Do you need any technology for cultivating Fructus Aurantii?
(1) Seedling raising and transplanting
Select mature fruits from mature trees to collect seeds, dry them in the shade, mix them with 30% sand, and bury them in the sand pit for later use. Choose sandy loam as the seedbed, sow with 8 cm row spacing before and after the fright, cover the soil for about half a centimeter, cover the seeds with wheat straw and water them. After emergence, you can remove the cover and weed, and apply dilute manure and water fertilizer. In autumn, the spacing between plants is 7 ~ 8 cm, so it is necessary to alternate or supplement the seedlings. After the seedlings grow for 3 ~ 4 years, select strong seedlings without pests and diseases and transplant them in summer according to the row spacing of 15 cm.
(2) Bud grafting (poor survival rate of branch grafting)
Before and after the Cold Dew Festival, select 2-3-year-old fine varieties and robust branches without pests and diseases, pick leaves and leave stems, then cut branches and buds together with a small xylem into shield-shaped scions, then cut the bark on the trunk of the rootstock (with rooted seedlings) horizontally, and then cut a knife downwards in the middle to make it T-shaped. After the xylem of the scion is removed, it is immediately embedded in the kerf of the rootstock and bound and fixed. After grafting, cut off the rootstock above the joint and let only the scion grow. 2 ~ 3 years after grafting, plant according to the spacing of 45cm, first dig resistance, put seedlings, arrange roots, fill soil, then gently lift seedlings to stretch fibrous roots, and then stably fill soil.
(3) High branch layering method
From June 5438 to February, 2-3-year-old branches were selected from strong trees, cut into a slit with a width of about 1 cm, peeled off the bark, mixed with wet mud, wrapped with straw for external use, and watered once a day or every other day, which can take root for more than half a month. Each robust tree can receive 6- 10 branches, cut them in about 2 months and plant them in the ground.
2. Tian Tuan management
(1) intertillage weeding
Three or four times a year, too dry for irrigation and too wet for drainage.
(2) Fertilization
A circular furrow with a width of about 7-8 cm and a depth of about 3 cm was dug under the crown by ring fertilization. Fertilize once before flowering (after physiological fruit drop is determined) and once after fruit picking, including human excrement, pond mud, vegetation, bone meal, manure, etc. Can be used, each plant is about 25-35 kg at a time.
(3) Pruning
Trees grow mostly in winter, and drooping branches (aging), thorns, residual fruit stems, dead branches and densely distributed side branches, overlapping branches, cross branches and pests and diseases can be cut off.
3. Pest control
(1) ulcer disease
The fruits of branches and leaves are damaged, and the leaves first show yellow needle-like spots, which gradually swell and rupture, spongy and grayish, and often fall off and deform. The diseased branches should be pruned and burned in time, and 200 times of Bordeaux mixture should be sprayed before spring buds.
(2) Sore and dementia
Damage to leaves, branches and fruits, the disease spot is brownish red at first, then it expands and darkens, forming verrucous processes, and the prevention and control methods are the same as above.
(3) Coal disease
Scale insects, aphids, etc. It's all induced by parasitism. The leaves are now small spots like coal ash, and later they have expanded, and the leaves are covered with black films. Pay attention to drainage, pruning, ventilation and light transmission to kill pests.
Long-horned beetle, red spider, scale insect, leaf miner, citrus fruit fly, etc. Treat with appropriate pesticides.
4. Harvest and processing
It should be picked before and after the summer heat. If it is too early, the fruit is small, if it is too late, the fruit is too big and the meat is thin, which affects the quality. Choose green unripe fruits, cut them crosswise on sunny days, and spread them out one by one (usually on a straw mat). When drying, the pulp (incision) is upward, so as not to get wet by ash or water. After drying to semi-dryness, reverse dry the skin until it is completely dry. If it's rainy, you can use a kang, the incision is down, and the quilt has a little more firepower. After semi-drying, you can use a small fire kang until it is completely dry.
What is the difference between fried Fructus Aurantii and Fructus Aurantii?
