Is there a national subsidy for planting 500 mu of Sichuan pepper, and per-mu returns, high-yield planting costs and profits

Sichuan pepper is used as traditional Chinese medicine and has effects such as warming the middle and promoting qi flow, expelling cold, relieving pain, and killing parasites. It is distributed from southern Northeast China in the north, to the northern slopes of the Five Ridges in the south, and to the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the southeast. So is there a national subsidy for planting 500 mu of Sichuan pepper? How much can one mu earn? How can it be planted for high yield?

Cost and profit of planting Sichuan pepper

Planting cost: The cost of planting one mu of Sichuan pepper varies by variety and region. The cost of planting one mu of Sichuan pepper is between 600—1200 yuan, and the biggest difference in the middle is the labor cost of harvesting Sichuan pepper.

Planting profit: Based on planting about 70 plants per mu, fruit is set after two years, after three years each plant can yield more than 1 jin of dried Sichuan pepper, after five years each plant yields an average of 2 jin of dried Sichuan pepper, and after eight years each plant yields an average of about 4 jin of dried Sichuan pepper. According to this year's price, each jin of dried Sichuan pepper is 36 yuan. After three years, the income per mu is at least 2600 yuan, after five years the income per mu is 4000 yuan, and after eight years the income per mu is 5000---6000 yuan.

How to achieve high yield when planting Sichuan pepper

1. Reasonable irrigation and fertilization. Topdressing is the main means of resolving the contradiction between the large nutrient-demand period during the growth of Sichuan pepper and insufficient soil nutrient supply. Pre-flowering topdressing is mainly based on quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer, mainly to supplement the small amount of base fertilizer applied in autumn and the insufficient stored nutrients in the tree body. It has a significant effect on enlarging the fruit cluster, increasing the fruit-setting rate, and promoting the development of young fruit; post-flowering topdressing is mainly to ensure the needs of fruit growth and development. Less quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer can be applied, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should also be applied as topdressing; before flower bud differentiation, use Cfh No. 3 to promote flower bud differentiation, increase the flowering and fruit-setting rate, suppress excessive shoot growth, and thoroughly balance alternate bearing.

2. Techniques for strengthening flowers and fruit. During the flower bud stage, young fruit stage, and fruit expansion stage of Sichuan pepper, spray Sichuan pepper stem-strengthening agent once each time, which can expand the nutrient vessels, increase the fruit-setting rate, suppress alternate bearing, and produce thick pepper peel, strong pepper fruit, bright color, and a naturally rich fragrance. When entering the full fruit-bearing period, flower and fruit thinning should be done by removing entire clusters. The amount of flower and fruit thinning should be determined according to the length of new shoots on fruiting branches, so as to ensure the plant has sufficient nutrients.

3. Do a good job of pruning and heat preservation. Pay attention to keeping the new shoots of the scaffold branches and branch group axis extension branches vigorous and at reasonable extension directions and angles. When the new shoots reach about 50 cm in length, pinch them to promote branch differentiation, which is beneficial to accelerating canopy formation and the selection and retention of branch groups. Apply healing and preservative film to pruning cuts to prevent infection and invasion by pathogens and protect healthy wound healing. At the same time, pay attention to the overall freeze protection of the tree body, spray Hushu Jiangjun to protect the tree body, drive away overwintering viruses and insect pests, and urge the fruit tree to enter dormancy early.

4. Timely pest and disease control. Control should be carried out in a timely manner according to the occurrence patterns of pests. Kill overwintering adults, eggs, larvae, and pathogen spores. During the dormant period, combine corresponding cultivation techniques with chemical control to remove and kill pests and reduce sources of pests and diseases. At the same time, spray Xingao Zhimo to improve the utilization rate of effective ingredients in the pesticide and consolidate the control effect.

What is the profit per mu of planting Sichuan pepper

Sichuan pepper planting is not a variety with high per-mu returns, but generally speaking, the profit per mu of Sichuan pepper planting is four to five times the income from planting corn, and an income of about 5000 yuan per mu is no problem. For thornless Sichuan pepper planting, the profit per mu can increase substantially by about 1-1.5 times, meaning a per-mu return of 10,000 yuan is also possible.

Sichuan pepper trees in dry land live longer, while irrigated land is not as ideal as dry land. New Sichuan pepper trees bear fruit in three years. It is best to plant no more than 100 per mu, otherwise too many will lead to unsatisfactory fruiting and inconvenient picking. Trees after five years can harvest three to four hundred jin per mu without problem.

Plant about 70 plants per mu, fruit is set after two years, after three years each plant can yield more than 1 jin of dried Sichuan pepper, after five years each plant yields an average of 2 jin of dried Sichuan pepper, and after eight years each plant yields an average of about 4 jin of dried Sichuan pepper. According to this year's price, each jin of dried Sichuan pepper is 36 yuan. After three years, the income per mu is at least 2600 yuan, after five years the income per mu is 4000 yuan, and after eight years the income per mu is 5000---6000 yuan.

What subsidies are there for planting Sichuan pepper

Whether there are subsidies for planting Sichuan pepper: For pepper growers who contract land to plant Sichuan pepper, there is currently no subsidy, but after successful planting, first, they can apply for the Grain for Green project; second, by establishing a family farm or professional cooperative, they can apply for characteristic benefit agriculture projects; third, they can establish a micro enterprise to apply for subsidies. The premise is meeting the project establishment conditions of the relevant projects and only after approval can the project be established.

As the demand for Sichuan pepper is growing, because wild mountain pepper simply cannot meet people's needs, many people have begun to plant mountain pepper. The investment cost of planting mountain pepper is not high, the risk is relatively low, and it is a good planting project!
