Key Points on Harvesting and Processing Techniques for Licorice (Part Three)
For licorice propagated from seed, harvest in the 4th year; for licorice propagated from rhizomes, harvest in the 3rd year. Harvesting can be done either before Grain in Ear (Mangzhong) or after White Dew (Bailu), but harvesting after White Dew is preferable. After digging them up, cut off the branches and twigs while fresh, sun-dry until half dry, tie into small bundles separately according to thickness, and sun-dry until completely dry. Quality specifications for dry goods: cylindrical in shape, thick at the top and thin at the bottom with no reed head, surface purplish-red or grayish-brown, rough skin, loose and light in texture, cross-section yellow-white, starchy, sweet in taste, free from impurities, insect damage, and mildew. Grade One: length over 60 cm, diameter over 1

Three key issues raccoon dog breeders must currently pay attention to
Entering mid-September, raccoon dogs enter the late fattening stage, a period of transition from the growth stage to the fur maturation stage. For breeders, this period until pelting (around November 20) is the most critical time in the breeding process; the quality of management directly affects the success and profitability of the operation, and breeders must not be careless. So how can one correctly grasp this critical period of about two months to maximize breeding profits? The years of experience of successful breeders tells us that one should start from the following three aspects

Three practical methods for storing wheat, simple and easy to carry out
Heat-sealed method: Choose a clear, hot day, and around 9 a.m. after the drying yard has been heated by the sun, first move out the tools and materials (cotton quilts, burlap pieces, etc. all work) to air and dry in the sun. The wheat must be turned frequently so that the wheat temperature rises to 48-52°C in the sun and the moisture drops below 12.5%. Around 3 p.m., pile it up, let it sweat hot for half an hour, and while still hot put it into the jar. Use materials that have been disinfected and dried in the sun to press down and cover it, then seal it with plastic film so that no air leaks, keeping the grain temperature above 40°C for 8-10 days to kill eggs, pupae, larvae and adults, achieving the effect of accumulating heat to kill insects.

How to Make Three-Delicacy Boneless Carp and Cooking Techniques
Main ingredient: 1 live carp (about 750 g). Secondary ingredients: 75 g pork shoulder, 25 g shelled shrimp, 30 g chicken gizzard, 25 g winter bamboo shoots, 15 g rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, 20 g Shaoxing wine, 2 g salt. Method: 1. Lay the carp flat on a cutting board and make a horizontal cut at the anal opening, cutting through the spine. Insert a long, thin pointed knife through the two cuts and gently separate the flesh from the backbone, then remove the backbone and innards through the gill opening, wash clean and drain. 2. Mince the pork and place it in a bowl, add Shaoxing

How do you make oleander form a "three-fork, nine-top" crown?
Oleander has whorled leaves in threes and is a typical three-fork brancher, meaning that after each pruning, 3 new shoots grow from the stem nodes. People can take advantage of this branching trait to prune and shape it so that it becomes a "three-fork, nine-top" plant. When the main trunk grows to a certain height, pinch off the top, and 3 main branches will grow from the main trunk. When the main branches grow to about 20 cm or more, keep 20 cm on each and pinch off the tops again to make them sprout new shoots. On each main branch, keep another 3 branches, keep 20 cm to 30 cm on each branch, and cut off all the upper branches.

How to carve and strip trunk bonsai? Three practical techniques
The trunks of trunk bonsai mostly use the image of being ancient, old, diseased, and disabled to show their "vigorous and sturdy character" that has endured the vicissitudes of time, while some bonsai trees show the characteristics of being young, tender, smooth, and sleek. The carving and stripping technique for trunk bonsai is precisely based on the conditions of the trunk itself, through artificial artistic reconstruction, to make the trunk image conform to the requirements of bonsai artistic modeling and achieve the purpose of enriching the varied texture layers of the trunk. Now let us introduce three techniques of the carving and stripping method. Spiral trunk stripping. Make partial diagonal rotational carving and stripping modeling on the main trunk from bottom to top

Detailed Explanation of Processing Methods and Techniques for Three Peach Products
Peach preserves. Select white peaches or yellow peaches with firm flesh as raw material. Place fresh peaches into iron frames, put them into a boiling 2%-4% caustic soda solution, and shake for 30-60 seconds. Remove and stir in clean water until the skin completely falls off, then split into two halves along the suture. Remove the pits, rinse in clean water, and after removing the peach pieces and draining the water. Soak in a 0.2%-0.5% sodium bisulfite solution for 2-4 hours to turn the peach flesh milky white. Take 15 kg of clean water, add 22 kg of white granulated sugar, 1 citric acid

Detailed Guide to Controlling the Three Major Diseases of Onions and Garlic
I. Purple blotch. It mainly affects chives, Welsh onions, garlic, onions, and Chinese chives, and is a major disease of Welsh onions and garlic, with leaves and flower stalks being the main affected parts. The lesions are initially water-soaked, grayish white, slightly sunken, and later expand into oval or spindle shapes, becoming purplish brown. When humidity is high, the diseased area produces black mold layers arranged in concentric rings. In severe cases, it causes leaves and stalks to die or break over. The disease occurs severely under warm, humid conditions or when there is a lack of fertilizer and drought. Fields with sandy soil, dry land, and severe thrips damage have severe disease incidence.

Three defenses to do well in winter fish farming management
In winter, the water temperature is low and there is little light, so there is less phytoplankton in the pond water of fish ponds and the oxygen-producing capacity is poor. Because fish feed and move less, their constitution is relatively weak, which has a great impact on safe overwintering and growth. To ensure the safety and growth of fish in winter, the water quality regulation and management of fish ponds in winter should focus on three defenses. Guard against shallow water. Some fish farmers believe that shallow pond water in winter is good for fish, but in fact this is a misunderstanding. In winter, when the pond water level is shallow, the water temperature changes quickly and the temperature difference is large, which will cause freeze damage to fish and is extremely unfavorable to their overwintering and growth. Winter fish ponds

Key Technical Points for Diversified Multi-Cropping Three-Dimensional Cultivation of Cotton in the Huaibei Region
Diversified multi-cropping three-dimensional cultivation is a high-yield, high-efficiency agricultural production form and supporting comprehensive technical system that conforms to biological population structure. Developing diversified multi-cropping three-dimensional cultivation can achieve good economic, social and ecological benefits. I. Mechanisms for developing diversified multi-cropping three-dimensional cultivation of cotton in the Huaibei Region. 1. Adapt to local conditions and emphasize efficiency. Three-dimensional cotton cultivation involves multiple crops, multiple factors and multiple disciplines, and is highly time-sensitive, regional, comprehensive and scientific. Therefore, appropriate timing and varieties should be selected for cultivation in combination with the land, climate and other conditions of the Huaibei Region.
