Edible Lily Cultivation Methods and Key Technical Points
1. Site selection and land preparation. It is best to choose a site whose previous crop was beans, melons, or vegetables, ideally with high, dry, sunny terrain, deep and loose soil, and good drainage. Before planting, plow the soil deeper than 25 cm, then break it up finely and rake it level to make raised beds or flat beds 1.3 m wide, with furrow width of 30 cm, and dig deeper drainage ditches around the perimeter to facilitate drainage. In hilly areas, flat beds may also be used. 2. Propagation methods. In cultivation, mainly daughter bulbs are used for propagation, though bulbils or daughter bulbs can also be used. When propagating with daughter bulbs, the

Methods and Technical Key Points for Storing Lilies in Sand
Storing lilies buried in fine sand limits the oxygen supply available for their respiration to a certain extent, which helps prevent aging. At the same time, the temperature and humidity in the fine sand remain relatively stable. In the early storage period, when the lilies respire vigorously, the sand can absorb part of the moisture; in the later storage period, when the lily bulbs need moisture, the fine sand can supply some of it again, thereby keeping the lilies in a relatively suitable storage environment throughout. Sand storage can keep lilies until the following spring. Pre-storage handling: lilies prefer warmth and fear cold, and cannot tolerate wind; after exposure to wind, the scales easily turn red and dry out.

What are the key technical points for field management of mountain lilies?
(1) Loosening the soil and weeding: Carry out loosening and weeding 1 to 2 times each spring. Once the plants have grown and closed the rows, loosening and weeding can be stopped; using weeds to provide shade and lower the temperature can extend the life of the plants. (2) Topdressing: Each autumn, spread a layer of cover manure on the bed surface, which can help keep it warm. In spring, turn it into the soil along with loosening to serve as topdressing. In summer, when the leaves are found to be yellowing and thin, spray the foliage with 0.2% monopotassium phosphate, 1% urea, or 0.1% ammonium molybdate, etc. (3) Bud removal: In production fields, to promote bulb

Key Technical Points for Silkworm Rearing, Cocoon Harvesting and Cocoon Selling
I) Cocoon harvesting 1. Proper time for cocoon harvesting: After the mature silkworm finishes spinning its cocoon, it molts and pupates. As the pupa develops, the body skin hardens and darkens in color. When the skin color turns yellow, it is the proper time for cocoon harvesting. In the spring silkworm season, it is 6-7 days after mounting on the cocooning frame. In the summer-autumn silkworm season, it is 5-6 days after mounting, and in the late-autumn silkworm season, it is 7-8 days after mounting; generally the cocoons can then be harvested. If cocoons are harvested too early, the silkworm has not yet pupated, and "hairy-foot" cocoons are difficult to dry evenly and suitably during cocoon drying, lowering cocoon quality; moreover, when such cocoons are boiled, the impurities in the silkworm body readily seep out into the cocoon layer, worsening the color of the raw silk.

Detailed Explanation of the Key Technical Points in Propolis Processing and Production
Propolis is hailed as "the guardian angel of human health" and has broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects, so it is also called a "broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent"; propolis can remove harmful substances from the blood, reduce blood viscosity, and effectively prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases, so it is also known as the "scavenger of the blood": propolis has a killing effect on cancer cells and is called "good news for cancer patients": it also has a clear blood sugar-lowering effect and can effectively treat diabetes and its complications, so it is also called "the nemesis of diabetes." However, the amount of propolis produced by each colony is relatively small (about 300 grams).

Key Technical Points and Management Methods for Raising Hyplus Rabbits
The Hyplus composite strain meat rabbit is a hybrid breed developed by the French company Euro Rabbit in the late 1970s. It was bred from nine original breeds through different crossbreeding combinations and selection trials. One of the most notable characteristics of this breed is its high meat yield, reaching up to 59%, which is the highest among current meat rabbit breeds. The meat is tender, and adult commercial rabbits weigh an average of 4.5 kg. After decades of breeding, it has become one of the main breeds in the current meat rabbit market. Yuncheng City was among the earlier areas in our province to develop it, and Hyplus rabbit raising is currently developing well. Housing

