Schisandra Planting Techniques and Profit Analysis

AbstractPlanting techniques: Choose moist sandy soil for burying the seeds, transplant seedlings in spring or autumn. Schisandra has a high water requirement; during growth, pay attention to watering, shading, weeding and loosening the soil, and strictly avoid exposure to scorching sun. In the later stage, thinner branches need to be pruned. Profit: The fruiting period of Schisandra can reach 6 years, the yield per mu can reach about 2000 jin, and the dried product can reach about 400 jin. The price of the dried product ranges from about 30-100 yuan per jin, and the profit per mu can reach about 12,000 yuan to 40,000 yuan.

I. Schisandra Planting Techniques

1. Site selection and propagation

There are particular requirements for the place where Schisandra seeds are buried; generally, moist sandy soil is chosen. First spread wheat straw over the seeds, then cover them well with sandy soil, check the seeds every week, and wait 2-3 months; the seeds will then sprout and break through the soil. At this point, the seedlings need careful tending, and only when Schisandra has grown to 110-160 cm can the seedlings be transplanted.

2. Seedling transplanting and planting

Choose spring or autumn, dig furrows about 15 cm deep, and transplant the seedlings. Remember to place fertilizer at the bottom of the pit, and use soil to separate the fertilizer from the root hairs, then lightly press and fill the soil.

3. Watering management

Because Schisandra has shallow roots, it has a high water requirement. When watering normally, make sure the dry soil does not exceed 5 cm. Seedlings need watering, and watering should also be remembered when transplanting. Generally, watering management involves checking once every 15 days, and remember to regularly remove weeds and loosen the soil.

4. Field management

Schisandra is not tolerant of high temperatures. In the early stage, remember to provide shade and strictly avoid exposure to scorching sun. After the early stage, the shade frame can be removed and a climbing trellis built. After building a sturdy trellis, simply tie the Schisandra to it. In the later stage, remember to prune the thinner branches to ensure the quality of the Schisandra fruit. As for fertilizer, the fertilizer requirement of Schisandra is similar to that of various fruit trees.

II. Profit from Schisandra

1. Schisandra not only sells well in the domestic market, but has also opened up overseas markets, and its market demand is enormous. Such popularity has caused the price of Schisandra to rise year after year. Moreover, the sharp decline in wild Schisandra means that future demand for cultivated Schisandra will expand further.

2. With such great demand, compared with other medicinal materials, the planting cost of Schisandra is actually very low. The current market price of Schisandra seedlings generally does not exceed 1 yuan. Because its need for intensive management is low, counting all kinds of planting costs, the input per mu can generally be controlled at about 3000 yuan.

3. However, the Schisandra tree produces an extremely high quantity of fruit, and because the tree is relatively short, picking is convenient. Schisandra will bear fruit in the second year after planting, and the fruiting period can reach 6 years. Generally, the yield per mu can reach 1800 jin; on high-quality land, the yield per mu can even reach 2600 jin, and the amount of dried fruit can reach 400-500 jin per mu.

4. The selling price varies greatly according to variety and quality. At present, the price of northern Schisandra is 60-80 yuan per jin, while the price of lower-quality products is about 30 yuan per jin, and the price of packaged Schisandra online is about 130-150 yuan. It does not need to be washed and can be eaten directly. The price of southern Schisandra is much lower, so everyone should pay attention to distinguishing the two kinds of Schisandra.

Schisandra is a tonic medicinal herb that can not only nourish the lungs, but also warm the kidneys. It is a traditional Chinese medicine in extremely high market demand. As its medicinal value is further discovered, Schisandra's influence continues to rise. Now that our country's economy is developing rapidly, everyone pursues the way of health preservation, so the planting prospects of this traditional Chinese medicine, Schisandra, are naturally self-evident.
