Analysis of maple incense propagation technology and its economic value
1 Introduction to the main distribution of maple incense in china
Maple incense is mainly distributed in the area south of the Yellow River in China, in addition, the distribution of Anhui and other places is also relatively widespread. The maple tree itself is relatively tall, with a height of up to 40 m and a diameter of up to 2 m. Not only that, but the 800-year lifespan is also an important feature of the maple tree that is different from other tree species, so this tree is called "Millennium Pavilion Maple". Of all the tree species that grow, maple trees that are partially pure forests are mostly excellent tree species. Maple trees have a strong germination ability, have a well-developed root system, are not only drought tolerant, but also shade tolerant, and have strong adaptability under natural conditions. It can grow normally even in places such as rock crevices or ridges. Maple trees that grow in low- and middle-lying areas grow faster than the average maple tree.
2 Analysis of maple incense cultivation technology
2.1 Maple seed seedling technology
Seed seedling technology generally includes seed collection, screening, ventilation and drying. The seed collection time is generally selected in late October, by collecting ripe cones, leaving these cones for 3 days, then exposing them to the sun for 5 days, then knocking and turning to remove impurities, and finally placing the selected seeds in a cool, dry place for ventilation. The sowing time is selected in early March, and the 1 kg seed is sown 300 m2, and the strip sowing is halved. The planting of seeds also has certain requirements for the soil, generally need to be sown in neutral slightly acidic soil, increase the fertility of the soil by deep turning the soil, after sowing, sift on the bed cover 10cm of yellow heart soil, and do soil compaction treatment, after the treatment of the seeds can be sown.
2.2 Maple strip seedling technology
The spikes at the time of cutting usually choose the truncated tapered primary root segment in the afforestation seedling or the remaining stems of the seedlings left over from the afforestation. The specifications of the cuttings also have certain restrictions, the length of the cuttings is generally 8cm, the thickness is 1 to 2cm, the length of the stem can be maintained at 13cm, the shape of the stem also needs to be cut into a horse ear shape, which is convenient to maintain the nutrients of the stem, and the time of planting is generally selected in late February.
3 The main application of maple incense and its economic value analysis
3.1 The main application of maple incense
3.1.1 Landscape forest tree species. Maple incense is a subtropical deciduous tree species that can be planted in large areas in low mountain scenic areas, creating a colorful landscape on a large scale. Or it can be mixed with evergreen conifer species such as Masson Pine and Huashan Pine, and in late autumn, it is like a thousand red clouds dotted in the green pine forest, forming a colorful landscape.
3.1.2 Greening tree species in factory and mining areas. Because maple incense has strong fire resistance and resistance to toxic gases, it can be used for greening of factory and mining areas. The main root of maple incense is thick and long, both wind-resistant and drought-resistant, not afraid of short-term flooding, high germination rate, and strong resistance to toxic gases such as SO2 and Cl2. Maple incense can be used as a greening isolation belt and a plant environmental greening tree species, playing a dual role of ecological environmental protection and beautification and ornamentation.
3.1.3 Road greening tree species. The maple trunk is tall and straight, the canopy is very wide, majestic, bright leaves, strong adaptability to the environment, can be used as a green tree species for urban trunk roads. At present, maple incense is the main tree species on both sides of the highway, and in late autumn, it is like a colorful ribbon, which adds to the icing on the cake of the city, which is very spectacular.
3.1.4 As a timber tree species for bonsai. Maple incense is not only a beautiful foliage tree species, but also a good bonsai material, its trunk due to fracture or injury will naturally form an eye-like scar, appearing the whole tree simple and elegant. The main root and side roots of maple incense are very developed, can be made into a hanging root dew claw bonsai, through the artificial cultivation of the day after tomorrow, you can control the leaves of the pot in 3 ~ 4cm, and the survival rate of the maple pile head is high, the leaf color is bright, is the best choice for making bonsai.
3.1.5 Park greening tree species. In the greening of urban parks, maple incense can be planted on the waterfront with Yingchun, Tangtang, Lotus, etc., to enrich the waterfront scenery, and can also be planted with yellow leaf trees such as Wushaozi and Ginkgo biloba to form a bush, which is arranged on the hillside, grass or dotted on both sides of the pavilion. If you plant maple incense on the hillside and poolside of the park, the lower layer is planted with evergreen trees, and the maple tree species are planted in between, and in the autumn, the scenery is very spectacular.
3.2 Economic Value Analysis
Maple incense has a very high economic value, and it is full of treasures. The trunk is plump and straight, the color is bright, the texture is tight, it has a very high corrosion resistance and pressure resistance, and it is a good building material. Maple incense board has no unpleasant odor, can be insect-proof, and is also an ideal packaging material for tea, poria and other foods. Maple incense through the water, cellar drying, steaming, is also the best material for the manufacture of plywood, if it is glued with masson pine, has the three advantages of no warping, no cracking, no curvature.
