Areca catechu is a tropical rain forest crop, and its soil requirements are not strict. Generally, it can be planted in mountainous areas, marginal areas and low wetlands below 300 meters above sea level in Hainan Province. Mountain preparation should be cut and weeded before the rainy season. In mountainous areas with a slope greater than 15, a mountain-winding line with an inward inclination of about 15 should be dug along the contour line. The flat land should be cleared and weeded, and shelter forest land should be reserved, so as to create environmental conditions suitable for the growth of betel nut as much as possible. Prepare the low wetland, raise the boundary first, and then dig ditches for drainage.

Areca catechu is prone to leaf spot, leaf blight, anthracnose, epidemic disease, ear blight, bacterial leaf streak, bud rot, yellowing and so on. Pests mainly include red spike borer, leafhopper, aphid, whitefly, scale insect, red spider, brontispa longissima and so on. The prevention and control of betel nut diseases and insect pests should be based on comprehensive control, that is, treating pests and diseases at the same time and clearing the garden in time, so as to achieve good control effect.

The economic value of betel nut is very high, and about 1500-2000 plants can be planted per hectare. The yield of betel nut varieties in China is high, and the yield per plant can reach about 30kg, which has high economic value. People in Hainan, Taiwan Province, Hunan and other places in China have had the habit of eating betel nut since ancient times, and betel nut is the main chewing food. At present, the processing output value alone reaches 3.5 billion yuan, providing 200,000 jobs. The market potential is great. With the injection of science and technology, the types of deep-processed products are rich, the consumer market is gradually expanding, and the market prospect is good.

There are also dimers, trimers and tetramers of tannin, fat, mannitol, galactose, sucrose, catechin, epicatechin, colorless anthocyanin, areca catechu red pigment, saponin and proanthocyanidins. Fatty acids are lauric acid 19.5%, myristic acid 46.2%, palmitic acid 12.7%, stearic acid 1.6%, oleic acid 6.2%, linoleic acid 5.4%, lauric acid 0.3%, tetradecenoic acid 7.2%, and amino acids.
