Fertilization techniques for High yield of Flos Lonicerae

Honeysuckle is one of the commonly used bulk medicinal materials in China, its flowers and stems can be used, and a lot of nutrients are needed in the growth process, so reasonable fertilization can further promote the growth and development of Honeysuckle. So how to fertilize honeysuckle? How to achieve high yield? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. The purpose of fertilization

Honeysuckle is a fertilizer-loving medicinal material. Rational fertilization can increase the number of flowers on the one hand, improve the quality of honeysuckle on the other hand, and increase the content of chlorogenic acid and luteolin in honeysuckle, which is the main index to measure the quality of honeysuckle products. so we should keep in mind the purpose of fertilization.

2. Fertilization time

Because honeysuckle is a fertilizer-loving crop, it needs to be fertilized many times a year, so the time of fertilization must be grasped. Generally, it should be fertilized immediately after the last batch of flowers are picked, mainly organic fertilizer, with an appropriate amount of phosphate and potash fertilizer. Improve the winter resistance of honeysuckle plants. The first topdressing was carried out after sprouting in early spring, which was mainly organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer to promote shoot growth and leaf development. After the first flower picking, the second fertilizer was applied, combined with nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer to promote flower bud differentiation.

3. Fertilization method

Generally, there are two ways to fertilize honeysuckle, one is annular ditch fertilization, which is to dig an annular ditch around each honeysuckle, generally 40 cm wide and 30 cm deep, mix organic fertilizer with compound fertilizer, and then sprinkle fertilizer evenly in the ditch, and finally cover the soil to conserve water and fertilizer. The second is the ditch fertilization method, which is to dig a ditch 30 cm wide and 50 cm deep between the rows of honeysuckle. After the fertilizer is mixed with the soil, it is evenly applied into the ditch, and then covered with soil. This method requires high fertilizer, it needs to be fully mature, and the fertilizer needs to be broken before application.

4. Selection of fertilizer varieties

The fertilizers applied should also be selected. Organic fertilizers such as chicken manure, pig manure and human manure can increase yield and improve quality, while in fertilizing honeysuckle, it is best to choose a high-temperature fermented or retted organic fertilizer to avoid root burns or infection of diseases and insect pests. Nitrogen fertilizer can promote plant growth and development, phosphorus fertilizer can promote root development, and potassium fertilizer can improve crop quality and stress resistance, so compound fertilizer should be applied properly when topdressing.