What are the key technical points for post-harvest management of jujube trees?
1. Apply fruit-harvest fertilizer well. Apply fruit-harvest fertilizer once 3-4 days before harvest or 5-7 days after harvest. Generally apply 50-60 kg of organic fertilizer per jujube tree, applying it by the trenching method at the base of the main trunk of the jujube tree, and cover with soil immediately after application. 2. Spray quick-acting fertilizer. Immediately after harvest, spray 0.3-0.4% urea solution and 0.4%-0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves to avoid leaf drop, improve photosynthetic efficiency after harvest, accumulate and increase tree nutrients, promote more flower bud differentiation, and reduce

Methods and Technical Key Points for the Fresh-keeping and Storage of Jun Jujube
Red beauty, nourishing life. For thousands of years, red jujube has been regarded as an excellent product for beautifying the complexion, resisting aging, and promoting longevity, and it is also one of the important food sources for the survival of people in jujube-growing areas and for getting through famines. Red jujube is different from ordinary dried and fresh fruits; it combines medicinal, health-care, and edible functions in one. As a rare fruit and the "king of vitamin C," Jun Jujube, as one of the four famous jujubes of Shanxi, is favored by consumers for its unique shape, deep red color, thin skin and thick flesh, small pit and large fruit, and crisp, sweet, fragrant taste. According to measurements, every 100 g of fresh Jun Jujube contains sugar

Control Methods and Technical Key Points for the Jujube Mealybug on Jujube Trees
(1) Manual and physical control. Bark scraping: During winter and early spring, scrape off the old coarse bark on the trunk, branches and forks and burn it in a centralized manner; spray the whole tree with 3-5 degrees Baume lime sulfur mixture, or apply a sticky insect glue ring about 1-2 cm wide on the main trunk and branches, to prevent the insects from climbing up the tree and from moving from concentrated overwintering branches to non-concentrated overwintering branches to cause damage, and to trap and kill some of the pests. (2) Chemical control. The application time should be chosen during the peak hatching period of the newly hatched nymphs, generally from late May to early June, early to mid-July, and early September. The selected pesticides include: 25% buprofezin

Cultivation Methods and Technical Key Points for Intercropping Garlic in Cotton Fields
When garlic is intercropped in cotton fields, each mu can produce 93 kg of lint cotton and 1,300 kg of garlic, with a benefit of about 3,300 yuan per mu. 1. Cotton: Use insect-resistant hybrid cotton varieties such as Kemian No. 3 and Kemian No. 6. Before sowing, deeply plow the land 25 cm, and together with plowing, apply 3,000 kg of decomposed livestock and poultry manure and 60 kg of potassium sulfate compound fertilizer per mu. Broadcast 2-3 kg of 5% phoxim granules per mu to control underground pests. The suitable sowing period for cotton in Pizhou City is around April 3. Seize sunny days to raise seedlings in double-film nutritional pots. Prepare about 3,000 pots per mu of field. After watering the seedbed thoroughly, sow dry seeds, 1 seed per pot. About 0.35 kg of coated cotton seed is needed per mu of field. After full emergence, ventilate promptly to reduce humidity and control pests and diseases, and cultivate strong seedlings. Transplant around May 12 when cotton seedlings are at the 4-leaf stage, using equal-row spacing with a row spacing of 1.2 m and a plant spacing of 33 cm, planting about 1,700 plants per mu. In mid-to-late May, together with hilling, apply 15-20 kg of urea, 50 kg of superphosphate, and 20 kg of potassium chloride per mu. Around July 20, apply flower and boll fertilizer according to cotton growth, with 30 kg of urea and 15 kg of potassium chloride per mu. In early August, apply topdressing for boll development, with 7.5-10 kg of urea per mu. Pay attention to spraying trace element solutions such as boron fertilizer and monopotassium phosphate. Use mepiquat chloride for chemical regulation 4 times: 1-1.5 g per mu at the full bud stage, 2-2.5 g per mu at the early flowering stage, 3-4 g per mu at the full flowering stage, and 3-5 g per mu after topping. Top around August 6. Pay attention to controlling the third generation of cotton bollworm, cotton aphid, mirids, red spider mites, tobacco whitefly, and other pests. Pull up cotton stalks in mid-November.
