Cultivation method of bamboo leaf pepper

1. Basic Introduction

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is also called vine pepper, named after its long vines. Its roots, stems, leaves and fruits can all be used as Chinese medicinal materials, which have the effects of preventing wind and cold, relieving pain and promoting qi circulation, and are very effective in treating rheumatic bone pain. There are two sowing seasons: spring and autumn, but autumn sowing is the main one.

2. Breeding methods

1. Selection of seedling site: The preferred planting site for Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a place that is not prone to waterlogging, can be irrigated, has good ventilation and light transmission, and has deep, loose, fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. At the same time, the light conditions near the planting site should be relatively sufficient.

2. Soil: Zanthoxylum bungeanum is not very demanding on soil pH and grows well in neutral or acidic soil. Try to choose a place for planting Zanthoxylum bungeanum that has deep, loose, fertile, neutral or slightly acidic soil.

3. Water: Zanthoxylum bungeanum prefers a humid growing environment and has a high demand for water during the growth process. Water it frequently to keep the soil moist. However, it should be noted that during heavy rainfall, drainage should be carried out in a timely manner to avoid water accumulation that affects its growth and development.

4. Fertilization: Mainly use nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by biological fertilizer. Pay attention to the dosage when applying fertilizer, and apply small amounts frequently as the basis. Prevent fertilizer damage caused by excessive fertilization, and occasionally use foliar fertilization and micro-fertilizer to meet its nutritional needs for growth.

3. Maintenance Tips

1. Preparation of seedling field: The planting land must be deeply plowed. Allow the deep soil to mature, enhance the soil's permeability, improve its ability to retain fertilizer and water, and create a good growth environment for Zanthoxylum bungeanum seedlings.

2. Loosen the soil and weed: Loosen the soil in time and weed frequently. Maintaining good permeability in the nursery field can reduce water evaporation, reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests, and avoid weeds competing with seedlings for fertilizer.

3. Pests: Because the growing environment of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is relatively warm and humid, the chance of diseases and pests occurring is very high. The most common insect pest is rust, which usually requires spraying pesticides to solve the problem. If the degree of insect infestation is relatively minor, it can be caught manually; if the degree is relatively severe, it can be dealt with centrally by spraying pesticides.
