Detailed Explanation of Licorice Cultivation Methods and Growth Habits
Licorice Cultivation Methods and Habits
1. Licorice prefers a dry climate with abundant sunshine, long daylight hours and low temperatures. It is best cultivated in deep, well-drained sandy loam soil. 2. Propagation is carried out in conjunction with harvesting in spring and autumn. Thick roots are used for medicinal purposes, while thin rhizomes are cut into small sections of 4-5 cm, each with 2——3 buds. Select disease-free, superior rhizomes, and before planting, spray the stem pieces with New High-Fat Film (can be mixed with seed coating agents to repel underground pests and diseases, isolate viral infection, without affecting germination and imbibition functions, strengthen respiration intensity, and improve seed germination rate). 3. Before and after seedling emergence, keep the soil moist, weed promptly, loosen the soil, and ensure adequate water and fertilizer. When the leaves begin to expand, spray the leaf surface with Medicinal Root Growth Spirit. This enables the products of leaf photosynthesis (nutrients) to be transported to the root system, improving the nutrient conversion rate and soil-loosening capacity, causing the rhizomes to rapidly expand and greatly increasing the medicinal content. At the same time, strengthen comprehensive pest and disease control, following the principle of treating diseases when present, killing insects when present, and preventing when absent, combined with spraying New High-Fat Film to enhance control effectiveness. In late autumn, carry out winter protection and insulation work to ensure safe overwintering.
