Cotton chemical regulation has its finer points: master these technical essentials
In recent years, with the widespread popularization and application of insect-resistant cotton, plastic film mulching and chemical regulation technology, cotton farmers have shown some undesirable cultivation tendencies in cotton cultivation techniques, especially in chemical regulation technology (hereinafter referred to as chemical regulation). Failure to pay attention to timely and appropriately timed chemical regulation leads to excessive vegetative growth and rank growth in cotton fields, over-vigorous vegetative growth, and relatively serious shedding of squares, flowers and bolls, ultimately causing cotton plants to become tall, large and empty, with severe lodging when hit by wind and rain later on, resulting in relatively large losses. During chemical regulation, the goal should be to steadily build a high-yielding framework and increase squares and preserve bolls, mastering the

Key Technical Points for Mechanized Micro-Pot Seedling Raising of Cotton
Traditional nutrient pot seedling raising methods have drawbacks such as high labor demand, complex seedbed management and high labor intensity during transplanting. The mechanized micro-pot seedling raising technology for cotton, developed by the Institute of Industrial Crops of the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Jiangsu Agricultural Technology Extension Center, breaks through the long-standing traditional model of cotton seedling raising relying on manual work and achieves the goal of saving labor and effort in cotton seedling raising. At present, the mechanized micro-pot seedling raising technology is at the experimental demonstration stage and has not yet been promoted and applied on a large scale, and farmers do not sufficiently understand and master the technology. For this reason, our newspaper's reporter interviewed Associate Researcher Zhang Peitong, a cotton cultivation research expert at the Institute of Industrial Crops of the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, about the advantages and disadvantages and detailed technical procedures of mechanized micro-pot seedling raising.

Key Technical Points for Seed Treatment in Artificial Cultivation of Licorice
Licorice seeds have a hard seed coat and poor water absorption, with a germination rate of only 4-6%. Grinding or sulfuric acid treatment is needed to break the hard-seeded state and improve the germination rate and seedling emergence rate. I. Sulfuric acid treatment method. For each kilogram of clean seeds, mix evenly with 20-30 mL of 80% sulfuric acid. Once uniform sulfuric acid etching marks are visible on the seed coat, rinse with clean water and dry in the sun for later use. The treatment time depends on temperature and the amount of acid added. With the same amount of acid, higher temperatures require shorter treatment time, while lower temperatures require

Key Technical Points for Field Management in Licorice Cultivation
Thinning and Final Thinning: In the year of direct sowing, thin the seedlings when they are about 6 cm tall, with a plant spacing of 10-15 cm; in the second year, maintain a plant spacing of 30 cm for final thinning. Cultivation and Weeding: After licorice is planted, weeds must be removed frequently in the first year, and the soil should be loosened in a timely manner. Soil loosening should go from shallow to deep, and herbicides can also be used for weed control. By the second year, once the plants have grown larger, weeds can hardly grow, so cultivation and weeding may no longer be necessary. Topdressing: In addition to applying base fertilizer at sowing or planting, during each year's growing period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied as topdressing in early spring, with plant ash or compost applied per mu.

Key technical points and precautions for transplanting licorice
Generally, it is done in late autumn or early spring. In late autumn, before the land freezes; in early spring, around Qingming Festival, and no later than mid-April. The transplanting field should be prepared on the basis of autumn plowing from the previous year by making beds (bed width depends on a row spacing of 50 cm and how many rows are planted in the bed), then applying fertilizer. Dig up the seedlings grown the previous year after the ground at the field corners thaws, remove the aboveground parts and the lower growing points, and set them aside for use. In the prepared field, open furrows at a row spacing of 50 cm, 12 cm deep, then place the seedlings flat at the bottom of the furrow, with the heads placed obliquely toward the inner slope, at a slope of 10 degrees. When placing the seedlings, 2 rows

How to grow licorice for high yield? A full breakdown of the technical key points
1. Soil selection. Choose deep soil layers, good drainage, high-lying terrain, and sandy soil and sandy loam soil with relatively high calcium content. Waste flats and waste slopes with slightly alkaline soil and a pH between 7 and 8.5 can all be cultivated. Plots with low-lying terrain and heavy clay soil must not be planted. 2. Variety selection. Choose the new "Wosheng licorice" variety suitable for artificial cultivation. This variety has the following characteristics: First, strong adaptability, drought resistance, cold resistance, salt-alkali resistance, heat tolerance, and tolerance to poor soil. Its temperature adaptation range is 43 to 45°C. In areas with severe water shortage or relatively dry conditions, no wilting or death has been found, and it can adapt to weakly alkaline calcareous soil. At the same time, it is suitable for intercropping with young forest and fruit trees; second, a short growth cycle. With seedling raising and transplanting, the seedlings grow for 3 to 4 months, and after planting they can be harvested after 8 to 10 months of growth; third, fast growth. Because of its prostrate growth habit, combined with artificial cultivation techniques, it grows horizontally at 30 cm on the soil surface, and its absorption rate of natural conditions such as light, water, and fertilizer is high, so its growth speed is fast. Thirty days after sowing, 3 to 4 true leaves appear. At 60 days, the plant height is 30 cm, the root length can reach 20 cm, and the diameter is 0.5 cm; fourth, harvesting and processing are simple. All operations can be mechanized, less labor is used, and it can be sold after being naturally dried to 80 percent; fifth, high yield and good quality. The yield of medium rough grass per mu is more than 500 kg, and high-yielding fields can reach 800 kg. The skin is red, there are few branches, and the strips are uniform. It meets the standards of the national pharmacopoeia and complies with the germplasm requirements for building a GAP production base.

Detailed Explanation of Shiitake Mushroom Storage Methods and Key Technical Points
After shiitake mushrooms are dried, they easily absorb moisture again if not stored properly. This is especially true during the rainy season when temperatures are high and humidity is great, making mold and insect damage more likely. Therefore, after drying, the shiitake mushrooms should be quickly graded and packed into plastic bags, and a small packet of anhydrous sodium chloride should be added to prevent the sugars in the mushroom body from seeping out and causing discoloration. At the same time, to prevent insect damage, the storage room can be fumigated with sulfur disulfide for 24 hours before storage, and storage should begin only after the residual gas has been expelled.

Key Technical Points for Shiitake Mushroom Mycelial Growth and Soaking Management
After inoculation, the mycelium begins to germinate and colonize from days 1-6. At this time, the bag temperature is 1-3°C lower than the room temperature. The room temperature can be controlled at 28°C, and the indoor relative humidity should be kept below 70%. From days 7-15 of mycelial growth, the mycelium germinates and grows 4-5 cm. It is necessary to check whether the mycelial growth is normal. If contaminating microorganisms are found, promptly remove them from the cultivation room for handling, and maintain the room temperature at 24-27°C. Pay attention to ventilation. From days 16-25 of mycelial growth, the mycelium becomes interconnected. Remove the mycelial strips to allow oxygen to enter directly into the depths of the bag. After oxygen is introduced, the mycelial temperature rises rapidly within 12 hours.
