Cost analysis: generally, one acre of land needs 20-25kg of mother roots, which needs about 300-500 yuan in total; Scaffolding costs about 3,000 yuan, and the annual fertilizer cost is about 500-600 yuan/mu. Profit: The yield of Trichosanthes kirilowii is 200-220kg per mu, and the market price is 16-20 yuan/kg. With Fructus Trichosanthis, the final profit can reach 4000-5000 yuan/mu.

I. Costs and benefits of Trichosanthes kirilowii cultivation

1, cost

(1) Trichosanthes kirilowii is planted by roots. Usually, an acre of land needs 20-25 kilograms of mother roots, and a total of about 300-500 yuan is needed.

(2) In the first year, the scaffolding cost is about 3,000 yuan, and the fertilizer cost is about 500-600 yuan/mu.

(3) The total cost in the first year adds up to about 3800-4 100 yuan.

2. Profit

The yield per mu of Trichosanthes kirilowii is between 200 and 220kg, and the market price is about 16-20 yuan /kg. With Trichosanthes kirilowii, the market price is around 30-35 yuan/kg, and the final profit can reach 4000-5000 yuan/mu.

Second, the planting method of Trichosanthes kirilowii

1, soil preparation

(1) Land requirements: The sandy loam plot to be planted should be sunny and leeward, with deep soil layer, loose and fertile soil, good drainage performance and ph value of 6.7-7.2.

(2) Land treatment: deep ploughing and deep ploughing (25cm deep ploughing). After autumn, 5,000 kilograms of decomposed farmyard manure is applied to each mu as base fertilizer. Flat border with a width of 120cm.

Step 2 sow seeds

(1) seed treatment: select 2-3-year-old female roots (uniform thickness, white and fresh cut surface, no pests and diseases), then cut them into 5-7cm sections, dip plant ash in the incision, dry them and prepare for sowing.

(2) Sowing time: Sowing in the middle of March-April.

(3) Sowing method: Digging for sowing, row spacing 120? 100cm, depth 10- 12cm. Put a root in each hole, then cover it with a layer of 3-5cm thick soil, and water it after covering it.

Step 3 manage

(1) After sowing and before emergence, dilute each mu with 70- 100 ml of acetochlor and spray water.

(2) When the vines grow to more than 30cm, erect the support and lead the vines to the shelf. 1* * scaffolding has three rows, about 1.5m high, with row spacing of 2.4-2.7m and plant spacing of 2-2.4m. ..

(3) After the vines are put on the shelves, attention should be paid to pruning and interruption, and weak vines and trailing vines should be cut off to ensure centralized nutrient delivery.

(4) Starting from the second year, topdressing is carried out twice a year, and the seedling height is about 34cm, in mid-June (flowering period). 500- 1000 kg of decomposed human manure or 50 kg of bean cake fertilizer+urea 10- 15 kg+calcium superphosphate 15 kg per mu.

(5) Pay attention to artificial pollination at flowering stage.
