How do you set the row and plant spacing for Schisandra chinensis? How many methods are there?
There are now three methods for planting Schisandra chinensis: the first is a row spacing of 1.2 m and a plant spacing of 0.5 m; these are all older methods. Poor land and sandy land still use this planting method today. If the soil quality is good and the soil is fertile, this method cannot be used. The second is a row spacing of 1.4 m and a plant spacing of 0.4 m. This method suits good soil quality, has good ventilation and light penetration, is convenient for operations, and is not prone to pests and diseases. This method is currently used everywhere. The third is a row spacing of 1.4 m-1.5 m and a plant spacing of 0.5 m. This method separates the 2 vines of each plant into a plant spacing of 0.25 m for single-vine growth; for each plant's 2 vines, either two bamboo poles or woolen yarn can be inserted to train the vines.
