Basic Introduction of Ningling White Wax Rod

The body of Ningling White Wax Rod is as white as jade, hard but not hard, and soft but not folded. The rod can be bent to 180 degrees without splitting, with strong flexibility and dense fiber density. It has strong natural tension and does not split in dry places or deform in humid places. Its elasticity and toughness are incomparable to other woods, making it an ideal natural raw material for processing martial arts equipment and various tools. It is highly favored by martial arts enthusiasts at home and abroad

The production method of Ningling white wax pole

(1) Sowing and seedling cultivation

Spring sowing is suitable for early sowing, generally from late February to early March. Ditch broadcasting every 667 meters? The planting amount should be 3-4 kg, with a depth of 4 cm, and the depth should be uniform. The trench should be dug, the seeds should be sown, and the soil should be covered with a thickness of 2-3 cm. To make the soil closely adhere, compaction is carried out after covering the soil

(2) Planting and seedling cultivation

In late March to early April of spring, meticulous soil preparation and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before planting to make the soil loose and have sufficient moisture. Select one year old sprouting branches from a robust young mother tree that grows rapidly and is free from pests and diseases. The branches should generally have a thickness of 1 cm or more and a length of 15-20 cm. The upper cut should be flat and the lower cut should be ear shaped. Insert 2-3 cuttings into each hole to disperse the cuttings, with a row spacing of 40 cm and a plant spacing of 20 cm. Spring cuttings should be buried deep, compacted, and less exposed, every 667 meters? Insert 4000 plants

Nurturing and Management of Seedlings

Strengthening the nurturing and management of seedlings during their growth process is the key to cultivating strong seedlings

(1) Irrigation and drainage

Reasonably determine the irrigation time and quantity according to the different stages of seedling growth. During the germination period of seeds, the bed surface should be kept moist regularly, and irrigation should be done in small amounts multiple times; After the seedlings are fully grown, the cotyledons are fully unfolded and enter the vigorous growth period. The irrigation amount should be more and the frequency should be less. Irrigation should be done every 2-3 days, and each time it should be thoroughly watered. Irrigation should be carried out in the morning and evening. Timely drainage is necessary during rainy autumn seasons

(2) Loosening and weeding

In accordance with the principle of "early removal, small removal, and removal", weeds should be removed in a timely manner. Weeding is best carried out after rain or irrigation. When seedlings enter the peak growth period, soil loosening should be carried out, with shallow soil in the initial stage and slightly deeper soil in the later stage, so as not to damage the root system of the seedlings. During the hardening period of seedlings, in order to promote lignification, soil loosening and weeding should be stopped

(3) Topdressing

Base fertilizer should be the main fertilizer for seedling fertilization, but its nutrition may not necessarily meet the needs of seedling growth. In order to promote rapid and robust growth of seedlings, chemical fertilizers should be applied to supplement during the vigorous growth period. During the seedling stage, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied. During the rapid growth stage of seedlings, nitrogen fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, or a combination of several fertilizers should be applied. In the later stage of growth, nitrogen fertilizer should be stopped and potassium fertilizer should be applied more. Topdressing should mainly be quick acting fertilizers (such as urea, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and superphosphate), applied in small amounts multiple times

(4) Interplanting

In order to adjust the density of seedlings, it is necessary to perform thinning and supplementation. The nursery for white wax seed cultivation usually involves two rounds of thinning. The first round is carried out when the seedlings have grown two pairs of true leaves, and the second round is carried out when the leaves of the seedlings overlap with each other. The seedlings should be selected from the best and eliminated from the worst, removing those with poor development, pests and diseases, mechanical damage, and overly dense seedlings. It is best to prune when the soil is moist after rain

(5) Prevention and Control of Diseases and Pests

In the prevention and control of diseases and pests in white wax seedlings, efforts should be made from winter plowing, soil disinfection, selection of high-quality seeds, seed disinfection, rational fertilization, timely early sowing, and management to prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests. The main disease of white wax is coal pollution, and the main pests are leaf rollers and longhorn beetles. The former harms tender leaves, while the latter feeds on branches. Discovering pests and diseases and eliminating them early

Building a big gun: A large gun barrel is usually made of white wax in the north. A good gun barrel should be cultivated by a dedicated person from a young sapling, paying attention to sunlight/moisture. The growing lateral buds should be gently knocked to death with a small wooden hammer so that the barrel can be smooth and straight. It usually takes 2-3 years to mature, and the success rate is generally 5% -10% And also consider the height and strength of the user Therefore, it is very troublesome to cultivate a handy large gun barrel In the south, rattan sticks are generally used, and it is very rare for them to be straight and smooth over 2 meters. I am not very familiar with this aspect The spear tassels should use "Xiniuwei" - not rhinoceros, but "Xizang yak tail", or "Xiniuwei" for short
