Cultivation Timing and Management Key Points for Licorice
I. Seed Germination Habits (I) Water Absorption and Germination of Licorice Seeds Licorice seeds have a low emergence rate, generally around 10%, so they must be treated before sowing. Untreated seeds absorb water very slowly, and most seeds do not imbibe; seeds treated with concentrated sulfuric acid absorb water very rapidly, reaching over 100% within 4 hours. Generally, once water absorption exceeds 100%, the seeds have a very uniform germination capacity. If water absorption differs, the germination rate differs accordingly. At 20°C, after absorbing water for more than 1.5 hours, the germination rate reaches over 80%, at which point the moisture content is about 95

Autumn Fattening of Geese Is in Season, Goose Farmers Should Not Miss the Good Timing
Autumn weather is cool, green grass is abundant, and there is plenty of by-product after the autumn harvest, making it the best season for fattening meat geese. During this period, after 20 to 25 days of fattening, geese can generally gain 1.5 kg to 2.2 kg. For breed selection, choose meat-type hybrid breeds such as Lion Head geese and Xupu geese that are over 70 days old, lively, with glossy feathers, good at foraging, healthy and disease-free. Fattening methods: 1) Grazing fattening. During the day, drive the flock of geese to harvested fields to let them eat leftover grain heads, grass seeds, etc., and after returning to the shed at night, feed them 1 to 2 more times with concentrated feed and provide clean drinking water. 2) Shed fattening. Build a rack with bamboo or wooden sticks, with the rack 0.6 m to 0.7 m above the ground to make manure cleaning easier. Put 5 geese per square meter, make a small pen around them, place the feed trough and water trough outside the pen, and let the geese stretch their heads through the gaps to eat and drink. 3) Pen fattening. Use bamboo or reed stalks to enclose small pens, with 3 to 5 geese per pen. The height of the enclosure should be such that the geese can stand but not raise their heads. Place the feed trough outside the pen and let the geese eat and drink through the gaps. During pen raising, the shed should be quiet, grazing should not be done, activity should be restricted, and energy consumption should be reduced. For shed fattening and pen fattening, the feed should be diversified and combine concentrated and green feed. It can mainly consist of rice bran, broken rice, corn, blighted grain, vegetable leaves, etc., plus about 6% cake-type feed, 0.3% table salt, and concentrated feed ground fine, mixed into a wet feed for feeding, 5 to 7 times a day, with 1 to 2 additional feedings at night. In addition, adding 19 g manganese sulfate, 17 g zinc sulfate, 12 g ferrous sulfate, 2 g copper sulfate, 0.7 g potassium iodide, and 0.1 g cobalt chloride to every 100 kg of concentrated feed can increase weight gain by about 20%. However, when mixing the feed, it must be mixed evenly to prevent individual geese from being poisoned by eating too much. 4) Forced fattening. Mix powdered feeds such as corn, sweet potato, rice bran, and soybean cake with an appropriate amount of table salt and trace elements, add water and mix well, make strips 1 cm to 1.5 cm thick and 6 cm long, and after drying in the shade, manually stuff them into the goose's esophagus. When force-feeding, clamp the goose's body between your knees, grasp the goose's head with your left hand, open the goose's beak, dip a feed strip in water with your right hand, and use your index finger to stuff the feed into the esophagus. After each strip is inserted, gently push along the goose's neck with your hand to help it swallow. Feed 4 to 6 times a day, with 1 feeding at night. The amount of forced feeding depends on the goose's weight and digestive capacity. One hour before feeding, if a groove appears at the swollen part of the esophagus, digestion is normal; if it appears earlier than 1 hour before feeding, more feed is needed; if it appears later than 1 hour before feeding, reduce the feed or delay the feeding time. When force-feeding, also be careful to prevent the feed strip from being inserted into the trachea. In addition, attention should be paid to supplying sufficient clean drinking water.

How should the timing and method of cotton chemical growth control be handled?
Although cotton was sown late, the cotton seedlings also developed late. By early June, well-growing cotton fields in the north had already produced 7-8 true leaves, and some had already produced squares. Around June 10, most cotton fields will successively enter the squaring stage. In previous years on June 10, most cotton fields had already produced 3 fruiting branches; this year there will be two fewer fruiting branches, with no pre-dog-days bolls or few pre-dog-days bolls. This is not necessarily a bad thing: it can save the operations of removing early squares and removing the lower 1-2 fruiting branches, and it helps reduce rotten bolls and hard-walled bolls. According to the fixed-plant survey results of Guoxin Cotton Institute: June 10 to July 10 is the main

Stocking fish fingerlings in cages in autumn has many benefits, and the timing of release matters
After autumn fertilization in the pond, fish fingerlings are generally in robust health and adapt easily to the cage environment. At the same time, overwintering in sunken cages in large water bodies not only consumes less body weight in the fingerlings than overwintering in ponds, but also, after overwintering ends and the cages are raised in spring, the fish begin feeding earlier, and their growth period is extended by about 1 month compared with fish stocked in spring, so the fish grow quickly and production increases noticeably. Compared with fingerlings stocked in spring, fingerlings overwintered in sunken cages grow about 30% faster and are about 35% larger in size when removed from the cages. Therefore, stocking fingerlings in cages in autumn for overwintering is a relatively scientific
