Preliminary Report on the Results of Substrate Replacement Cultivation Trials of Gastrodia elata
Artificial cultivation of Gastrodia elata mainly uses the trunks of broadleaf trees such as oak, birch, hazel, elm, willow, jujube, pagoda tree, and wild cherry, and requires a diameter of more than 5 cm. For a long time, this has caused severe damage to forest resources, which are now on the verge of exhaustion. Therefore, research on substrate replacement cultivation techniques for Gastrodia elata has gradually become a hot topic. There are already precedents for substrate replacement cultivation using corn cobs, shrub stems, corn cobs, corn pith, branches, and straw, but no reports on the cultivation of Gastrodia elata with cottonseed hulls have been seen. For this reason, this trial was conducted, and the preliminary results are reported as follows: 1 Materials and

What serious consequences can result from not pruning Schisandra chinensis?
Some fruit growers, after cultivating Schisandra chinensis, stick stubbornly to their own views. Acting on traditional thinking, they do not prune, obstinately believing that "the wild Schisandra chinensis on the mountain is not pruned by anyone either, yet it still blooms every year and bears fruit year after year. Why is it that when cultivated artificially, it instead needs pruning? Isn't that a waste of labor and effort?" Little do they know that although wild Schisandra chinensis bears fruit every year, the amount of fruit borne per individual plant is very low, generally not even reaching one jin. Because of the influence of light and ventilation, only the few branches that climb to the highest point can bear fruit, and affected by the
