Textual research of materia medica: it is clear that the taste is salty and blood is removed, and the cold of qi is used to treat heat. Therefore, it is not suitable to treat the green blind skin tear caused by heat. If it is caused by qi cold, it will lead to various eye syndromes. 1 1.

Land selection and preparation

It is advisable to choose flat land or sunny sloping land with good irrigation and drainage conditions, and avoid applying 2000 kilograms of farmyard manure per mu for continuous cropping and adding 60 kilograms of calcium superphosphate as base fertilizer. Digging, trimming, harrowing, and making a flat bed with a width of1.3m. ..

breeding method

Reproduce with seeds. In the middle and late April, select seeds with full grains and no moth-eaten, soak them in warm water at 50℃ and new high-fat film for 24 hours, take them out and dry them a little, and then drill them in rows of 60 cm, with a ditch depth of 5-7 cm. After sowing, cover the soil by 3 cm, slightly suppress it and water it. 10- 15 days. Use 2 kilograms of seeds per mu. If the seeds are covered with plastic film, the yield and quality of cassia seed can be significantly improved.

Tiantuan management

(1) When the height of thinning seedlings and fixed seedlings is about 5 cm, thinning seedlings will start. When the seedling height is 15cm, it should be combined with intertillage weeding, and the seedlings should be fixed according to the plant spacing of 30-40cm. (2) Weeding in intertillage During the period from emergence to line closure, weeding should be done frequently, and intertillage should be done in time after watering. And pay attention to shallow hoes between plants and deep hoes between rows. When the seedling height is about 40 cm, the final 1 intertillage cultivation can be carried out to prevent lodging. (3) Combined topdressing 1-2 times before topdressing, applying farmyard manure 1000 kg per mu, adding urea 15 kg, and watering immediately after application. (4) Irrigation and drainage should always keep the soil moist during the whole growth period, especially in the case of drought at flowering stage. Pay attention to drainage in rainy season. (5) Pest control According to plant protection measures, chemical agents are sprayed to kill pests and diseases, and the new high-fat film is sprayed to enhance the efficacy; Cold-proof preparation in late autumn and early winter lays the foundation for high yield and income increase in the coming year.

Matters needing attention

Cassia seed (1) is an annual robust herb, so it is advisable to choose flat land or sunny slope with good irrigation and drainage conditions to avoid continuous cropping. Dig deep into the land, make it thin and rake it flat. Reproduce with seeds. Selecting seeds with full grains and no moth-eaten, soaking them in warm water and new high-fat film can repel underground pests and diseases, isolate virus infection, strengthen respiratory intensity and improve seed germination rate. Take it out and dry it to sow. Spraying new high-fat film before plastic film mulching can significantly improve the yield and quality of cassia seed. 3. Timely thinning seedlings, fixing seedlings, intertillage weeding, topdressing and reasonable irrigation and drainage. Spraying Caiguozhuangdiling in time can improve the quality of pollen fertilization and promote fruit development, without deformity, empty shell or chaff, with good uniformity, improved quality and high yield. Spraying chemicals to kill pests and diseases according to plant protection measures, combined with spraying new high-fat film to enhance the efficacy; Cold-proof preparation in late autumn and early winter lays the foundation for high yield and income increase in the coming year.
