A Detailed Guide to the Planting Time, Methods and Key Technical Points for Sophora flavescens
Sophora flavescens has been cultivated in our country for a very long time, and records about it date back to ancient times. Sophora flavescens currently sells well on the market in our country. This has inspired many people to want to grow it. Before planting, one must have a ⟦4 <p>Sophora flavescens has been cultivated in our country for a very long time, and records about it date back to ancient times. Sophora flavescens currently sells well on the market in our country. This has inspired many people to want to grow it. Before planting, one must have an in-depth understanding of it.</p><p></p><p><strong>Cultivation Techniques for Sophora flavescens</strong></p><p>1. Site selection and land preparation: Sophora flavescens is a deep-rooted plant. It is best to choose sandy loam and clay loam with deep, fertile soil and good drainage. Apply compound fertilizer, plow and turn the soil 20—25 cm deep, break up clods and level the soil, and make beds 1.5 m wide.</p><p>2. Seed propagation: Seed treatment must be carried out before sowing. Method: soak the seeds in warm water at 40-50 degrees C for 10-12 hours, then remove them, drain them slightly, and sow; alternatively, stratify them with wet sand (mix seeds and wet sand at 1:3) for 20-30 days before sowing.</p><p></p><p>3. Root division propagation: This can be done in both spring and autumn. Autumn planting is carried out after leaf fall, and spring planting before bud break. Both spring and autumn planting are done in combination with the harvest of Sophora flavescens. Dig out the mother plant, cut off the thick roots for medicinal use, then, according to the number of buds and roots on the mother plant, cut it into several plants with a knife; each plant must have 2-3 roots and buds. Plant the seedlings at the above spacing between plants and rows, with 1 plant per hole. After planting, cover with soil and water thoroughly.</p><p>4. Drilling or hole sowing. From the perspective of field management, hole sowing is better. Some also use seedling raising and transplanting, but transplanting is rather troublesome. First rake the bed surface repeatedly, then dig holes at a row spacing of 40-50 cm and a plant spacing of 30 cm, with holes about 3 cm deep, sow 6-8 seeds per hole, cover level, and press lightly. The sowing rate is 2 kg per mu. For drilling, the row spacing is 30 cm and the plant spacing is 20 cm, using 4 kg of seed per mu.</p><p></p><p><strong>Planting Time and Methods for Sophora flavescens</strong></p><p>1. Sowing time. Both spring sowing and autumn sowing are acceptable. After autumn sowing, mulching is needed, otherwise the soil surface tends to crust, which is not good for emergence in spring. Autumn sowing should be early rather than late; sowing can be done as soon as the seeds mature, and at the latest it must be completed before the soil freezes. Spring sowing should be done around Qingming, when the soil moisture is good, which favors emergence.</p><p>2. Sophora flavescens is propagated by seed and can also be propagated by division. The sowing period is divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing. Spring sowing is around Qingming, and autumn sowing is before the soil freezes. Seed propagation: before sowing, first soak the Sophora flavescens seeds in water at about 50 degrees C for 10—12 hours. Then sow them in holes at a row and plant spacing of 65×50 cm on the prepared bed surface, water to preserve soil moisture, and promote emergence. The sowing rate is 2 kg per mu. Place 3—5 seeds per hole. Division propagation: cut the rhizome of Sophora flavescens into several pieces according to the number of buds; each piece has 2—3 buds and is used as propagation material. After the wounds heal, plant them on the prepared bed surface at a row and plant spacing of 65×50 cm. Water to preserve soil moisture and promote survival.</p><p>3. After the Sophora flavescens seedlings emerge evenly, for large-scale planting, a herbicide for medicinal fields should be used for soil treatment before emergence, which can effectively control various weeds. Water promptly in dry weather, and pay attention to drainage in rainy weather. After budding, except for plants kept for seed, the flower buds should be removed to prevent nutrient consumption. Fertilize once around the Beginning of Autumn each year: apply 10 kg of urea and 10 kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate per mu. In winter, spread a layer of farmyard manure on the bed surface.</p><p></p><p><strong>Field Management of Sophora flavescens</strong></p><p>1. Reasonable irrigation and drainage. Irrigate promptly in drought and after fertilizing to keep the soil moist. In the rainy season, pay attention to drainage to prevent waterlogging and root rot.