The main disease is Rhizoctonia solani, which can be controlled by 200 times Bordeaux solution.
