Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ecological planting of traditional Chinese medicines, and specifically relates to a method for planting Polygonum multiflorum under forests. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the Chinese medicinal materials planting industry, the market demand for Polygonum multiflorum, as an important medicinal plant, has increased year by year. However, the traditional method of planting Polygonum multiflorum requires the occupation of arable land, and the problem of competing with grain crops for land is more prominent. At the same time, it is easy to cause soil erosion when planted on slopes, which has a certain impact on the ecological environment. Although the conventional understory planting model attempts to alleviate the problem of arable land occupation, due to limitations such as insufficient light, low soil fertility, and frequent pests and diseases, the yield of Polygonum multiflorum is low, and the content of its active ingredients (such as diphenyl glycosides) fluctuates greatly, making it difficult to meet the market demand for high-quality medicinal materials. In addition, the existing technology is still insufficient for the coordinated utilization of understory ecosystems, and a balance has not been achieved between economic benefits and ecological protection, which has limited the promotion and application of understory planting models.

[0003] Polygonum multiflorum is a perennial, twining herb with clumpy or irregularly spindle-shaped tubers and a reddish-brown or reddish-brown surface. It possesses high medicinal value. While cutting propagation effectively improves seedling survival rates, existing methods still require improved management in terms of environmental regulation, soil improvement, and pest and disease control. To address these challenges, it is crucial to develop a forest planting method that can both increase Polygonum multiflorum yield and quality while protecting the ecological environment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a method for planting Polygonum multiflorum under a forest. The planting method constructs a new planting system through the comprehensive application of multi-species coordinated configuration, soil improvement technology, ecological management model and harvest optimization technology, and solves the problems of traditional Polygonum multiflorum planting occupying arable land, soil erosion, and conventional under-forest planting with insufficient light, low soil fertility, and frequent pests and diseases.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a method for planting Polygonum multiflorum under a forest, the planting method comprising the following steps:

[0006] (1) Select shallow-rooted trees (such as Chinese pine and Chinese fir) as companion plants in the forest, and set the tree spacing to more than 4 meters to ensure that the light transmittance under the forest reaches 30%-40%; the fallen leaves of the trees naturally cover the soil surface, and the fallen leaves decompose to provide organic matter and regulate soil moisture;

[0007] (2) Before planting, the soil was improved by applying a composite improved matrix consisting of humus, fungus residue, and plant ash, mixed evenly in a weight ratio of 3:1:1. The soil pH was adjusted to 6.0-6.5. Slow-release organic fertilizer bags consisting of earthworm castings and bone meal were buried in trenches between ridges. The fertilizer effect could last for 6-8 months.

[0008] (3) Using grass mulch method, planting low nitrogen-fixing plants such as clover under the forest to inhibit weed growth and increase soil nitrogen content, while introducing natural enemy insects such as ladybugs to control aphids and reduce the use of chemical pesticides;

[0009] (4) Polygonum multiflorum is harvested in stages according to its growth cycle: tubers are harvested from 3-year-old plants, and vines are harvested from 1-2-year-old plants, thus realizing resource recycling.

[0010] Furthermore, the specific operation of the cutting propagation is as follows:

[0011] (1) Select a container with a size of 8cm×7.48cm×5cm, and mix the soil with 70% humus, 10% sand and 20% organic fertilizer, then put it into the container after thorough mixing;

[0012] (2) Select branches with a vine bud length of 10-30 cm, a branch diameter of 0.3 cm-0.58 cm, a branch bevel of 0.3 cm-1.05 cm, and 2-3 full and pest-free vine buds as cutting materials;

[0013] (3) Apply the smear (black, gray, white, yellow) to the branches first, and then soak them in rooting powder solution (1 jin to 500 times water), carbendazim solution (1 jin to 1000 times water) and water-soluble fertilizer solution (1 jin to 250-350 kg of water) for 1 minute after 20-40 minutes, and then water them thoroughly.

[0014] (4) When transplanting, the distance between the tillage and the soil should be controlled between 1 meter and 1.2 meters, and the soil should be covered with a film arch box. The height of the shed arch should be set to 60cm-80cm. The temperature in the shed should be maintained at 30℃-42℃, and the humidity should be kept above 80%. When the seedling height reaches 10 cm, the overcrowded or weak seedlings should be thinned out, and weeding should be strengthened when the seedling height reaches 15 cm.

[0015] Furthermore, the implementation method of the coordinated configuration of multiple tree species is: select shallow-rooted trees to plant with Polygonum multiflorum, with the tree spacing ≥4 meters to ensure suitable lighting conditions under the forest; the fallen leaves of the trees naturally cover the soil, and the fallen leaves decompose to form organic matter, which regulates soil moisture and promotes the growth of Polygonum multiflorum.

[0016] Furthermore, the operational details of the soil improvement technology are as follows: before planting, a composite improvement matrix is ​​applied, which consists of humus, fungal residue and wood ash, mixed evenly in a weight ratio of 3:1:1, and the soil pH is adjusted to 6.0-6.5; trenches are dug between ridges to bury slow-release organic fertilizer bags, which are composed of earthworm castings and bone meal. The fertilizer effect lasts for 6-8 months, providing a long-term nutrient supply to the soil.

[0017] Furthermore, the implementation method of the ecological management model is: planting low nitrogen-fixing plants such as clover under the forest, covering the ground to inhibit the growth of weeds, and at the same time increasing the nitrogen content in the soil through nitrogen fixation; introducing natural enemy insects such as ladybugs to control aphids, reduce the use of chemical pesticides, and reduce environmental pollution.

[0018] Furthermore, the implementation method of the harvesting optimization technology is: harvesting in stages according to the growth cycle of Polygonum multiflorum, harvesting tubers from 3-year-old plants, and harvesting vines from 1-2-year-old plants, thereby realizing resource recycling and improving economic benefits.

[0019] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows: (1) Significant ecological benefits: The present invention utilizes the space under the forest to plant Polygonum multiflorum, avoiding competition with food crops for land and alleviating the shortage of arable land resources. At the same time, through grass cover (such as clover) and returning fallen leaves to the fields, it reduces soil erosion and improves the forest microenvironment. In addition, the coordinated planting of multiple tree species (such as pine + Polygonum multiflorum + nitrogen-fixing plants) forms a symbiotic system, attracts beneficial insects (such as ladybugs), and inhibits the outbreak of pests; (2) Outstanding economic benefits: Planting under the forest can simultaneously harvest wood (such as pine, fir) and medicinal materials (Polygonum multiflorum), and artificially planted Polygonum multiflorum is effective. The content of ingredients (such as diphenyl glycosides and polysaccharides) is significantly higher than that of field planting, which reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and reduces dependence on pesticides; (3) Strong technical sustainability: the composite matrix (humus soil + fungus residue + wood ash) and slow-release fertilizer bag in the present invention can continuously provide nutrients to avoid soil degradation. At the same time, planting waste (such as Polygonum multiflorum vines and fallen leaves) can be made into organic fertilizer or biomass fuel to achieve "zero waste"; (4) Policy support and market potential: the present invention is in line with the national forest economy and rural revitalization policy orientation. At the same time, the high-purity, low-pesticide residue ecological Polygonum multiflorum is in line with the "high quality and high price" trend of the Chinese medicinal materials market, and there is a large premium space.
