A Detailed Guide to Dictamnus dasycarpus Planting Techniques and Field Management Methods

The transplanting site for Dictamnus dasycarpus should be a gentle slope with deep soil and good drainage; after deep plowing, apply 1500-2000 kg of decomposed farmyard manure per mu; in the first two years, remove weeds as soon as they appear, weeding 3-4 times per year; after 3 years, reduce the number of weedings; apply topdressing twice in late May and early June, applying 800-1000 kg of farmyard manure per mu or 8-10 kg of urea, and after the Beginning of Autumn, spray 0.3%-0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer once.

 

Planting methods for Dictamnus dasycarpus

 

1. Site selection: The transplanting site for Dictamnus dasycarpus should be a gentle slope with deep soil and good drainage. In mountainous areas, sunny hillside wasteland, orchards, and the inter-row spaces of young plantations can be used for cultivation, and the low shrub spaces of tussah silkworm farms and hazelnut orchards can also be used for cultivation.

 

2. Land preparation: For the Dictamnus dasycarpus planting site, in combination with deep plowing, apply 1500-2000 kg of decomposed farmyard manure per mu; after raking fine, make beds 100-1200 cm wide, with the length determined by the terrain, generally 20-30 m is suitable, and the working path between beds 40 cm wide.

 

3. Transplanting: The planting depth for Dictamnus dasycarpus is determined by the size of the root system of the transplanting seedlings. Place the seedlings with the terminal buds facing upward in the transplanting trench, with the terminal buds 1-2 cm below the bed surface, and the roots spread out at a plant spacing of 35-40 cm. After placing them, cover with soil, level the bed surface after covering, and press lightly.

 

4. Weeding: In the first two years after transplanting Dictamnus dasycarpus, the seedlings are small, so on the principle of removing weeds as soon as they appear, weed 3-4 times per year. After 3 years, the plants have already grown tall, and weed damage has less effect on them, so the number of weedings is relatively reduced.

 

5. Fertilization: For Dictamnus dasycarpus, apply topdressing twice in late May and early June, applying 800-1000 kg of farmyard manure per mu or 8-10 kg of urea, and after the Beginning of Autumn, spray 0.3%-0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer once.
