First, what are the precautions for the planting of thorn buds?
1, water management
Water management is a very important step in the growth process of Aralia elata. Water management is mainly to prevent spring drought. The demand for water in the growth process of Aralia elata is relatively large, especially in the seedling stage. In order to ensure that the seedlings are neat and strong, we choose the plot for breeding stems to be as close as possible to the water source, so that in case of drought, we can water it in time. In addition, we should pay more attention to observing the weather changes and do a good job of drainage in rainy days.
2, weed control
The tender thorn buds are threatened by weeds in the first year of planting, and they are easily invaded by weeds, so we must do a good job of weeding. Herbicide used in leguminous crops can generally be used to control these weeds, but which pesticide is the most effective in weeding thorn buds needs further testing. When using herbicide, attention should be paid to the dosage and spraying position to avoid excessive concentration to inhibit the growth of thorn buds. If manual weeding is adopted, care must be taken not to hurt the roots of thorn buds, otherwise the yield and quality will be reduced. After the summer, the thorn buds have grown to a certain height, and the branches and leaves are flourishing, so the threat of weeds to the thorn buds will be less, and then management can be left unchecked.
3. Prune the whole branch
When planting thorn buds, it is also necessary to prune the taller thorn buds in order to promote the development of branches and roots and improve the yield of thorn buds. The principle of pruning with tender buds makes the plant height suitable for harvesting, promotes the development of multiple branches and roots, and increases the yield. When pruning, leave 4 ~ 6 lateral buds near the base of branches, and then cut off the upper part of the plant to prevent the plant from growing in vain.
4. Rational topdressing
After selecting the land and preparing the soil, the thorn buds should be fertilized, and a proper amount of decomposed farmyard manure is generally applied according to the planting area. In addition, according to the soil fertility and growth potential, appropriate topdressing can be carried out, and both farm manure and chemical fertilizer can be used. Farm manure can be directly spread on the border, on the ridge or on the hole, and chemical fertilizer can be dug into the pit to cover the soil.
5, timely harvesting
When the terminal bud is broken off, 1-5 lateral buds or secondary buds at the lower part of the terminal bud germinate, so it can be picked many times, generally 2-3 times is the most suitable, so be careful not to pick it many times to avoid tiring the tree.
Second, the planting prospect of Aralia elata
1, the tender buds of Aralia elata are edible parts, and there are various ways to eat them. Can be eaten raw, fried, sauced, made into soup, stuffed, or processed into small pickles with different flavors. It is delicious and sweet, tender and mellow, with rich game. It is a famous first-class wild vegetable, and even known as the king of wild vegetables.
2. The nutritional value of Aralia elata is very high. However, due to years of collection, the plants are dead, the wild resources are destroyed year by year, and the output is declining year by year. The output can no longer meet the market demand. Therefore, it is imperative to develop artificial production of Aralia elata, so artificial cultivation of Aralia elata has a very broad development prospect.
3. Aralia elata has always been one of the main wild vegetable varieties exported, and the supply is in short supply, which is praised by consumers at home and abroad. At present, artificial cultivation is still in its infancy, resources are decreasing, social demand is increasing, and it has a huge domestic and international market. A plate of tender buds in high-end hotels is worth hundreds of yuan.
4. The artificial planting scale of Aralia elata is not large now, and the planting prospect is considerable. Moreover, the tender thorn buds grow freely in the natural environment, and the requirements for environmental conditions are not high. The seed utilization rate is high, the growth is fast, the cost is low, there is no risk, and the operation process is easy to master.
The above is the introduction of Aralia elata seedlings. In recent years, Aralia elata has been favored by many friends in the market, which is rich in nutritional value and has the function of dietotherapy and health care. At present, the planting prospect is considerable.
