Detailed Explanation of the Planting Methods and Techniques for Glossy Privet Fruit
Glossy privet fruit is the name of a medicinal herb, also known as wintergreen fruit or wax tree. It has relatively high medicinal value and excellent tonic effects, and also has the effect of nourishing the liver and improving eyesight. Most glossy privet is now planted in parks, because its tree shape is also very lovely and its ornamental value is quite good. So how do you plant the glossy privet tree? Follow along with the editor below to find out.
1. Soil and Fertilizer Improvement
Glossy privet likes sunlight and warmth, and has a certain cold tolerance. Based on these growth habits of glossy privet, the planting site is generally chosen as a sunny, well-drained and well-irrigated sandy loam with sufficient soil fertility, rich organic matter, deep soil layers, and good soil structure. Land preparation is best done by tilling in autumn, plowing at least about 30 cm deep, then spreading sufficient fertilizer, tilling again, and breaking the soil clods into fine, level soil, then making beds about 1 m wide and 10 cm high.
2. Breeding and Transplanting
The glossy privet seeds bought from outside are basically already treated, so they can be sown directly. But many seeds are also kept by oneself, so before sowing they need to be soaked in warm water, then placed at a suitable temperature for germination. Once most of the sprouting points have emerged, they can be sown. Sowing generally uses direct seeding or drilling, with a spacing of about 10 cm per plant. When the seedlings grow to about 30 cm, they can be transplanted. First dig holes in the field spaced about 3.5 to 4 m apart, then spread base fertilizer into the holes, and finally cover with soil for planting.
3. Cultivation Management
After planting, we need to water reasonably. Generally, about one week after planting, if there is no rainfall, watering is needed. Never water before rain, as this will reduce the survival rate of glossy privet. When the seedlings after planting reach a height of about 15 cm above the ground, the first intertillage and weeding is needed, and it should be done together with fertilization. In the subsequent growth process, intertillage and weeding are needed at least two to three times each year, and fertilization is needed at least twice each year. Fertilization is mainly based on organic fertilizer, reducing the use of chemical fertilizer as much as possible. Finally, after the young trees have grown for two years, scientific pruning of branches and leaves is needed to maintain the tree shape and regulate the field's ventilation and light penetration.
4. Pest and Disease Control
Glossy privet actually has relatively strong resistance, but it can still be damaged by some pests and diseases. For example, rust disease, glossy privet looper, wax scale insect, and cloud-patterned longhorn beetle. We can use carboxin emulsifiable concentrate, trichlorfon, phosmet emulsifiable concentrate, and fenitrothion emulsifiable concentrate respectively for control and spraying.
The above is a brief introduction to the planting methods for glossy privet fruit. I believe everyone now has a general understanding of how to plant it. Alright, that's all for today's sharing from the editor. If you want to learn more exciting content, remember to follow us.
