Toon planting technology
In the toon planting, to grasp the following scientific and technological management.
I, regulating temperature, humidity and light.1, temperature regulation. It is observed that the shed temperature at about 25 ℃, 24 hours shoots can grow 3-4 cm; and 15 ℃ case, only 1 cm; shed temperature more than 35 ℃, affecting the coloring and quality of toon buds. After 10-15 days after buckling the film is the period of seedling slowing down, efforts should be made to raise the temperature, and the temperature of the shed can be around 30℃ in the daytime. After more than 1 month of natural light temperature accumulation, bud sprouting, daytime temperature control at 25-30 ℃, night control at 13-17 ℃, picking buds during the temperature of 18-25 ℃ is appropriate. Depending on the situation, cover grass thatch, paper was to increase the temperature or heat preservation. 2, temperature regulation. Seedlings planted in the greenhouse, the root system has poor water absorption capacity, so it is desirable to maintain high soil humidity and air humidity at the beginning of the planting should be watered thoroughly, and then watered as appropriate. The relative humidity of the air is maintained at more than 85%, sunny days, but also to the seedlings spray water to prevent water loss and drying. After sprouting, the relative humidity of air to 70% is appropriate, humidity is too large, not only delayed germination, and the aroma is greatly reduced, it should be timely to release the wind to drain the humidity. 3, light regulation. Toon likes light, should try to use non-drip film, timely uncovering grass thatch, paper was, but also often sweep the film debris to increase the light, if the light is too strong, can be appropriate cover grass shade.
Two, hit the top to promote branching. In the picking of the second crop of toon, the top at the same time remove the drying (from 40 cm from the ground at the top). After fixing the stem, spray 15% polyconazole solution at a concentration of 200-500ppm to control apical dominance and promote rapid growth of branches to achieve dwarfing cultivation. Thereafter, according to the development of the tree, timely topping and branching, to ensure that the crown of the tree more branches, more production of tsubaki buds, to achieve high-yield and high-quality.
Three, water and fertilizer management. Toon for fast-growing woody vegetables, water demand is not large, fertilizer to potash demand is higher, per 300 square meters of greenhouse, the bottom fertilizer needs to be fully rotted high-quality farmyard fertilizer about 2500 kg, 75-150 kg of grass ash, or 3-6 kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, diammonium carbonate 3-6 kg. After each picking, according to the ground strength, toon growth and leaf color, appropriate amount of fertilizer, watering.
Four, set of light-insulating film bags. After the rainy season, the ground temperature is above 18 ℃ can remove the film, let the sapling grow naturally. After this sapling although the development of faster, but easy to age, should be prepared early black and red 2 layer 2 color polyethylene film bags, when the toon shoots grow to 5 cm, you can set the light barrier film bags. This can not only increase the yield, but also ensure that the toon buds do not aging. When the toon buds grow to 15 centimeters, even the bag together with the harvest, and then go to the bag sales, this film bag can be utilized many times.
Fifth, picking buds and packaging. 40-60 days after the buckle film, when the tsubaki buds grow to 15 cm, and good coloring can begin to pick buds. The buds should be picked in the morning and evening. The first shoots (i.e., born at the top of the branch buds) quality and color are good, for the top grade, suitable for harvesting in 12-15 cm. When the second crop of buds grows to 20 centimeters, it is timely to harvest the top, promote its side buds, hidden buds, and improve the yield. Generally every 10 days can be harvested 1 time, after harvesting discretionary fertilizer, watering, promote the growth of tsubaki buds.
The toon buds listed before and after the Spring Festival, after harvesting to organize bundling, generally every 50-100 grams for 1 bundle, into a plastic bag sealed mouth, to prevent moisture loss.
