A Detailed Guide to the Application of Fresh-keeping Technology for Exported Garlic
Garlic is one of the main varieties of agricultural products exported from China, with an annual export volume of about 300,000 tonnes. Of this, refrigerated (fresh-keeping) garlic accounts for about 60% of total exports. Therefore, whether the fresh-keeping technology is mature has a direct impact on the quality of exported fresh-keeping garlic. I. The fresh-keeping principle of garlic. After the cloves of a garlic bulb develop and mature, the bulb immediately enters a dormancy period of 1-2 months, during which it will not sprout even under suitable environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and gas composition. After the dormancy period, the bud sheath and bud primordium begin to grow and become active, and under suitable conditions the young sprouts gradually germinate. In practice, the storage and fresh-keeping of garlic means that after the dormancy period of the bulb, necessary measures are taken to create unsuitable growing conditions and thereby force it to remain dormant. That is, through appropriate low-temperature, low-oxygen and other measures, its intensity of life activity is inhibited, the rate of consumption of its substances is reduced, and its original fresh state is maintained.

A new method for keeping garlic fresh, teaching you to store it longer
5-10 days before harvesting garlic, spray the basal leaves with a 0.2% maleic hydrazide (MH) sprout inhibitor. The MH sprout inhibitor is absorbed through the leaves and transferred to the young sprouts of the garlic cloves, thereby inhibiting their growth and achieving the purpose of keeping them fresh. With this method, garlic can be stored until April of the following year. The following points should be noted when spraying the chemical: 1. Do not water for 3-4 days before spraying the solution. If rain occurs within 24 hours after spraying, immediately re-spray the solution once at the original dosage after the weather clears. 2. Strictly control the concentration of the maleic hydrazide (MH) sprout inhibitor, which must not exceed 0.

Intercropping honeysuckle yields well, with high returns from multiple harvests on one plot
Honeysuckle is a commonly used bulk Chinese medicinal herb, with wide uses and high value. It is currently in short supply on the market, and there is even a phenomenon of a price with no goods available. According to the growth characteristics of honeysuckle, adopting a high-efficiency intercropping model of widening rows and reducing plant spacing, rational close planting, intercropping medicinal herbs, and using "medicinal herbs" to support "flowers" can achieve the effect of "planting flowers in the current year, seeing results in the current year." Scientific close planting increases yield and income 1. Field cultivation. In autumn, winter or early spring, on the selected plot, apply 5000 kg of organic fertilizer, 100 kg of superphosphate, and 30 kg of sulfur

Hokkaido euonymus is a new variety among landscaping nursery stock
Hokkaido euonymus (Euonymus japonicus L.): Celastraceae, Euonymus. Native to Hokkaido, Japan. An evergreen broadleaf tree species with an upright posture, evergreen throughout the four seasons, and tolerant of shaping and pruning. After being introduced to Beijing and through cultivation and acclimatization, it has become a new tree species extremely strong in cold and drought resistance that adapts to the northern climate. In northern China, where winters and springs are dry, cold, and windy, evergreen broadleaf tree species that are cold- and drought-resistant are extremely lacking. Hokkaido euonymus, however, has very good cold and drought resistance, can endure low temperatures of -23°C, and is more drought-tolerant than common euonymus. With luxuriant branches and leaves, four

How does garden balsam damping-off occur?
Garden balsam damping-off is widespread in China and is a common disease in garden balsam cultivation, causing serious damage. The disease mainly infects the root and stem base. Symptoms: after the root and stem are affected, there is black constriction; when the environment is humid, white mold-like growth appears on the diseased part; the pathogen spreads rapidly and occurs severely, causing the upper leaves to wilt and dry up within a few days, and in severe cases the whole plant dies. The pathogen Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn is called Rhizoctonia solani, a fungus of the Deuteromycotina. This fungus does not produce spores; after the hyphae grow for a certain time, they interweave to form sclerotia,

What problems exist in disease prevention for urban dog keeping?
Abstract: Currently, pets are developing rapidly in both urban and rural areas of China, especially the keeping of pet dogs in cities. In order to avoid and reduce the spread of canine diseases and zoonoses, this paper proposes standardizing the pet market, improving medical standards, and raising awareness and adopting countermeasures for rabies, canine distemper, and dog-human shared parasitic diseases. Urban residents mostly treat dogs as pets, and even when a dog dies, they cannot bear to eat it or send it to a restaurant; this is the custom of people's love for pet dogs over thousands of years. According to historical records, as early as 10,000 years ago, Persians and

Storage and Fresh-keeping Techniques for Peach, Plum and Apricot Fruits (Part Two)
III. Pre-storage Agricultural Measures for Peach, Plum and Apricot 1. Selection of Storage Varieties Early-maturing varieties are not tolerant of storage and transport, such as honey peach and Wuyuexian. Mid- and late-maturing varieties have better storage and transport tolerance, such as Feicheng peach, Qingzhou honey peach and Shaanxi winter peach, which are relatively tolerant of storage and transport; varieties such as Okubo and Gangshanbai, Yanhong also have good storage and transport tolerance. Clingstone varieties and soft-fleshed varieties have poor storage and transport tolerance. The storage and transport tolerance of plum and apricot is similar to that of peach; varieties such as Niuxin plum and Hebei rock sugar plum have good quality and are also tolerant of storage. 2. Pre-harvest Agricultural Technical Measures Pre-harvest

Garlic Storage and Fresh-Keeping Methods and Key Technical Points
Storage of garlic sprouts, garlic scapes and fresh garlic bulbs ① Ice cellar storage: Choose a shaded, sealed room or basement as the cellar. The cellar floor should have a drainage ditch leading outside, spread a 0.8 m thick layer of ice on the floor, and build ice 0.5 m thick against the walls, up to near the roof. Tie garlic sprouts or garlic scapes into bundles of 1 kg, put them into plastic film bags with 15 kg per bag, tie the outside with rope and stack them in the cellar, filling each layer with ice fragments, stacking until about 2 m from the roof, then seal with a layer of ice on top, and spread a 1 m layer of rice husks over it to seal tightly and prevent the ice from melting. This allows garlic to be stored for more than half a year.
