Ligustrum: Arbor-type Market Looks Promising, Shrub-type Prices Fall
Ligustrum is an evergreen tree or shrub of the genus Ligustrum in the family Oleaceae, and is one of the major products in China's landscaping nursery stock market. The common nursery varieties on the market are mainly small-leaf ligustrum, golden-leaf ligustrum, red-leaf ligustrum, etc. The main producing areas for ligustrum nursery stock are the 5 provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, among which Hunan and Jiangxi export relatively large quantities of large-specification arbor-type stock with a diameter at breast height of over 8 cm, and out-of-stock situations have appeared in quite a few areas. In 2004, the prices of Hunan stock with a diameter at breast height of 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 cm were 200, 300, 500, 1

How to identify high-quality fish fry? Just look at these few points
First, look at the size of the fry. In the same pond, the same species of fish should be uniform and even when harvested, with little difference in body length and body weight. On the contrary, poor-quality fry with large individual differences and uneven size often have a very low overall survival rate due to competition for food, mixed genetics, poor rearing, and other reasons. Second, look at the body color of the fry. High-quality fry have bright, glossy body colors. Different species and different rearing methods produce fry with different body colors. Generally speaking, high-quality silver carp fry should have a silver-gray back, with silvery-white sides and belly; high-quality grass carp fry are pale

Prospects for using mulberry stalks to grow edible fungi look promising
The Microbiology Experimental Plant of the Guangxi Academy of Sciences Institute of Biology recently invented a technique for growing edible fungi using mulberry branches and stalks, and is carrying out an industrialization demonstration in the sericulture experts' compound in Luoxi Town, Yizhou City, Guangxi. According to professionals, the mulberry stalks left over each year after sericulturists plant mulberry and raise silkworms can, after being processed and crushed, serve as the main raw material for cultivating edible fungi (oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, jade yellow mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, etc.), and using the mulberry stalks from each mu to cultivate edible fungi can increase income by more than 2000 yuan. Based on the county (city) with the largest mulberry and silkworm production base in the country

What treatment works well for chickens that crane their heads back to look at the sky and kneel on the ground?
In the process of raising chickens, you will often come across some chickens with strange, bizarre postures: the first is the head tilted backward, with both eyes looking up at the sky. The second is walking while kneeling on the ground. What disease are these two postures in chickens a sign of, and what methods are used to treat them? The first strange posture: head tilted backward, both eyes looking up at the sky. It is a sign that the chicken has VB1 deficiency. VB1, also known as thiamine, is a substance essential for carbohydrate metabolism in the chicken's body. Nervous tissue relies on the oxidation of carbohydrates to supply energy; if VB1 is deficient, then because of insufficient energy supply to its nervous tissue, nutritional disorders of the nerves will appear, leading to functional imbalance, and the sick chicken will show multiple neuritis. VB1 deficiency also slows the chicken's intestinal peristalsis, relaxes the intestinal wall, reduces appetite, and stunts growth. VB1 deficiency can occur in chickens of all ages, but chicks and young chickens are affected more often. Sick chickens have weakness in both legs and an unsteady gait; because of inflammation of the peripheral nerves, the head bends extremely backward, in a shape that looks like gazing at the sky. Prevention and treatment: First, supply enough VB1 in the chicken's diet; adding 0.8 to 0.9 mg per kilogram of feed for young chickens and adult chickens, and 1.5 mg per kilogram of feed for chicks, can prevent the occurrence of this disease; second, for chickens already affected, intramuscular injection of 5 mg of thiamine (the amount for one chicken), once a day, for five to seven consecutive days, gives an extremely good therapeutic effect.

Dust bathing has many benefits for chickens; poultry farmers should not overlook this practice
Giving chickens a "dust bath" is good. A "dust bath" is when chickens bathe in sand to remove dirt from their skin. This habit is a type of animal behavior. Every kind of poultry has certain fixed behaviors. Just as people feel very uncomfortable without bathing, chickens are the same - they like to bathe in sand, and "after bathing" they feel refreshed, comfortable, invigorated, and relaxed, just like people. People bathe with water; why do chickens like to bathe with sand? According to research, the ancestors of the red jungle fowl belonged to the bird family and lived in dry, sandy

Spider plants in bottles look fresher and more beautiful
Although potted spider plants are beautiful, they are not easy to care for. Growing spider plants in water-filled bottles is both attractive and charming, and also convenient to manage and easy to keep alive. First dig out a potted spider plant with a shape you like, wash off the soil, cut away the rotten leaves, remove its soil roots, and insert it into a wide-mouthed transparent glass bottle. Place it indoors and change the water once a day for seven days. After it has rooted, there is no need to change the water often; just keep the bottle full. You can also cut a new plantlet from the spider plant stem that has both leaves and roots and insert it directly into a glass bottle to grow in water. After a few days, new roots will keep growing from the plant,
