"Mayflower God" how to grow peony? What are the costs and benefits of planting?

Paeonia lactiflora, also known as "Mayflower God", has a long history of cultivation in China, not only has a high ornamental value, but also has a good medicinal value, so many growers want to plant peony as a money-making project, so how to plant peony? What are the costs and benefits of planting?

First, how to grow peony?

1. Soil

Paeonia lactiflora is a deep-rooted plant, and the requirement for soil is neutral or slightly acidic sandy soil with deep and loose soil layer and good drainage, because it will grow poorly if clay or sandy soil is selected. if the soil water content is high and the drainage is not smooth, it is easy to cause rotten roots, and saline-alkali land is not suitable for planting.

2. Ploughing and weeding

After sowing, weeding should be carried out in time after the seedlings of Paeonia lactiflora were unearthed, but in order to avoid damaging young roots, weeding and weeding should not be deep. In addition, intertillage should be used to preserve soil moisture when summer is relatively dry, and the times of intertillage and weeding is 3 times per year.

3. Watering

Paeonia lactiflora is suitable for survival in a highly open and dry environment, so it does not need frequent irrigation. Secondly, the fleshy roots of Paeonia lactiflora are not resistant to waterlogging, and rotting roots can be easily caused by stagnant water for 6-10 hours, so it is not suitable to plant Paeonia lactiflora in low humidity areas.

4. Lighting

Although Paeonia lactiflora can grow luxuriantly under the condition of sufficient light, it can appropriately reduce the temperature and increase humidity during the flowering period of peony, so as to prevent it from being burned by strong sunlight to prolong the viewing period, and it should not be excessively shaded so as to avoid blooming, dilute sulfur or unable to bloom.

5. Temperature

Paeonia lactiflora is suitable for living in warm conditions, but it is also extremely resistant to high and low temperature. It can safely survive summer when the temperature reaches 42.1℃ in summer, and can normally grow and blossom in open field when the lowest temperature in winter is-46.5℃.

6. topdressing at the right time

Timely fertilization is needed during the growth of peony, but in the first year, because the root of peony is still too young, it is necessary to topdressing three times a year, the first topdressing time is in late March, the amount of topdressing is 1000 kg per mu of human and animal manure water, the second topdressing time is in mid-April, the amount of topdressing is 1500 kg per mu of human and animal fertilizer water plus 15 kg of superphosphate, and the third topdressing time is mid-October. The amount of topdressing is 2500 kg of stable fertilizer per mu and then watered.

7. Picking buds and pruning

In order to promote the growth of plants and roots and make the peony flowers large and beautiful during the mature flowering period, it is necessary to remove the buds when the buds appear, and when the lateral buds appear, they should be removed in time, so that nutrients can be concentrated in the main buds.

Second, what are the costs and benefits of planting peony?

1. Cost

The planting of peony varies from region to region. in general, taking planting one mu as an example, the input cost of peony seedlings for 4 years is 3200 plants per mu. According to the market price of seedlings, the cost of seedlings in 4 years is 1920 yuan. The average annual seedling cost is 480 yuan. In addition, the input cost of fertilization and fertilizer is 300 yuan per mu, including two times of base fertilizer, and one time after two years. The pesticide cost is 150 yuan per mu, with an average annual cost of 40 yuan, plus labor cost of 800yuan, planting cost of 100yuan per mu, management cost of 200yuan, weeding and topdressing cost of 500yuan, land formation and excavation cost of 2000 yuan, plus land rent of 4880 yuan per mu of planting peony, so the cost per mu of planting peony can be greatly reduced, and the cost is not very high.

2. Benefit

According to the income of planting peony for 4 years, each plant according to the annual yield of 2 kg, the number of surviving plants per mu is 3000, the market price of fresh peony is 5 yuan / kg, the income for 4 years is 30000 yuan / mu, the average annual income is about 7500 yuan / mu. If the annual output of dry products is 10 yuan / kg per kilogram according to the market price, the income of 3000 plants × 2 kg / plant × 10 yuan / kg is 60000 yuan / 4 years, with an average annual income of about 15000 yuan per year, minus planting cost and land rent. The annual income of planting paeony is about 6000-13000 yuan per mu.

In addition, the management of planting peony in the early stage (the first two years) is more labor-saving and time-saving, and the management in the later stage (the last two years) is simple, and it is suitable for large-scale planting, and the planting prospect is good, and it has a wide range of uses and many values. the roots of peony contain paeoniflorin and benzoin acid, which are not only fresh and juicy for medicinal use, but also have the functions of antispasmodic, analgesia, menstruation, etc., and peony flowers with large color and good appreciation, but also can be used in special gardens, cut flowers, flower beds and so on. In addition, because matching with peony can prolong the florescence in visual effect, it is often planted with peony. In addition, peony seeds can be extracted from oil for soap and mixed with paint for coating. Peony roots and leaves are rich in tannins that can be used as soil pesticides, kill soybean aphids and control wheat stem rust. From this point of view, the benefit of planting peony is good, but the above data are only for reference. The specific benefits shall be based on the actual planting benefits.

Summary: the above is about the planting methods of peony and the prospect of profits related to the introduction, I hope to help friends in need!
