Winter pruning of goji berry is timely now; growers should not miss the farming season
After a year of growth, the goji berry tree has numerous branches and a messy canopy, and while new fruiting branches form, some fruiting branches have already begun to age. Therefore, goji berry must be pruned in winter, otherwise the yield and quality of the following year will be affected. Through pruning, out with the old and in with the new, selecting and retaining the old-eye branches and seven-inch branches with strong fruiting capacity, and cutting off non-productive branches, can lay a good foundation for the old-eye branches to bear fruit and grow new fruiting branches the following year. Top cutting: for ease of management, the tree height needs to be controlled by top cutting. Generally, tree height should

Detailed Explanation of Angelica Harvest Time and Methods
For autumn direct-seeded angelica, harvest occurs in the second year; for transplanted angelica, harvest occurs in the same year, after the plants turn yellow and withered in mid-October. Natural conditions vary from place to place, so harvest times differ to some extent. For example, in Minxian, Gansu, harvest is 3 to 5 days after Frost's Descent; in production areas of Sichuan, harvest is around Frost's Descent; in Yan'an, Shaanxi, it is in late October or early November. Harvesting should not be too early or too late. If too early, the angelica is not yet fully mature, which reduces yield and quality; if too late, the soil freezes, the roots become brittle and break easily, causing excessive loss. Generally, it is best to harvest before the soil freezes and when the plants are yellow and wilted. About 10 to 15 days before harvest, first cut off the angelica stems and leaves, leaving stubble about 3 cm tall so the plants can be identified during harvest. This allows the ground to be exposed to the sun and speeds up maturation. At the same time, livestock trampling should be prevented to avoid rotting of the heads. When harvesting, dig with a hoe: first hollow out the soil beneath the plants, then dig them over from above and take them out. This allows the entire root to be dug out and prevents breaking or injuring the roots. After digging, in conjunction with turning the soil, pick up once more any roots that were missed or broken during digging. After harvesting, transport them back to the processing site and tie them into bundles for processing. Generally, the yield is 100 to 150 kg of dried angelica per mu, and high-yielding fields can reach 250 to 300 kg per mu.

Licorice should not be stored for too long; the storage time of medicinal materials must be reasonably controlled
Licorice is generally stored as compressed bales wrapped in burlap, each weighing 50 kg, kept in a dry, ventilated place, with a safe moisture content of 12%-14% for the commodity. There are more than ten kinds of warehouse pests of licorice, including the coffee bean weevil, the brown mulberry borer, and the four-spotted chestnut borer. Fumigation with nitrogen or carbon dioxide for 514 hours can kill all adults and larvae, with no obvious change in the inner quality of licorice. Licorice is prone to mildew. If the air humidity is too high, mold spots or white and green mycelium easily appear on the surface of licorice. The following measures can be taken for prevention and control
