How to plant chebula

Fructus chebulae is a kind of plant of the family Gentlemen, and it is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with a very long history in China. Its distribution is very wide, and it can be seen in almost every province. Chebula has various effects such as relieving diarrhea and cough, reducing fire and lung, and is generally used in the treatment of hematochezia, prolapse of anus, chronic cough and so on. So how to plant chebula? Today, the editor brings you a simple process of chebula planting method. Let's take a look at it.

1. Land selection and preparation

Fructus chebulae is suitable for growing on sandy soil with sufficient light, good drainage and irrigation and adequate water supply. After selecting the land, remove the rocks, roots, branches and weeds from the previous crops. Then, to do the work of land preparation, we should rake it deeply and prepare the border for planting, and the specifications of the border should be determined according to the planting area and topography. According to the planting density, the planting hole needs to be determined according to the size of the seedlings, usually the length and width is controlled around 45cm*35cm, and then apply sufficient base fertilizer, which is dominated by rotten farm manure and supplemented by compound fertilizer to improve soil fertility.

2. Seed selection and budding

There are many varieties of chebula, and we should choose the suitable varieties according to the local climate, soil and other factors. The chebula tree with strong growth, strong plant, high yield and high quality was selected as the planting tree. Harvest mature and healthy fruits in winter to take out the seeds, then wash the pulp on the seed coat, split the shell, and take out the kernels. Spread the kernels evenly on the wet sand, cover with a layer of fine sand, and then put a layer of seeds, so that the cycle is about 6 times, the top layer is covered with fine sand, watered thoroughly, and covered with film. It will germinate in about a week, and the germination rate can reach about 75%. When about 80% of the seeds germinate, they can be sown.

3. Seedling raising and transplanting

The sowing method of chebula is usually on demand, digging the border ditch, controlling the distance between rows and plants for sowing, covering fine soil after sowing, then spreading a layer of straw and watering enough water. Improve the moisture and fertilizer ability of soil and promote seed germination. In the summer drought should pay attention to do a good job of shading, keep the seedbed moist, under normal management, sowing about 10 days will sprout. The seedling time of chebula chebula is longer, about 2 years, when the seedling grows to about 1 meter, it can be transplanted and planted. Now most people use sowing and reproduction, but the growth cycle of sowing and reproduction is long, and the yield is not high, so now the method of sowing and reproduction has been gradually eliminated and grafted instead.

4. Cultivation and management

After the seedlings are unearthed, it is necessary to uncover the straw in time, build a shade shed, and control the shade in the field at about 32%. Then, when the seedlings grow to about 10 cm, they begin to topdressing, and once every 2 months in the later stage, the amount of fertilizer application can be gradually increased with the increase of tree age. And in the seedling stage to start pruning work, cut off the lateral branches of the stem, promote the growth of the trunk, early planting time. When the young tree grows to about 150 cm, it should be pruned in time to prevent it from growing too high, which is not conducive to fruit picking in the later stage.

The above is a brief introduction to the planting method of Fructus chebulae, the current method of sowing and reproduction is not conducive to the old growers for production. If new growers start to plant on a large scale, they can take appropriate measures. Old growers should skillfully master grafting reproduction, expand their own planting area, and carry out production. Specific grafting breeding methods can be seen in previous articles. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
