How to propagate honeysuckle with a high survival rate, and techniques for the cultivation and management of honeysuckle.

How does honeysuckle reproduce

As a traditional Chinese medicinal material and ornamental plant, honeysuckle is deeply loved for its unique aroma and medicinal value. Mastering scientific reproduction and management techniques can make vines grow more vigorously and increase bud yield by more than 30%. Detailed explanation of honeysuckle reproduction method Seed reproduction operation guide Select April when the temperature is stable at 18-25℃. High-quality seeds need to be soaked in warm soup: first soaked in warm water at 50 ° C for 24 hours, and then mixed with moist river sand 1:3 to accelerate germination for 5-7 days. The depth of the sowing ditch is recommended to be 2-3 cm, the row spacing is maintained at 20-22 cm, and the seed amount per mu is about 1.5 kg. Building a sunshade net after emergence to maintain a 60% shading rate can effectively increase the survival rate of seedlings to more than 85%. Technical points for cuttage propagation Select semi-lignified branches in spring and autumn, retain 2-3 bud nodes, and obliquely cut 10-15cm cuttings at a 45-degree angle. Use a matrix with perlite: vermiculite =3:1, and the insertion depth is 1/2 of the cutting. The key is to control the humidity at 70%-80%, and combine it with rooting powder solution to soak the base, which can shorten the rooting time to about 15 days. A spray system needs to be built for cuttage in summer, and geothermal lines need to be laid for insulation in winter. The scientific management plan for honeysuckle water and fertilizer control system maintains the soil water content of 60% during the seedling stage and reduces it to 40% before flowering to promote flower bud differentiation. The "two fertilizers and three waters" system is adopted: 2000kg/mu of decomposed manure is applied in early spring, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are applied in the bud period; drip irrigation is carried out twice a week in the dry season, and a 30-cm drainage ditch is excavated in the rainy season. Combined with foliar spraying of 0.2% borax solution, the quality of flower buds can be significantly improved. Light pruning management Build a 2-meter-high scaffold to ensure light transmittance of more than 70%. Pruning is carried out 3 times a year: remove weak buds in spring, pick the stems to control excessive growth in summer, and retain 3-4 strong branches of the main vine in winter. Pay special attention to building sunshade nets from June to August to prevent strong light from burning leaves. Reasonable pruning can extend the harvest period to more than 15 years.

Through systematic reproductive management, honeysuckle planting can enter the high-yield period within three years. It is recommended to combine biological control, regularly spray matrine to prevent aphids, and use Bacillus subtilis to control powdery mildew to achieve ecological planting. Mastering these core technologies, the annual income per mu can reach 10,000 yuan.
