Propagation methods of Uncaria Uncaria

Uncaria Uncaria is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with a long history in China, which has a wide range of distribution in our country. The main part of the medicine is the stem node, Uncaria has the effect of calming and reducing blood pressure, and the market demand in our country is relatively large. Now the planting area is also gradually expanding, so how to breed when planting Uncaria? The following editor has brought you the breeding method of Uncaria, let's have a look!

1. Ramet propagation

The root growth ability of Uncaria is relatively strong. And the upper part of the root of Uncaria also has the habit of sprouting, but the number is relatively small. But it also laid the foundation for ramet propagation. In ramet propagation, we first need to select the Uncaria plant which is robust, dense and disease-free as the mother plant. Then dig open the wound at the root near the plant, do not break it, and then do the work of covering the soil. Promote adventitious buds from roots and shoot new shoots. Strengthen the management, when the new branches are unearthed for a year or so, cut off the new plants with roots with a sharp knife and plant them as seedlings.

2. Cuttage propagation

The time of cutting propagation is generally chosen in March every year. First of all, we should choose a place with adequate fertility and water, good drainage and irrigation and sufficient light as a seedbed. Then the row spacing of the plant should be controlled to make the bed, and the seedbed should have good permeability and remove the cutting crops and weeds on the seedbed. Then choose the sturdy and healthy branches as the cutting branches. The row spacing of the plant should be controlled for cutting, and the cuttings on the ground will remain about 1 shoot 3. Do not be too deep and too shallow, otherwise it will affect growth. Keep a certain angle between the cuttings and the ground, pour enough water after cutting and do a good job of shading.

3. Sowing and reproduction

Before sowing, the fruit needs to be exposed to the sun for 1-2 days, then the seeds are taken out of the fruit, wrapped in cloth and soaked in warm water of about 52 degrees for about 5 hours. Promote the seed to absorb water, stir the seed with plant ash after soaking, disinfect and break the dormancy period of the seed. Then the seeds were sown from March to April, and the sowing method was mainly sowing. Spread the planting evenly on the seedbed, and then poke the seeds. Make the seeds fall into the gap in the seedling bed, and then properly water, try not to cover the soil, because the top soil ability of Uncaria seeds is relatively poor. Strengthen the management and improve the germination rate of seeds.

The above is a brief introduction to the breeding methods of Uncaria. There are many propagation methods of Uncaria. When we breed, we should mainly choose suitable breeding methods according to planting habits, region and planting direction, so as to improve planting efficiency. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
