Is black wolfberry planting a scam? Why did he get rich? What planting techniques should be mastered?

Many people think that the cultivation of black wolfberry is a hoax, in fact, it is misunderstood, because some time ago, consumers bought fake "black Chinese wolfberry" news, which looked like black Chinese wolfberry, but tasted like raisins. In that case, can you rest assured that you can plant black wolfberry? Is the profit from planting it good or not? What planting techniques do you need to master? Let's take a look at how the village branch secretary leads the masses to rely on this "black gold" to become rich.

Before 2014, Gao was still a veterinarian and often went to the farmers' homes to see a doctor for livestock. Some people's families were very difficult. Their families depended on growing dozens of mu of grain as a source of income, and they had to depend on the days to eat. In case of drought or flood that year, the income was very small, and there was no income channel that could really support the family. It was in 2014 that he was elected village secretary, and he was determined to lead the masses on the road to becoming rich quickly.

Because at that time, the county put forward the industrial layout of "county north wolfberry, county south apple, county grass and livestock miscellaneous grain," and Ningxia was a neighboring area, he decided to go to the local area to inspect the Chinese wolfberry industry. Through research, it is found that the income of a large number of local red wolfberry can reach thousands or tens of thousands of yuan per mu, which he thinks is a very good idea. Just as he was tempted, someone around him changed his mind with a casual remark. Villagers said that the price of red wolfberry is 30-40 yuan, while the price of black wolfberry is much more than that, even several times higher.

He heard this remark in his heart at that time. When I got home, I began to search the Internet for relevant information about black wolfberry and found that black wolfberry is more expensive not only because it contains more calcium and iron niacin than red wolfberry, but also because it is rich in black fruit pigment (natural anthocyanin) that red wolfberry does not have. the content even exceeds that of blueberries. This boosted his confidence and continued to look for planting methods, prices, and output benefits related to black wolfberry, and found that if it was calculated according to 200-300 yuan per jin, 60 jin per mu during the production period, then the income would be considerable.

So, he came to Ningxia again to order black wolfberry seedlings, ready to try planting in his own field, more than 30 mu of black wolfberry planted in the field, he took good care of every day, after a period of time, and finally hung up the fruit. He picked some of them for local blind dates and led them to his Chinese wolfberry garden to visit and study. At the same time, he also noticed the role of propaganda and gave some of it to friends in the county to publicize the benefits of black wolfberry. Because of the good results of black wolfberry cultivation, the local township government actively helped him transfer land to expand the scale of cultivation and set up special cooperatives. 500 mu of black wolfberry fell to the ground in 2016 and all failed in 2017.

Seeing that black wolfberry has begun to take shape, he has also designed packaging and registered trademarks, and plans to use e-commerce to expand sales channels. At the same time, we will also lead the masses to join the co-operatives and strive to increase the planting of black wolfberry in this village to about 2000 mu, so that the masses can rely on this "black gold" to get rich.

Planting techniques of black Lycium barbarum

1. Seed collection and storage

The mature harvest period of organic black wolfberry in Qinghai is from August to September, when the fruit turns dark purple and the grains are full, it can be picked. If it is not picked in time, the fruit will naturally dry on the branches and will not fall off. The fruit after September should not be used as seed collection fruit, because the growth period is not enough, the seed is not long. When collecting seeds, put the berries in clean water. After soaking, break the berries with a beater, wash the pulp adhered to the seeds, remove impurities and filter out the seeds, dry and select the seeds and store them in a breathable textile bag. The seeds had better be sowed in the same year.

two。 Raising seedlings: there are three ways of raising seedlings: seed raising, cutting and root tillering.

Seedling raising can be carried out in spring and autumn, and the nursery land should be selected in the sandy loam with flat terrain, good drainage, irrigation conditions, convenient transportation and deep soil layer. Cutting can also be carried out before germination in spring and in autumn. Select one-year-old long branches or sturdy shoots with full buds on an excellent single plant, cut them into 18mur20cm long cuttings, and insert them obliquely into the whole border to press tightly and firmly. Pay attention to frequent watering to keep the soil moist, and the general survival rate is about 85%. In addition, the organic black wolfberry fruit has developed root system and strong root shade ability. many new seedlings can be produced in the shade around the main root by truncating the main root, and the new seedlings can be cultivated after tillering.

3. Planting density

According to the study, the most reasonable planting density of organic black wolfberry is 440-700 plants per mu. It can be cultivated reasonably according to row spacing of 1.5 (or 1.2) meters and plant spacing of 1 (or 0.8) meters, which does not affect the growth and fruit picking of organic black wolfberry, and does not waste land resources.

4. Field management

Throughout the year, we should combine weeding, loosen the soil in time, properly water the land according to the situation of the land, apply sufficient base fertilizer in March every year, and carry out scientific topdressing at the end of June and August. Nitrogen fertilizer was the main fertilizer in the early stage, and phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer were applied in the later stage.

5. Shaping and pruning:

Organic black wolfberry hangs fruit for three years and enters the full fruit period in five years, and its shaping must be completed in the first three years of planting.

6. Harvest and processing:

The harvest of organic black wolfberry should be between Grain in Beard and the Autumn Equinox. Pick ripe fruit in time, dry in the shade or dry in the sun, be careful not to knead or expose to the sun with your hands, so as not to affect the quality. When it is rainy in summer, you can use warm fire to dry.
