Basic introduction of Dingtan Sichuan pepper

Dingtan Sichuan pepper is a specialty of Zhenfeng County, Guizhou Province. On December 24, 2008, the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine approved the implementation of geographical indication product protection for "Dingtan Sichuan pepper". Dingtan Sichuan pepper is a highly efficient economic plant species unique to Dingtan and its surrounding geographical and climatic areas in Beipanjiang Town, Zhenfeng County, southwestern Guizhou Province. It has long grown in a special climate environment with strange rocks, strong heat radiation, and drought and little soil. It is famous for its main production in the Dingtan area of Beipanjiang Town, Zhenfeng County, Guizhou Province, and for creating the "Dingtan model" of coordinated development between karst rocky desertification control and rural economic construction. This variety has uniform particles and its aromatic oil content is nearly 10 times that of Sichuan red pepper. Its vitamin E content is nearly 4 times that of Sichuan red pepper, and its vitamin C content is slightly lower than that of Sichuan red pepper. It is rich in oil, has a fragrant and numbing taste, and has excellent quality. It is known as the "number one hemp in Guizhou" and has long been sold in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places in China

Dingtan Sichuan pepper is particularly suitable for the natural climate environment of Guizhou's karst dry hot valley area. Generally, planting is promoted in areas with an altitude below 1000 meters, an annual average temperature of 17-20 ℃, an annual rainfall of 800-1300 millimeters, an annual extreme minimum temperature of 2 ℃ or above, an annual sunshine of over 1600 hours, and no or little frost. The cultivation quality is poor in areas with an annual rainfall of less than 600 millimeters or more than 1500 millimeters. Due to the narrow distribution range of the root system of Zanthoxylum bungeanum in the top jar, it enters the soil shallowly, mostly within the 60-80 cm soil layer. When the soil layer is deep, the root system is strong, the aboveground growth is robust, the yield of pepper fruits is high, and the quality is good; The soil layer is shallow and the root distribution is shallow, making it difficult to tolerate severe drought. The root system of Sichuan pepper has poor water resistance, and excessive soil moisture can seriously affect the growth and fruiting of Sichuan pepper. So the plantation should be chosen on the sunny or semi sunny slopes in the middle and lower parts of the slope
