Botanical Cultivation

Biological Characteristics

Strong adaptability to the climate, can be cultivated in the deeper soil layer can be cultivated, to wet, deep, fertile, well-drained sandy loam is preferred. But calcareous and mildly saline land can also grow normally.

Cultivation techniques

Propagation by seed or division.

Seed propagation: in early March with 80 ℃ water soaked seeds 5-6h, fish out and mixed into twice the wet sand, mixing evenly spread indoors, stacked thickness of 20-25cm, the top of the wet sand to cover tightly, in order to avoid the seeds exposed, can be covered with a layer of plastic film, heat preservation and humidity. Every 3-5d turn over 1 time, to late March to early April seeds have 25% -30% cracked, can be sown. Large field ridges, according to 50-65cm row spacing as a ridge. When sown on the ridge open shallow groove strip sowing, each 1hm2 need to use 150-250kg of seed. 2-3cm of mulch after sowing, compacted to preserve moisture.

Split-plant reproduction: from the foot of the old tree digging sub x seedlings for transplantation. Before planting, open holes according to the 1.5-2.5m spacing between rows and plants, plant 1 seedling in each hole, fill in the soil after planting, watering and sealing Aun. The plant will be matured in a few years.

Field Management

During the nursery period, the soil is plowed and weeded and fertilized 2-3 times a year.

Pest control

Diseases include rot disease, which usually appears on the green branches of seedlings first ulcerated spots, and then gradually expand, and in severe cases, even the whole plant died. Prevention and treatment should strengthen the water and fertilizer management, protect the wound, improve the growth potential of seedlings, and in early spring in the trunk of the brush white coating (lime 5 parts, sulfur powder 1.5 parts, 2 parts of salt, 36 parts of water); such as seedlings on the spot has occurred, can be used to 100?% Tobutoxin 1000 times liquid spraying.

Insect pests have acacia geometrid, occurring 3 generations a year, prevention and control of untimely can eat all the leaves. Prevention and control should be in March before the canopy and around the loose soil in the pupa digging, found the first instar larvae, should be immediately sprayed pine caterpillar bacillus 500 times liquid or Bt emulsion 500 times liquid.
