Characteristics of 1-year-old Taxus wallichiana var. mairei (southern Chinese yew) seedlings and key points of seedling-stage management
For container seedling raising of Taxus wallichiana var. mairei (southern Chinese yew), a container size of 8cm×12cm is appropriate. After sowing, the soil temperature should be in the range of 18-25°C; after about 25d the seeds can break through the soil and germinate, with uniform germination and a high germination rate. If the temperature is below the lower limit, the seeds are difficult to germinate, and the germination rate is low and uneven. After the seeds germinate, from early June to early October, shading with a shade net of about 50% light transmittance is required. The seedlings have strict requirements for water and fertilizer; in the middle and late growth stages, more phosphorus fertilizer should be applied to promote the increase of ground diameter, root system and biomass.

Propagation Methods and Technical Key Points for Taxus wallichiana var. mairei (Chinese yew)
Select a suitable nursery site: choose a fertile, loose, neutral or slightly acidic soil plot with good drainage, preferably a fertile plot within woodland or in semi-shade. Apply ample base fertilizer, rake level, and prepare the seedbed ready for planting. Seed propagation: seeds mature in October; after timely harvesting, place them in a mixture of water and fine sand (water-to-sand ratio 2:1). Rub the seeds on a washboard to remove the outer seed coat and wear down the hard fleshy seed coat. Choose a shady, dry plot with no water accumulation, dig a pit, and store the seeds mixed with wet river sand at a ratio of 1:2 in the pit. In March of the following year, take out the cleaned seeds and soak them in 50-degree baijiu and 40

What are the control methods for Fusarium wilt in Chinese orchids?
Symptoms: Fusarium wilt is a serious disease of Cymbidium plants. Severely affected plants die within a few weeks, while ordinary diseased plants can survive for one year or longer. The above-ground symptoms of Fusarium wilt are similar to those of root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, namely leaves turning yellow and wilting, pseudobulbs becoming thin and twisted, and ultimately root rot. However, Fusarium causes a bulbous purplish-red coloration, and eventually the rhizome is also affected and turns purplish-red. When the disease is severe, the pseudobulbs undergo deep rot. Onset

Artificial Keeping Methods and Technical Key Points for the Chinese Cobra
The white-banded snake, also known as the many-banded krait or the small-banded krait, has high medicinal and economic value. Its keeping methods are as follows: 1. Build reasonable pools. The snake pool is built of brick and stone, 2 m square and 1.5 m high, and can hold 15-20 snakes; putting in too many snakes makes management difficult. The pool walls are smoothed with cement, and a movable glass cap is added on top of the wall in a T shape to prevent escape. The bottom of the pool is the snakes' activity area, where weeds should be planted, and then snake nests should be built with sand, wooden boards, bricks and tiles, etc. Build a flowing water ditch and a bait basin in the pool, and cover the pool with