</p><p>2. Cultivation and weeding. During the seedling stage, cultivation, weeding and earthing up should be carried out to keep the field free of weeds and the soil loose and moist, so as to favor the growth of Sophora flavescens.</p><p>3. Topdressing. On the basis of applying sufficient base fertilizer, topdress 2 times each year: the 1st time in mid-to-late May, applying 2000 kg of diluted manure water per mu; the 2nd time in early-to-mid August, mainly with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Poor plots should appropriately increase the number of fertilizer applications.</p><p>4. Flower removal. Except for seed plots, the flowering stems should be cut off in time to avoid consuming nutrients.</p><p></p><p><strong>Harvesting and Processing of Sophora flavescens</strong></p><p>1. Harvesting. Dig the roots in autumn 2-3 years after sowing, after the stems and leaves wither. Because the roots go deep, dig deeply, and be careful not to break them. They can also be turned up and harvested with a deep plowing plough.</p><p>2. Processing. Spread the recovered Sophora flavescens roots out to dry separately according to the length of the root strips, and remove the rhizome heads and tail roots. Dry in the sun or by artificial drying and it is ready.</p><p></p><p>The cultivation method of Sophora flavescens is relatively simple, and the main thing is to do a good job in site selection. In terms of timing, sowing is generally possible in the two seasons of spring and autumn. After sowing, field management of Sophora flavescens also needs to be strengthened; reasonable fertilizer and water management and timely weeding must not be neglected. Only after doing these well can the growth of Sophora flavescens be ensured.</p>

During the growing period, phosphate fertilizer may be applied appropriately, with less nitrogen fertilizer. No topdressing is needed in the middle and late stages. Top promptly and actively prevent and control pests and diseases.</p> <p></p> <p>As a traditional material, fennel has long followed relatively traditional techniques and methods in cultivation. Although science and technology continue to develop and have had a certain impact on fennel cultivation, growers still need to keep exploring if fennel cultivation is to become more high-quality and efficient.</p><p></p><p><strong>I. Fennel Cultivation Techniques</strong></p><p>1. Sowing methods</p><p>(1) Main sowing includes winter sowing (seed-ball sowing) and spring and autumn sowing.</p><p>(2) Winter sowing: before winter of the previous year, sow the seeds into frozen farmland that has been salted and has suitable soil moisture (in the Kashgar reclamation area, November 25 to December 5, or using a 3 cm soil temperature below 5°C as the indicator), and harvest in the second year.</p><p>(3) Spring sowing: sow, manage and harvest in the spring of the same year (the degree to which spring sowing is advanced has a non-linear positive correlation with harvested fennel yield).</p><p>(4) Autumn sowing: carry out autumn sowing around September.</p><p>(5) Intercropping sowing: taking advantage of fennel's short growth period, after sowing wide-and-narrow-row crops under plastic film in spring, intercrop fennel in the wide rows. Intercropping sowing is suitable before April 12 or when the 5 cm soil temperature is no higher than 15°C.</p><p></p><p>2. Variety selection</p><p>It is advisable to choose Shache small fennel with strong branching ability, high yield, lodging resistance, and plump seeds that have been purified, rejuvenated and screened.</p><p>3. Sowing requirements</p><p>(1) Main sowing of fennel includes hole sowing and drill sowing.</p><p>(2) Winter sowing is mainly hole sowing (row spacing 20-30 cm, hole spacing 9-12 cm), spring sowing is mainly drill sowing (30 cm equal row spacing, plant spacing 5-8 cm), and intercropping sowing uses hole sowing, with sowing depth 1.5-2.5 cm, pressed down after sowing, and seeding rate 22.5-30 kg per hectare (1000-grain weight 1.3-1.8 g).</p><p>(3) Hole sowing: 300,000-500,000 holes per hectare, with 1.4-2 million seedlings retained; drill sowing: 1.5-1.8 million seedlings retained.</p><p></p><p><strong>II. Field Management of Fennel</strong></p><p>1. Thinning and final singling</p><p>When the seedlings grow to 5-6 cm, start thinning. Follow the principle of “thin early and single timely”, keeping the superior and removing the inferior. Remove excess small, weak and diseased seedlings promptly. Generally thin 2—3 times, with final plant spacing 40—50 cm, retaining 2500—3000 plants per mu.