1、 Planting method

1. Land selection: when planting, we should choose the cultivation land with good air permeability, and we have not cultivated peony. The annual precipitation should be less than 400 mm, the soil should be alkaline, and the pH value should be between 7.5 and 8.2

2. Land preparation: according to the terrain, it is trimmed into a water platform or reverse slope terrace. The width of the horizontal platform is more than 1m, and the reverse slope terrace is between 1.5 and 3M. In addition, base fertilizer should be applied. 150 to 200 kilograms of cake fertilizer should be used per mu. After sowing, the soil should be turned over and leveled

3. Planting: it can be planted every spring or autumn. When planting, the row spacing and plant spacing are one meter, about 650 plants per mu. When planting, first dig a hole with a diameter and depth of 40 cm in the soil, then put the seedlings in the middle, cover the soil with a depth of 20 cm, carefully lift the seedlings and let the roots spread out, then step on it, and then cover the soil until it is flush with the ground

4. Maintenance: after planting, water it thoroughly. Often loosen the soil and weed in the later stage. We should also pay attention to fertilizing once every autumn and pruning twice. Once, we should cut off the dry branches and sprouting buds at the root in spring, and cut off the bare branches and dead branches at the top before winter

2、 Prospects

The harvest of oil peony is very considerable. It can seed about 400 kg per mu and earn about 8000 yuan, which is thousands of yuan more than planting soybeans, wheat or corn. Moreover, the current policy supports planting, and the prospect is very good
