How much is one jin of mock strawberry now? Detailed explanation of cultivation techniques
Mock strawberry, also known as Diyangmei, snake fruit and snake bubble grass, is a wild fruit commonly seen on hillsides, grasslands and in fields. Because the whole plant can be used medicinally and has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying and treating snake bites, it is widely cultivated. So how much does one jin of mock strawberry cost now? What are the cultivation techniques?
I. Introduction to mock strawberry:
1. Is mock strawberry poisonous?
Mock strawberry contains a trace amount of toxin, but it has little effect on the human body, and very few people eat it, so most of it is collected for use as medicinal material. Of course, it can also be eaten, but do not eat too much, to avoid poisoning.
2. Can mock strawberry be eaten?
Mock strawberry can be eaten, but very few people will eat it, because it is slightly toxic itself and tastes very bland, with little flavor. But if you are curious, eating a little is also fine, but not too much, to avoid poisoning.
II. How much does one jin of mock strawberry cost now?
The market price of mock strawberry is not expensive, roughly around 3-5 yuan per jin, but due to differences in market, place of origin and packaging method, there will be some variation in price. For example, at the Hehuachi market, sliced pieces sell for around 5 yuan per jin, and whole herb sells for around 4 yuan per jin; at the Bozhou market, sliced pieces sell for around 3.5 yuan per jin; at the Anguo market, sliced pieces sell for around 4.2 yuan per jin, and whole herb sells for around 3.3 yuan per jin. So the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market.
III. What are the cultivation techniques for mock strawberry?
1. Land selection and soil preparation: what kind of land is suitable for planting?
Mock strawberry has strong survival ability and is suitable for growing in an environment with deep, loose soil, average fertility and good drainage. Therefore, when selecting land, try to choose loam or sandy loam with good drainage for planting, such as sandy soil, yellow mud soil and humus soil, all of which can be used for planting. After selecting the land, plow the soil deeply and level it for later use.
2. Propagation and seedling raising: how to raise seedlings?
Mock strawberry has two methods: seed sowing and division propagation. Among them, sowing propagation is slow, while division propagation has strong capacity, so division propagation is usually adopted.
(1) Sowing propagation method: in autumn, scatter the seeds on the soil, then cover with soil and water a small amount, and they can be transplanted in the following spring.
(2) Division propagation method: when the temperature in spring and summer is 15-25 degrees, cut the stems of mock strawberry into small sections 25cm long, then transplant them into soil 3.5 cm thick, finally cover with soil, tread firmly, and water a small amount.
3. Field management techniques: how to manage?
(1) Water requirements: after mock strawberry is transplanted, water two or three times within one week, always keeping the soil moist. In the later period, each year only needs watering once in early spring, once or twice in the dry season, and once before winter. If plum rain weather occurs, drainage measures should be taken well to avoid root rot.
(2) Fertilizer requirements: mock strawberry does not have high fertilizer requirements. Generally, applying some nitrogen fertilizer in spring is enough, and almost no fertilization is needed at other times.
(3) Frequent weeding: one week after mock strawberry is transplanted, promptly remove weeds in the field to ensure sufficient nutrients. In the later period, some shepherd's purse, bittercress or some Asteraceae weeds will grow, so they also need to be removed manually.
(4) Timely pruning: after mock strawberry grows for a period of time, many vigorous branches will grow, so these vigorous branches should be cut off according to the actual situation, to improve ventilation in the field and promote plant growth.
(5) Disease control: during the growth period of mock strawberry, rust disease will appear, so preventive measures should be taken in advance. For those already affected by the disease, triadimefon wettable powder can be used for spraying control.
The above is a detailed introduction to the market price and cultivation techniques of mock strawberry. I hope it is helpful to everyone.
