Woody Honeysuckle Technology

Honeysuckle is a valuable Chinese herbal medicine with its clearing and detoxifying effect. The motherland's traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy thinks: "Honeysuckle is good at poisoning, and those who haven't become toxic can disperse, and those who have already become poison can collapse. It is also a holy medicine." Studies in modern medicine have shown that honeysuckle has a broad spectrum of antibacterial properties, and is known as "Chinese medicine antibiotics" and "green antibiotics." After the National Ministry of Health approved honeysuckle for medicine and food, its value was greatly increased. At present, it is widely used in medicine, health products, food, beverages, cosmetics and various food additives. At present, the domestic and foreign markets are in short supply and have broad prospects. Chinese science and technology workers have adopted techniques such as plant cloning, bioengineering, and genetic improvement to cultivate an ecological woody honeysuckle that combines medicinal, ornamental, and landscaping, and that is resistant to cold, drought, heat, and poverty. The promotion of this result will play a huge role in promoting the return of farmland to forests and the development of featured agriculture, dry farming, ecological agriculture, and adjustment of agricultural structure in the western region and increasing farmers’ income. Woody honeysuckle is a perennial woody plant of the family Caprifoliaceae. Its plant height is 1-2.8 meters, flowering period is from April to October, and yellow and white flowers are opened. It is characterized by small leaves, large flowers, high content of active ingredients, and leaf flowers. Use, eat. And the root system is very developed, particularly cold-resistant, drought-resistant, high-temperature resistance, anti-poor ability. 1. Colonization is generally planted every spring and autumn. The row spacing is 1.5 meters x 2 meters, ie 222 trees per 667 square meters (1 acre). 2. Field Management 1 Soil Management: Care should be taken to keep the soil loose and there are no weeds in the garden. Every year in early spring and autumn and winter, loose soil and earth are to be cultivated in time. 2Fat and water management: The root system of woody honeysuckle is very developed, and it is resistant to cold, drought, high temperature, and strong anti-poor ability. Therefore, it does not require strict requirements on fertilizer and water. It is only necessary to ensure the basic fertilizer before and after the seedling and flowering period. In time, you can apply a certain amount of soil fertilizer or fertilizer in time. 3 Pruning pruning: The woody honeysuckle has an upright feature. When pruning, it is necessary to consider the normal growth of the plant and to increase its effective flowering area as much as possible. Therefore, irregular round shapes are often used in production. 3. Harvesting and processing Because the flowering period is concentrated from April to October and blossoms in three seasons, picking should be done with good weather, timely harvesting, post-harvest dryness or low-temperature rapid drying after harvest to avoid loss of active ingredients. . 1. After three years of planting efficiency, the plant will produce 300 kg of honeysuckle per 667 m2 (1 mu) (20 yuan per kilogram of herbal medicine purchase price) and 100 kg of honeysuckle leaf tea (40 yuan per kilogram of market price). Up to 4000 yuan, if the intercropping with other varieties, the higher efficiency. 2. Reproductive income The propagation of woody honeysuckle is mainly based on plant cloning and cuttings. The three-year-old honeysuckle per 667 square meters can cut 10,000 to 15,000 strains without affecting the amount of flower production and leaf production, creating a profit of 2 - About 3 million yuan, plant cloning more efficient. Therefore, the planting income plus reproductive income, the comprehensive benefit of more than 30,000 yuan per 667 square meters. China Agricultural Network Editor
