Planting techniques of agarwood seedlings
(1) Morphological characteristics: evergreen trees, 6-20m high, 50-90cm in diameter at breast height; Bark is dark gray, smooth, with white endothelium, developed fibers and easy to peel off; Leaves leathery, ovoid, ovoid or obovate, 5 5- 10/0cm long and 2-5cm wide, with lateral veins 15-20 pairs; Petiole is about 5 mm long and hairy. Umbellies terminal or axillary; Flowers are fragrant and pilose; Capsule obovoid, woody, 2-3 cm long, about 2 cm in diameter.
(2) Distribution and habits: mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Fujian and other provinces, generally born below 400 meters above sea level, Hainan can reach 1000 meters. The distribution area is located near and south of the Tropic of Cancer, and belongs to the tropical and subtropical monsoon climate with high temperature, rainy and humid. The annual average temperature 19-25℃, the monthly average temperature 13-20℃, the average temperature in July is around 28℃ or above, and the extreme minimum temperature can occasionally be below (-1.8)℃. I like moist and loose latosol or mountain yellow soil with thick soil layer and rich humus. Most of them are distributed in mountain rainforests or semi-evergreen monsoon forest. It is a weakly positive tree species, fashionable and shade-tolerant.
(3) Planting season and method: 1, planting season: spring 3? When the temperature rises in April and the spring buds have not germinated or just germinated, choose rainy days for planting. The survival rate can reach more than 95%. If you choose bagged seedlings or nutrient pot seedlings, the planting season is relatively loose and the planting effect is better.
2. Preparation before planting: Dig a pit according to the plant spacing, and the specifications of the pit: width 50? 50 cm, 40 cm deep. After digging the planting hole, backfill the topsoil first, and then cooperate with the base fertilizer. Dosage per plant: compound fertilizer100g, calcium magnesium phosphorus100g, and calcium superphosphate 250g, and mix them with backfill soil evenly. However, it should be noted that the order of fertilizer release is: first, put compound fertilizer mixed topsoil-put calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium superphosphate-mix the topsoil evenly, and then plant seedlings on it. The purpose of this is to avoid direct contact between root system and compound fertilizer, so that root system can directly contact with calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium superphosphate, which is beneficial to rooting. Pay attention to proper deep planting when planting to avoid exposing the base of ground diameter. After planting, the whole backfill soil should be slightly higher than the hole surface, forming a hill shape, or opening a drainage ditch. Do not accumulate water or bury soil to avoid root rot.
3. Planting density: Planting density cannot be generalized, but depends on site conditions. Where the water and fertilizer conditions are good is 2M? 3M, planting about 100 plants per mu; In areas with less fertile land and less rainfall, 2M is often used. The specification of 2.5M is about per mu 120 plants.
4. Planting method: before emergence, cut off the lateral branches and leaves at the lower part of the seedling, keep several leaves at the upper part, and cut off half of each leaf. When planting seedlings, the plants are erect, the roots are stretched, the soil is covered in layers, and the root water is poured thoroughly. The survival rate can reach more than 95%.
5. Young tree tending: after planting, loosen the soil and mow the grass twice at the end of the rainy season. In the next three years, it is necessary to strengthen tending management such as removing impurities, weeding, loosening soil and expanding holes. Tending twice a year, 1 time before and after the rainy season. Fertilization: combine loosening soil, weeding and hole expansion. In rainy season, fertilize twice a year, and apply compound fertilizer 100 ~ 150g to each plant, so as to promote the growth of trees, make them dense as soon as possible and reduce weeds. When tending, attention should be paid to pruning branches once a year to cultivate excellent dry shape, which is conducive to fragrance. However, it should be noted that in the first year of young forest, it is beneficial not to cut off all the lateral branches prematurely and excessively, but to keep some of them temporarily. As time goes on, the young forest grows taller and taller, and then it is gradually pruned upwards. This is beneficial to increase the photosynthesis of plant leaves in the young forest period, and to the growth of young forest and the development of root system.
6. Maintenance during the growth period of adult trees: only weeding and proper fertilization are needed during the growth period of agarwood trees. Adult trees are barren and don't need much care; A slight pest is beneficial to the formation of incense.
Chinese medicine? Aquilaria?

The new wound caused by taking agarwood can still smell sweet.
2. Half-broken rod method. From the bottom of the trunk 1 Saw a wound more than 2 meters on the trunk, the depth is 1/3 to 1/2 of the trunk thickness.

After several years, you can take incense from the wound, and after taking incense, Xiangmen can continue to make incense until the incense reaches the head and roots of the tree.
3. Drilling method. Above the ground 1? How many holes have been cut in the 3-meter trunk? 3 cm, width and height are all 3? 4 cm square hole or diameter 1? 3 cm, 3 cm deep? 6 cm round hole, and then sealed with mud, the xylem near the hole gradually secretes resin, and agarwood can be produced in a few years.
4. Artificial inoculation method. /kloc-trees older than 0/0 are better, 5? You can also be inoculated artificially at the age of 6, which is fragrant. The tree is semi-broken and dried, and the wound can be large; Small trees should be drilled, and the wounds should be small. The trunk is on the same side, facing the wind, from top to bottom, every 40? At 50 cm, use a saw, chisel and other tools to open a incense door in the direction perpendicular to the trunk. The depth is about 1/3 of the trunk thickness, and the mouth width is about 1? 2 cm, then fill the incense door with fragrant plants and wrap it with plastic film to prevent the pollution of miscellaneous bacteria and the harm of insects and ants. Aquilaria sinensis can be harvested in a few years.
5, the dead tree fragrance method. In nature, Aquilaria sinensis is often attacked by insects and ants, diseases, wind falling and wind breaking, which leads to rot, decay or death. These parts are often fragrant, and agarwood is often recyclable in dead trunks or roots.
