Chapter 163: Tree Honeysuckle (Subscription Requested)
The honeysuckle that Zhang Fan prepared for the Yang family girl is a new variety, which is more economical than wild honeysuckle.
They are tree-type honeysuckle, which is based on excellent honeysuckle varieties and traditional tree-shaped honeysuckle, using polyploid technology, after years of continuous breeding and elimination, and finally cultivated a new variety with excellent traits and stable hereditaryness, which is an excellent variety with stable growth, high yield and medicinal value and excellent economic benefits in the current honeysuckle line.
Of course, the technical instructor did not deceive the villagers of Tengyun Village. Wild honeysuckle varieties have the oldest and most primitive honeysuckle genes, and their medicinal value will be stronger than that of newly bred high-yield varieties.
But he didn't expect that the honeysuckle seeds that Zhang Fan bought back were refined by the net bottle, and their medicinal value was even higher than that of the ancient varieties.
"It doesn't look the same. The villagers who had helpers wondered.
The honeysuckle they planted was all vines, but the honeysuckle seedlings provided by Zhang Fan were a bit like trees.
Zhang Fan explained slightly: "It's different, this is a tree-shaped honeysuckle." ”
I didn't say anything specific, and they didn't understand it anyway.
In addition to showing economic traits such as high yield and high quality, tree honeysuckle also has strong adaptability and stress resistance, thick stems and leaves, dark green leaf color, strong photosynthesis, thick and long stem and leaf fluff, especially the young leaf fluff is thick and long, extremely resistant to honeysuckle round-tailed aphid, the leaf waxy layer is thick and many, the root system is developed, it has a strong drought resistance, barren and thin resistance, and has a strong ability of soil and water conservation, wind and sand fixation.
There is no technology for transplanting, so everyone does what Zhang Fan said, and there is a bit of a gap between them and the depth of their cuttings, but the others are actually the same, and they are the same as they used to plant seedlings.
"Don't be too close. Zhang Fan reminded again.
There is no need for him to repeat anything else, the people on the scene are all planting experts, and they have more experience than Zhang Fan, and they are much smoother than Zhang Fan.
In fact, every farmer has his own set of rigorous planting methods in his brain, but that is imperceptible to them, and has penetrated into their bone marrow, even if they do not summarize, they will get started as soon as they get started.
They can't understand what scientific planting knowledge you tell them, but the set in their minds is originally a scientific planting method, and they don't realize it.
The data of all kinds of agricultural planting are stored in their bones, and their cultural level is not high, so they can't express it.
Honeysuckle seedlings are transplanted, on the neat planting ground, according to the row spacing of 150 cm, the plant spacing of 120 cm digging holes, 40 cm wide, more than 10 cm deep OK. Soil miscellaneous fertilizer is applied to each hole and mixed with the subsoil.
Then, plant 1 strong seedling in each hole, fill the fine soil tightly, steadfastly, and water the root water. After it survives, it is pruned to form a dwarf shrub with an erect single plant, increasing branches and expanding the canopy.
Their previous cuttings were a little more troublesome, first of all, they had to go to the field to select the well-growing honeysuckle as the female parent, prune them properly, and remove the lower leaves as cuttings.
Then, on the selected land, dig holes according to the row spacing of 1.6m and plant spacing of 1.5m, the hole depth is 16-18cm, 5-6 cuttings per hole, and the scattered shape is obliquely erected in the buried soil, and the ground is exposed 7-10cm, about about the fill, and the soil is compacted.
"Rest assured, rest assured! The villagers who helped laughed.
Zhang Fan looked at it for a while and found that in addition to being a little messy at the beginning, the later plantings were better than him. I have to admire that the distance between each two honeysuckle plants is as accurate as if it had been measured with a meter ruler.
"Farmyard manure needs to be stockpiled, and it is best to apply fertilizer again before winter. Zhang Fan said to Yang Yatou.
Because this girl did not raise cattle at home, and the farm fertilizer was slightly lacking, Zhang Fan had to remind her to prepare early.
In the case of farmhouse fertilizer, not only Zhangjiazhai will have to be transported in from outside, but Tengyun Village and Qingtian Village will soon face the same embarrassment.
If the land is used too frequently, the plants consume nutrients seriously, so they must be replenished, otherwise the fertile fields will easily become barren. Of course, the farmers know this.
Yang Yuqing immediately responded: "Okay!"
But to let her be like Zhangjiazhai, a car from the outside for thousands of yuan, it is really too luxurious, she can't do it, she can only slowly figure out a cheaper way to store fertilizer.
"By the vernal equinox, fertilizer is also needed to ensure yield. Before flowering, it's actually all simple. Once it's flowering season, it's really busy. ”
If there is dry weather or too much rain during the flowering period, it will cause a large number of flowers, flowers, and young flowers cracking. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of irrigation and drainage work in a timely manner.
Moreover, it is necessary to keep an eye on the buds at all times and pick them in time. You can't wait until it's fully blooming, then it's not worth much.
Zhang Fan was busy while instilling some knowledge.
Not only Yang Yuqing listened carefully, but others also pricked up their ears, these are all valuable management knowledge, and it is of course best to remember it.
"In another year or two, you will need to learn how to prune. Pruning is conducive to the formation of flower branches and the growth of flower buds. If it is not pruned, it will desperately grow branches and leaves, and it will bloom less. ”
"That's what the people who came to our village to teach us how to grow honeysuckle said the same thing. The woman next to her chimed in.
Zhang Fan nodded: "Especially honeysuckle like yours, it needs to be pruned even more, and the method is quite critical." At that time, that person should come back to teach you, don't worry. ”
Those villagers of Tengyun Village saw that Zhang Fan was right, and many details were taken out, which made them admire, they have real skills. Those who have read books should be better at plowing and farming.
If Zhang Fan knew that they were thinking, he would definitely laugh.
When he was in high school, he had a table mate who told him a joke. He said that there was a college student in their village, who came from an agricultural university, and when he returned to his hometown, he bragged that planting should be scientific in order to increase yield.
So, the buddy first nervously took back the soil of his farmland for a simple test, and first understood what nutrients the soil lacked.
Then fertilization and pesticide sprinkling have to be accurately calculated with measuring cups and the like, who knows that the harvest of the crops planted is very embarrassing, and it makes a big joke, which almost becomes the laughing stock of the village, so that many people privately say that since they want to farm, what books do they still study? What do you go to school to learn? It is better to watch how others plant at home?
Zhang Fan can only say that the unlucky child loses without complaining.
Comparing the crops that farmers grow year after year with others is dying.
For example, when growing rice, the farmer grows it twice a year, and his experience is incomparable.
If he had tried a different crop that farmers were not familiar with, it would have been a different result.
With everyone's help, Yang Yuqing's land was soon planted with honeysuckle. Zhang Fan once again told the matter of watering.
On the other hand, the county magistrate only visited for about two hours to learn about honeysuckle planting, sales, markets, and prospects.
