How much does a Schisandra chinensis sapling cost per plant? Detailed explanation of high-yield cultivation methods
Schisandra chinensis, also known as Xuanji, Huiji, Wumeizi, mountain pepper, Zhuangwei, Wuwei, and Diaoliu, is a well-known traditional Chinese medicinal herb. Because it has functions such as enhancing physical strength and protecting the heart, it is widely cultivated. So how much does a Schisandra chinensis sapling cost per plant? How should it be planted to achieve high yield?
Schisandra chinensis sapling price:
The market price of Schisandra chinensis saplings ranges from 1 to 6 yuan per plant. Because the price of nursery stock is often affected by the age of the sapling as well as the place of origin, quality, and so on, there will be a certain degree of variation.
Schisandra chinensis price:
The price of Schisandra chinensis is about 60 to 70 yuan per jin, but prices vary greatly depending on the place of origin, quality, and so on. Schisandra chinensis is a famous traditional Chinese medicine and is divided into northern Schisandra chinensis and southern Schisandra chinensis. The quality of northern Schisandra chinensis is better than that of southern Schisandra chinensis. Its fruit contains schisandrin, vitamin C, resin, tannins, and a small amount of sugars. It has effects such as astringing the lungs and stopping cough, nourishing and astringing essence, and stopping diarrhea and sweating. It is mainly produced in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Shandong, and other places.
Cultivation techniques:
1. Field planting. There are two methods for field planting Schisandra chinensis: one is to use natural supports. That is, use trees as supports. Tree species selected as natural supports should preferably have smaller leaves and not overly vigorous growth; the second is to use artificial supports. For artificial supports, Schisandra chinensis seedlings can be planted at a specification of 1 m between large rows, 60 cm between small rows, and 50 cm between plants, with rows oriented north-south to facilitate ventilation and light transmission.
2. Comprehensive field management. Schisandra chinensis seedlings grow slowly. Attention should be paid to weeding, loosening the soil, and appropriate watering. After the second year, the supports can allow branches to climb, and attention should be paid to maintaining ventilation and light transmission to promote growth. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer at the time of field planting, topdressing must be carried out every spring. For topdressing, 1500 to 2500 kg of barnyard manure or compost and 15 to 20 kg of superphosphate can be applied per mu. To regulate plant nutrition and reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption, pruning is also needed. The method is as follows: each year after the plants enter dormancy in winter and before sprouting in spring is the pruning season. In addition to retaining 3 to 4 thick branches per plant for cultivation, all the rest are cut off. Short branches as well as overly dense medium fruit branches and long fruit branches are cut off to increase ventilation and light transmission capacity and increase fruit yield.
3. Pest and disease control. Leaf blight and leaf-roller pests are common pests and diseases of Schisandra chinensis. Leaf blight begins from the leaf tips and leaf margins and gradually develops to the entire leaf surface, causing the leaves to wither, yellow, and fall off. In severe cases, the fruit clusters fall off, and there may even be no harvest at all. Before onset or in the early stage of onset, a 1:1:100 Bordeaux mixture can be sprayed once every 7 to 10 days for several consecutive sprays; leaf rollers damage with their larvae, causing curled leaves. For control, 50% phoxim emulsifiable concentrate at 1500 times dilution or 50% phosphamidon emulsifiable concentrate at 1500 times dilution can be sprayed. This can achieve good control results.
