Honeysuckle cultivation and pruning techniques

Honeysuckle, also known as double flowers, silver flowers, etc., has a long history of cultivation in Linyi, Shandong Province. Honeysuckle is widely used, has the functions of heat-clearing, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory and anti-tussive. It is widely used in the clinical and pharmaceutical industries. It is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine and is used in summer in Southeast Asian countries to replace tea. In recent years, it has been found that its medicinal properties are very high. Many new products have been developed. In particular, it has been found that honeysuckle has a preventive and inhibitory effect on epidemic and infectious viruses, and the price has soared from the original 40 per kilogram. Yuan, increased to 450-500 yuan, the economic income is very impressive. Honeysuckle not only has high medicinal value and economic value, but also has ornamental value. The stems and leaves are green and green, and the flowers are fragrant and fragrant. They can be used for making bonsai and garden greening. Due to rapid growth, luxuriant branches and leaves, the root system develops and forms a root net. Therefore, embankment bank protection is very strong, and it has the effect of maintaining soil erosion. In addition, honeysuckle is rich in nutrients and is a feed for livestock. The rattan is long and soft and can be used to weave various craftwork. With the continuous development of resources development and research, the use of honeysuckle as a raw material for health drinks and daily necessities, such as silver tea, silver cola, Yinhua wine, Yinhua toothpaste, etc., is an economic plant with great development potential. 1. Cultivation and Management Honeysuckle is very adaptable, and its cultivation and management requirements are not high. It can be planted in saline-alkali land, sandy beaches, etc. Where there are irrigated conditions, it can be planted throughout the year, there is no place for irrigated mountain deserts, etc. in the rainy season. Planting. When planting, shoots with a length of 1 to 2 years are first cut into 30-35 cm lengths, and the lower leaves are removed and buried in the soil. The ground part exposes 1 to 2 pairs of leaf buds, and then the soil is sealed. On the mountainous terrain, 3 to 5 plants per hole are planted. The distance between the holes is determined according to the topography. The general row spacing is 1.5 to 2 meters, and the row spacing in the plain area is generally 2 meters. Another cultivation method is cutting seedlings, breeding in nursery nursery, watering once after planting, new roots can be grown after half a month, transplanting in early spring the next year, the survival rate can reach more than 95%. In the spring, topdressing once to promote flower fat, into the fall to cut off the aging branches, loose soil, apply organic fertilizer or superphosphate around the pier, the mountain land after the completion of the first flower after the dressing should be timely, improve The production of pod flowers. Due to the long history of honeysuckle cultivation, different cultivars are formed in different regions. The growth characteristics and disease resistance of different varieties are different, and the quality and yield of medicinal materials are also significantly different. The varieties that perform well under natural conditions include big hairy flowers, chicken claw flowers, and white crown flowers. The advantages are high yield, strong disease resistance, rich nutrition, and good quality of medicinal materials. Planting should be based on the actual situation in the local area, make appropriate choices. 2. Pruning and Pruning Pruning is carried out after the autumn leaves fall to the spring before germination. Generally it is Mongche light shear, weak branches strong shear, branch branches are all cut, pruning branches should pay attention to the new branches to grow to have favorable ventilation and light transmission. For fine and weak branches, old branches, basal branches, etc. all cut off, the pruning of the land with poor fertilizer and water conditions should be heavier, and the aging of the old age cut off the old branches and promote new branches. The young plants are mainly cultured plants and should be lightly cut. Generally, 4 to 5 main branches are planted on the mountainous land plots, and 1 to 2 main branches are to be left on the plains. Roughly upright. Plastic surgery is carried out in conjunction with pruning. In principle, it is based on fertilizer and water management to promote the overall use of space, increase the amount of foliage, make the plant type more reasonable, and can significantly increase flower production. The flowering time after pruning is relatively concentrated, which is convenient for harvesting and processing. Generally, the branches can be erected after cutting, and the removal of thin and weak branches and basal branches is beneficial to the formation of new flowers. After flower cutting and cutting, cutting topdressing once available nitrogen fertilizer, pouring a water, prompting the early pod flowers, so that a year can receive 4 times the flower, an average of 667 square meters can produce dried flowers 150 ~ 200kg. 3, pest control Honeysuckle during the growth period is mainly affected by aphids, spider mites, tiger days, brown spots, damage, aphids harm a long time, mainly damage to the plant's tender leaves, tender and slightly back. Spraying should be even and thorough, control aphids can be used 20% chlorbenazolone WP 2000 ~ 2500 times, or 10% worms refined oil 5000 ~ 6000 times solution. Prevention and control of spider mites can be used 73% chlorate EC 1500 times or 35% phosphothiocyanide 1000 times, every 5 ~ 6d spray once, you can even spray twice. Tiger longicorn is a pest that damages stem borer. It is more difficult to prevent and control it. It is necessary to adopt manual capture and chemical prevention methods to eliminate it. Due to the poor activity of the adult tiger hornbill, it can be manually captured and destroyed. For larvae damaging the stem, 80% dichlorvos may be used to smear the stem hole, or use a cotton wool to dip the dichlorvos into the fistula with a wire to prevent and kill. Some years of brown spot disease occur severely, usually from July to August. In the initial stage of disease, 75% Miconazole WP can be sprayed at 700-800 times, or 25% radomemil 1500 times, 25% Amishi. 1000 to 1500 times liquid control, and even spray twice can effectively control the disease. 4. Harvesting timely harvesting, timely drying, usually after the second year to see the flowers, the third year began picking, picking time from the end of May, when the bud began to rise, the color of blue or yellow white picking Best, the best quality buds picked in the morning, picking should be light, gently, gently. Since picking is a busy and meticulous job, it is time-sensitive and people should be focused on picking and picking in places where the cultivation area is large. If the buds are not opened in time for harvesting, not only the quality is poor, but the yield is also low. After picking, it should be promptly aired. In a clean place, the flowers should be spread on the dry ground. The thickness is 1.5~2cm, and it can be dried in 2 days. If it encounters cloudy or rainy days, it can be dried and dehydrated in the room. Generally, the quality of dried flowers is good. When the temperature is early baked, the temperature is controlled at 40°C. After discharging most of the water in the buds, the temperature is raised to 55°C. The buds were quickly dried, then the temperature was lowered to 35°C, excess water was drained, and the drying was about 3% more than drying. When drying, it is best to smoke with sulfur, smoked flowers can maintain more active ingredients, good color, high quality, with 2kg of sulfur per 100kg bud, after processing buds stored in a dry place.
