Latest High-Yield Cultivation Techniques and Methods Tutorial for Schisandra chinensis
Schisandra chinensis is a plant in the Magnoliaceae family and also a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with very high medicinal efficacy. The main medicinal part is the dried fruit, which has various effects such as astringing the lungs and nourishing the kidneys, stopping sweating and securing essence. At present, the planting area of Schisandra chinensis is relatively large, and when medicinal growers plant Schisandra chinensis, they all think about how to increase the yield. So today, the editor brings you the high-yield cultivation techniques for Schisandra chinensis. Let's take a look together below!
1. Site selection and land preparation
To increase the yield of Schisandra chinensis, first of all we need to do a good job in soil selection. The soil must ensure normal drainage and irrigation, sufficient sunlight, loose soil and sufficient fertility. Then do a good job in land preparation, plow it about 22 cm, break it up finely and level it, and apply sufficient agricultural machinery fertilizer as base fertilizer. Then prepare the seedbed, rake the surface flat and begin sowing. We should reasonably select the soil according to the planting method to ensure that the soil environment is suitable for the growth of Schisandra chinensis, so as to effectively increase the yield of Schisandra chinensis and achieve the goal of high yield.
2. Water and fertilizer management
After the Schisandra chinensis plants survive, we should do a good job in watering, watering at least about 3 times a year. In spring, before the Schisandra chinensis plants differentiate flower buds and before flowering, carry out the first watering, then water a second time during the grain-filling stage, and finally water enough winter water before overwintering. Every year in spring and autumn, do a good job in topdressing. The topdressing method is mainly ring trench application, applying about 8 kg of farmyard manure per plant. After fertilizing, cover again. It should be noted that when digging the trench, be careful not to damage the roots. Then appropriately spray foliar fertilizer during the flowering and fruiting stage, which can significantly increase the fruit-setting rate. During the expansion stage, increasing the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can also effectively promote fruit expansion and enhance quality.
3. Reasonable pruning
Pruning is also very important for the growth of Schisandra chinensis. Generally, except that pruning should not be done in winter, appropriate pruning should be done in the other three seasons. When pruning in spring, do it when the branches sprout, keep about 3 basal branches, cut off excess branches, and cut off short fruit branches. When pruning in summer, the pruning targets should be mainly summer shoots, such as basal branches, overlapping branches, etc. When pruning in autumn, promptly cut off diseased and pest-damaged branches, overly long and overly dense branches and various other undesirable branches, improve permeability, and promote the flowering and fruiting of Schisandra chinensis.
4. Pest and disease control
Pests and diseases are the key reasons affecting the yield of Schisandra chinensis, so when planting we must do a good job in pest and disease control. Strengthen management, regularly check the growth of Schisandra chinensis, and regularly carry out comprehensive and thorough disinfection work in the garden. Ensure that Schisandra chinensis has a good growing environment, eliminate pathogens in the garden, reduce the pathogen base, and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases from the root. When disease occurrence is found, be sure to promptly check out exactly what pests or diseases they are, and then make the corresponding treatment.
The above is a brief introduction to the high-yield cultivation techniques for Schisandra chinensis. If you want high yield when planting Schisandra chinensis, then you must strengthen management. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