</p><p>2. Cultivation and weeding</p><p>About 30 days after sowing fennel, a full stand is reached. Because the seedling stage is long and the seedlings are small and weak, they are very susceptible to weed damage, or the soil may crust after rain, so cultivate early and frequently, and break up crusts promptly after rain. Weeds in the seedling rows should be pulled out by hand as early as possible to promote seedling growth.</p><p></p><p>3. Irrigation and fertilization</p><p>(1) Fennel has a shallow root system at the seedling stage, weak water absorption capacity, relatively wide plant and row spacing, poor shading, and large soil moisture evaporation, making drought likely, so irrigate early. Generally, the first irrigation is around May 15.</p><p>(2) Irrigation in the middle and late stages follows the principle of “watching the sky, watching the soil, watching the growth”, handled flexibly, with 2—3 irrigations throughout the growth period.</p><p>(3) From mid-August, strictly control water and fertilizer to prevent excessive vegetative growth and late maturity. Seed-production fennel prefers phosphate fertilizer and should not be given too much nitrogen fertilizer. Generally, 7—8 kg of diammonium phosphate per mu is applied as topdressing together with the first irrigation. To control vegetative growth, no topdressing is generally applied in the middle and late stages.</p><p></p><p>4. Topping</p><p>(1) Fennel's main branch has strong growth dominance. If allowed to develop naturally, excessive vegetative growth becomes serious. Especially in the later stage, rainy weather can cause a large number of new flowers, resulting in many flowers but a low spike-setting rate, wasting nutrients and severely reducing yield. Therefore, top promptly to control plant growth, reasonably adjust population density, and adjust nutrient distribution in the plant.</p><p>(2) Generally top before flowering to remove apical dominance, promote seed setting, make flowering uniform, and improve yield and quality.</p><p>5. Harvest</p><p>Seed-production fennel seeds do not mature uniformly, some early and some late. In order to reduce seed loss and increase yield, staged and batch harvesting may be adopted. First harvest the early-maturing seeds in time, and then harvest all at once around October 10.</p><p></p><p><strong>III. Precautions for Fennel Cultivation</strong></p><p>1. To make emergence fast and uniform, it is best to soak and sprout the seeds before sowing. The method is to soak the seeds for 24 hours, then rub the seeds with your hands and wash them several times until the water is clear. Spread the wet seeds on burlap or a straw mat, place them in a cool place to dry slightly, then put them in a clay pot, cover with a wet cloth, and sprout at 16-23°C.</p><p>2. Fennel is mostly sown by the wet sowing method, that is, reserve soil for covering when making the bed, water the base before sowing, then scatter evenly and cover with soil. Fennel has a small leaf area and is very suitable for dense planting, with a seeding rate of 3-5 kg per mu.</p><p>3. If sowing dry seeds, pay attention to frequent small waterings after sowing to keep the bed surface moist and facilitate seedling emergence. After seedlings emerge, pay attention to timely weeding. Do not water excessively at the seedling stage; keep the bed surface alternating between dry and moist. For one-time harvest, thinning is generally not carried out. If multiple harvests are planned, thinning may be combined with weeding, with seedling spacing 5-6 cm. When the plants are about 10 cm tall, water frequently and apply quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer together with watering. When the plants are about 30 cm tall, they can be harvested.</p><p></p><p><strong>IV. Harvesting and Processing of Fennel</strong></p><p>1. Harvesting requirements</p><p>When the plants grow to about 30 cm, they can be harvested. Spring-sown fennel is harvested twice in the same year, while autumn-sown fennel is harvested only once in the same year. In areas where it overwinters in the open field, after harvesting begins in the following spring, it can be harvested again after more than 40 days, with 4-5 harvests throughout the year.</p><p>2. Storage characteristics and storage and transport methods</p><p>Fennel is a fresh vegetable and is mainly sold fresh. It is mostly produced locally and sold locally. If market demand requires, according to its storage characteristics of preferring low temperature and high humidity, it can be stored short-term or transported under suitable conditions (temperature, 0°C; relative humidity, about 95%).</p><p></p><p>At present, there are already many summaries of the traditional techniques of fennel cultivation, but to follow the trend of the times, achieve large-scale cultivation, and realize mechanized agricultural production still presents certain difficulties. Therefore, from this perspective, fennel cultivation still requires substantial input of talent and technology.</p>
