What is the yield per mu for growing hispid fig (Wuzhimaotao)?
AbstractThe yield per mu of hispid fig (Wuzhimaotao) is about 5000 jin. Its rhizome has high medicinal value; used as medicine, it helps strengthen the spleen and tonify the lungs, promote the movement of qi and drain dampness, among other effects. Its economic value is relatively high, and it is grown in many places in China.
1. The economic value of hispid fig (Wuzhimaotao)
1. Hispid fig (Wuzhimaotao) is actually not a peach; its rhizome has high medicinal value and can be used as medicine, with effects such as strengthening the spleen and tonifying the lungs, promoting the movement of qi and draining dampness. It can also be used as a cooking ingredient; stewing it in soup has certain nourishing effects.
2. Because its economic value is relatively high, it is grown in many places in China. Under normal conditions, it generally yields about 5000 jin per mu.
2. Planting techniques
1. Site selection for planting
(1) Before planting, the planting site must be well chosen. It should be planted in fields with deep, loose soil and good drainage and irrigation conditions. If a slope is chosen, the slope should not be greater than 30°.
(2) After choosing the planting site, plow the soil deeply, which helps the soil break down. The deep plowing depth should be more than 25cm. Level and harrow the soil, apply farmyard manure, mix it evenly with the soil, and spread it in the field before planting. About 1000 can be planted per mu.
2. Transplanting
(1) Hispid fig (Wuzhimaotao) is suitable for transplanting in February to March, and can also be transplanted in autumn.
(2) It is best to plant on rainy days or after the soil is thoroughly wet. Put one seedling in each planting hole, hold the seedling upright, fill in soil and press it firm, then water thoroughly. Later, water appropriately according to weather changes, about once every 7 days or so.
3. Timely weed control
(1) Weeds tend to grow in the early stage of plant growth, which can easily cause nutrient loss and affect the soil temperature, thereby affecting the normal growth of the fruit seedlings.
(2) Generally, when weeds grow to 3-4 leaves, herbicides can be used for weed control. When using them, be sure to pay attention to the concentration of the herbicide.
4. Later management
(1) Watering: After the seedlings are transplanted, be sure to prevent drought and water them in time. To reduce water loss, a layer of weeds or rice straw can be covered on top, which also helps reduce weeds.
(2) Replanting: If there are missing plants in the field, be sure to replant them in time.
(3) Topping: Top the plants at the appropriate time according to their specific growth conditions, which helps promote branching and accelerate growth.
(4) Pruning: Pruning is generally carried out at the end of May or the end of July, cutting off branches on the main branches and promptly removing overly weak flowers and fruits to avoid nutrient loss.
(5) Fertilizing: Carry out foliar fertilization every year in April, early July, and October. Dig fertilization pits outside the tree canopy, with a length of about 20-30cm and a depth of about 10cm, and apply a small amount of green fertilizer.
