Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of Chinese herbal medicine planting, and particularly relates to a planting method for intercropping lilies and rhizoma corydalis. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the large-scale development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry, lilies and rhizoma corydalis, as common traditional Chinese medicines, have a growing market demand. However, in traditional planting, lilies and rhizoma corydalis are mostly planted in a monoculture mode. Lilies have a long growth period, while rhizoma corydalis has a short growth period. In monoculture, the lily field is prone to idle land due to low crop coverage in the early stage, and the field needs to be left empty after the harvest of rhizoma corydalis until the next season for planting, so that the effective utilization time of the land is insufficient throughout the year, resulting in waste of arable land resources.

[0003] In addition, when lilies are planted in monoculture, the period from March to April of the next year is the rapid germination period of weeds. At this time, the lily plants are short and have low coverage, and the weeds have strong ability to compete for light and nutrients, so that manual weeding needs to be performed 2-3 times, which requires additional labor costs. If chemical herbicides are used, the lily roots are prone to drug damage, which affects the quality. Moreover, the monoculture field has a single crop community structure, and the ecological system has weak stability, so that diseases and pests such as root rot and aphids are prone to occur.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intercropping planting method that can adapt to the growth characteristics of lilies and rhizoma corydalis, improve the land utilization rate, reduce the management cost, and balance the yield and economic benefits. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a planting method for intercropping lilies and rhizoma corydalis, which can improve the land utilization rate, suppress weeds, increase yield, and improve economic benefits.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned application purposes, the present application provides the following technical solutions. A planting method for intercropping lilies and rhizoma corydalis, wherein lilies and rhizoma corydalis are planted in late September to early October, rhizoma corydalis is harvested in late April to early May of the next year, and lilies are harvested in late July to early August of the next year; the planting is performed by digging planting holes, 3 rhizoma corydalis seed stems are planted on each of the upper and lower sides of the planting hole, and 2 lily seed balls are planted in the middle of the 2 rows of rhizoma corydalis.

[0007] Preferably, the size of the planting hole is 18-22 cm x 18-22 cm x 8-12 cm.

[0008] Preferably, the rhizoma corydalis seed stem is 5-6 cm away from the bottom of the hole, and the spacing is 5-6 cm.

[0009] Preferably, the spacing of the lily seed balls is 14-16 cm.

[0010] Preferably, the spacing of the planting holes is 30-35 cm x 30-35 cm.

[0011] Preferably, before digging planting holes, the land is prepared, and 2500-3000 kg / mu of well-rotted manure is applied in conjunction with tilling, and 50-60 kg / mu of slaked lime is spread for soil disinfection. After land preparation, raised beds are made at a height of 165-195 cm, with a ditch width of 25-35 cm and a ditch depth of 30-40 cm, and planting holes are dug on the bed surface.

[0012] Preferably, the base fertilizer applied to the planting hole includes 200-250 kg / mu of organic fertilizer, 75-100 kg / mu of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, 1-2 bundles of wood ash / hole and 6-10 kg / mu of phorate.

[0013] Preferably, the lily bulbs are disinfected by soaking in carbendazim and mancozeb, and then planted after drying.

[0014] Preferably, after planting, the soil is covered and low ridges are made along the surface of the planting bed, with a ridge height of 5-6 cm.

[0015] Preferably, the planting method is suitable for mountainous climate zones with an average annual temperature of 5-15℃, a frost-free period of 150-250 days, an annual precipitation of 800-1500mm, and an altitude of 800-2500m.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention fully utilizes the differences in the growth periods and characteristics of lilies and Corydalis, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of land resources and the overall output benefits. Moreover, the peak growth period of Corydalis coincides with the seedling stage of lilies. The lush stems and leaves of Corydalis can effectively suppress the growth of weeds. After the Corydalis seedlings wither and are harvested, the lilies enter their vigorous growth period, so they do not interfere with each other.

[0017] This invention utilizes an intercropping ecological planting model, which improves biodiversity, enhances soil structure, and significantly reduces the incidence of diseases and pests. Each acre can yield over 700 kg of fresh lily bulbs and over 300 kg of fresh Corydalis rhizome, with a comprehensive output value per acre approximately 6,000 yuan higher than that of monoculture lily, thus greatly improving economic benefits.

[0052] Experimental Example 1 Differences in growth and yield between intercropping lily with Corydalis and monoculture of lily The experiment was conducted at the Lily and Corydalis Research Base in Shizhu County, Chongqing, at an altitude of 1000m. The tested lily variety was 'Chongdan No. 1' and the tested Corydalis variety was 'Yu Yuanhu No. 1', both of which had corn as their preceding crop.

[0053] Experimental group: Example 1.

[0054] Control group: Lilies were planted alone, and other management was the same as the experimental group.

[0055] The residential area is 30 square meters. 2 Randomized block design with three replicates. Planted in early September, Corydalis rhizome harvested at the end of April the following year, and Lilium brownii harvested in late July. Actual measurements were taken at the time of harvesting.

[0056] Experimental results: (1) Field growth Control group: Due to the single crop, the lily seedling stage in the following year coincided with the rapid growth of weeds, resulting in increased labor input for weeding.

[0057] Experimental group: The following year, Corydalis seedlings emerged early, and the above-ground parts grew rapidly in March, quickly covering the field and significantly suppressing weed growth. When the Corydalis seedlings withered in late April, the above-ground parts of the lily only then entered vigorous growth, preventing weed infestation. Due to the abundance of intercropped crops, the population showed stronger resistance and less damage from pests and diseases compared to the control group.

[0058] (2) Output Control group: Fresh lily yield was 780.6 kg / mu.

[0059] Experimental group: The yield of fresh lily was 758.1 kg / mu, and the yield of fresh corydalis was 311.4 kg / mu.

[0060] (3) Economic benefits Control group: Fresh lilies were valued at 12 yuan / kg, with a yield of 9367.2 yuan / mu.

[0061] In the experimental group, the yield value of fresh lily bulbs was 9097.2 yuan / mu at 12 yuan / kg, and that of fresh Corydalis rhizome was 6228 yuan / mu at 20 yuan / kg. Overall, intercropping lily bulbs and Corydalis rhizome increased the yield value by 5958 yuan / mu compared to monoculture of lily bulbs.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
