Detailed Explanation of Planting Techniques and Management Key Points for Humifuse Euphorbia
Humifuse Euphorbia, also known as Jianchou, Hongsicao, and Naijiangcao, is a plant of the Euphorbiaceae family. The whole plant can be used as medicine, and it has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and draining dampness to relieve jaundice. It is widely used and is planted in most provinces of our country. So below, the editor will explain its planting methods to everyone.
1. Growth Habits
Humifuse Euphorbia likes a warm and humid climate, is slightly tolerant of shaded environments, and has strong moisture tolerance. When planting, sandy loam or loam with loose soil, good fertility and water retention, and good drainage should be selected, and it can also be intercropped with corn. If planting on wasteland, it should be deeply plowed multiple times so that the soil is fully weathered, and then base fertilizer should be applied according to the soil's fertility status. The base fertilizer should mainly be organic fertilizer, spread evenly on the soil, mixed evenly with plowing, and then beds or ridges should be made and waited for sowing.
2. Sowing
In autumn, from September to October, is the fruit maturity period of Humifuse Euphorbia. At this time, the seed fruits are collected, dried in the sun, and the seeds are taken out and stored for later use. In the following spring, from March to April, prepare to sow. When sowing, in order to reduce the probability of pests and diseases, the seeds are disinfected and sterilized. When sowing, mix them evenly with plant ash and then drill sow. Open furrows on the bed surface at a row spacing of 15 cm, evenly scatter the seeds into the furrows, cover with soil, and gently press with hands.
3. Field Management
After the seedlings emerge, weeds should be pulled out in time to prevent weeds from affecting the growth of the seedlings. When the seedlings grow to a certain height, thinning should be carried out in time, removing some weak and diseased seedlings and keeping strong seedlings. Fertilizer can be applied once each time weeding is done. The root system of the seedlings is not yet mature, so topdressing at the seedling stage should mainly be human and livestock manure water to promote seedling growth. If intercropped with corn, field management should be strengthened after the corn harvest to promote its peak growth period and increase yield.
4. Pests and Diseases
The main disease of Humifuse Euphorbia is sooty mold. Field management should be strengthened, appropriate close planting should be carried out, diseased branches and dense branches should be pruned in time to increase air permeability among plants. In summer when temperatures are high and rain is frequent, field humidity should be reduced and drainage should be carried out in time. When the disease occurs, pesticides can be sprayed for control. Pests include piercing-sucking pests such as aphids, stink bugs, and psyllids, which can be controlled by spraying imidacloprid, trichlorfon, and dimethoate.
