Planting method and time of agarwood 1
Generally speaking, Aquilaria sinensis is suitable for planting in spring, and the most suitable time is from March to April. At this time, the temperature is gradually warming up, which is more conducive to plant growth, especially in rainy days, which can improve the survival rate. If it is a bagged seedling, the requirement for planting time is not high.
2. dig a hole and plant it
Before planting the seedlings of Aquilaria sinensis, dig out the planting pit. The length and width of the pit should be 50 cm and the depth should be about 40 cm. Then, put the seedlings in the into the pit, keep them upright, backfill the topsoil layer by layer to ensure that the roots are in full contact with the soil, and finally thoroughly water the roots.
3. Water and fertilizer management
Aquilaria sinensis has a high demand for water and fertilizer. During the growing period, water should be poured every time to ensure that the roots are completely soaked. At the same time, water should be sprayed around to increase air humidity, and compound fertilizer should be applied to plants 3-4 times a year. Pay attention to stay away from the root 10 cm when applying fertilizer.
4. Artificial incense
For the agarwood planted for more than 8- 10 years, artificial incense can be used to improve the incense rate. Several cuts were made at 1.5-2m, 30-40cm away from the ground, and the wound depth was about 3-4cm. In the later stage, the xylem near the wound will secrete resin, and after a few years, it will produce agarwood.
