When should Evodia rutaecarpa seedlings be planted

Spring sowing is around Qingming, but the yield is low and the quality is poor, so it is generally not adopted. Autumn sowing cannot be too early or too late; the earliest cannot be earlier than Chushu; otherwise, because it grows rapidly in that year's winter, most plants will bolt and flower in the second year, and their roots cannot be used medicinally. But the latest cannot be later than Qiufen; because after Qiufen the rainfall gradually decreases and the temperature turns lower, Evodia rutaecarpa seedlings sown then will not germinate for a long time, affecting growth and yield. Therefore, sowing should be done in early August to early September.

Evodia rutaecarpa planting techniques

1. Evodia rutaecarpa is suitable for direct sowing, not for raising seedlings and transplanting. Transplanted plants have forked roots and poor root growth, affecting yield and quality. Use hole sowing and drill sowing. Before sowing, water the bed thoroughly; after the water has seeped down, begin sowing.

2. In order to use the land economically, intercropping can also be carried out in Evodia rutaecarpa fields. In principle, short small crops are better. After sowing Evodia rutaecarpa, plant vegetables between its rows, such as lettuce, spinach, garlic sprouts, etc. The intercrops must be harvested before Lichun to benefit the growth of Evodia rutaecarpa, with spinach and garlic sprouts being the most common.

3. In places with sufficient rain, watering may not be needed, but in arid and semi-arid areas, before sowing it is necessary to water deeply, plow the land, and preserve soil moisture. After sowing, if there is drought or long-term drought, it must be watered. If the soil moisture is poor, it must be watered; about 4 waterings are enough for germination, and afterward keep the soil moist regularly to benefit seedling growth.

Analysis of Evodia rutaecarpa planting benefits

1. Analysis of Evodia rutaecarpa planting benefits. Evodia rutaecarpa is a bulk commonly used medicinal material. Its fruit is used as medicine and has effects such as warming the middle and dispelling cold, relieving depression and stopping pain, and directing qi downward and stopping vomiting. Planting Evodia rutaecarpa has no strict requirements for soil. Low mountain land, hilly land, sunny slopes, and the areas in front of and behind houses and at the edges of fields can all be cultivated and grown.

2. Slightly acidic to neutral loam with deep soil layers, fertility, and good drainage is suitable. Under normal circumstances, 110 Evodia rutaecarpa plants are planted per mu, and in the full production period the yield per mu is basically 100 kg of dried product. Calculated at a price of 30 yuan per kg, the benefit per mu is 3,000 yuan. After deducting costs such as pesticides, fertilizers, and manual harvesting, the net profit per mu is more than 3,000 yuan.

3. Because Evodia rutaecarpa has a planting cycle as long as four to five years before it reaches full fruiting, its economic benefit is not as good as economic crops such as navel oranges and mandarin oranges. Many growers cut down the trees and switch to planting other economic crops. Although in recent years the local government has encouraged planting, the old production areas have shrunk in planting area due to reasons such as pest and disease damage and cutting. The benefits of planting Evodia rutaecarpa are still quite good, and its medicinal value is also very high.

After reading this, the editor thinks Evodia rutaecarpa is still quite easy to grow, easier to care for than those flowers and grasses at home. And if you plant a little at home in summer, you do not need to worry about annoying mosquito bites. What do you think? I hope today's article can bring you a little help.
