There are many kinds of honeysuckle, which come from different plants of Lonicera in Caprifoliaceae. When China Pharmacopoeia 1963 first collected honeysuckle, according to the results of herbal textual research and the authenticity of medicinal materials, it was stipulated that there was only one kind of medicinal use of honeysuckle, namely LonicerajaponicaThunb. 1977 version; & gt Due to the interference and influence of specific historical environment, three kinds of plant sources of Lonicera macranthoides and Lonicera macranthoides have been added, resulting in thousands of honeysuckle with only multiple sources, while mainstream commodities and recognized authentic medicinal materials are dried buds of Lonicera japonica. However, according to the research results of chemical constituents, luteolin is the main effective component of Lonicera japonica Thunb. The content of luteolin in other varieties is very small, mainly chlorogenic acid, which is quite different. In order to protect the traditional authentic medicinal materials, the source of honeysuckle was revised in China People's Pharmacopoeia in 2005. It is considered to be the only source of honeysuckle. Other varieties, including the newly added Lonicera macranthoides, were merged into "honeysuckle" and separated from the medicinal name "honeysuckle". Lonicera japonica is very different from Lonicera japonica. It is reasonable and scientific to divide Lonicera japonica into two categories. In the old pharmacopoeia, chlorogenic acid was originally used as the detection object in the identification of honeysuckle and honeysuckle. In fact, honeysuckle and honeysuckle both contain chlorogenic acid, which is of little significance. The Pharmacopoeia of 20 10 makes a stricter distinction between honeysuckle and honeysuckle, and increases the determination of luteolin, Lonicera macranthoides saponin B and Dipsacus saponin B in honeysuckle.
From this point of view, the "honeysuckle" used by the people is not the same as the "honeysuckle" in China Pharmacopoeia. Since the implementation of the Pharmacopoeia in 2005, "honeysuckle" can no longer be called "honeysuckle". If the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine and all kinds of decoction pieces and extracts are named "honeysuckle", there is only honeysuckle. Take Lonicera japonica Thunb. of Caprifoliaceae as raw material. Lonicera macranthoides And honeysuckle. In the future, it will not be named honeysuckle in various health care products, otherwise it will be illegal. At present, it is difficult to find items labeled "honeysuckle" in the domestic market, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, traditional Chinese medicine preparations, decoction pieces, extracts, health products, scented tea, etc. Even if honeysuckle is used as raw material, it will be labeled as honeysuckle, which is an illegal act to deceive consumers. In the international market, the pharmacopoeias of Japan, South Korea, Europe and other countries also use honeysuckle as medicine, and almost no one wants to export honeysuckle. In other words, the current market situation of "honeysuckle" is very pessimistic.
Therefore, before planting honeysuckle, please be sure to find out the difference between "honeysuckle" commonly used by the people and "honeysuckle" in China Pharmacopoeia, and determine what kind of honeysuckle you want to plant.
Miao dealers often claim that their variety "honeysuckle" has been listed in China Pharmacopoeia, but they won't tell you whether it is listed in China Pharmacopoeia as "honeysuckle" or "honeysuckle". If you want to plant genuine honeysuckle, you don't need to pay attention to the content of chlorogenic acid at all, because no matter how you plant it, the content of chlorogenic acid will reach the standard. You only need to ask your seedling supplier to ensure that the luteolin content in honeysuckle can meet the requirements of China Pharmacopoeia in the future.
Second, what is the market prospect of planting honeysuckle?
Honeysuckle, as a valuable bulk Chinese herbal medicine with the same origin of medicine and food, is not only one of 70 kinds of precious Chinese herbal medicines identified by the State Council, but also one of 38 kinds of precious Chinese herbal medicines managed by the state. Its application range is quite extensive. At present, the domestic and international markets are in short supply, which is a good choice for farmers to get rid of poverty and become rich. One third of Chinese medicine prescriptions use honeysuckle. Because of its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, it has become the first choice for the prevention and treatment of SARS, avian influenza, swine flu and hand, foot and mouth disease. The well-known Yinqiao Jiedu Pill, Yinhuang Oral Liquid and Shuanghuanglian are all made of honeysuckle as the main raw material. With the change of people's food structure and the improvement of health care awareness, honeysuckle has been used more and more widely, and has begun to develop from medicine to food, beverage and daily chemical industries. People are familiar with "honeysuckle tea", "honeysuckle throat treasure", "Wang Lao Ji" and "Wahaha Jinhua"
Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and other countries regard honeysuckle as a treasure, and the demand at home and abroad is increasing.
At present, the national demand for honeysuckle is about 20 million kilograms, while the national total output is only about 7 million kilograms. In addition, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and other countries have great demand for honeysuckle, and the market gap is huge. There should be no long-term oversupply, and planting honeysuckle should be a good choice.
It should be noted that "honeysuckle" is not "honeysuckle", but "honeysuckle" calls itself "XX honeysuckle" and "the king of XX honeysuckle". The market prospect of honeysuckle is regarded as the market prospect of "honeysuckle", which is not the case in fact, and growers need to distinguish it by themselves.
Third, how can we grow honeysuckle well?
For planting, it is very important to harvest well and then sell at a good price. Planting traditional crops can be said to be familiar to farmers, and they can plant whatever they want. There is no technical problem, and the harvest is not much different. As for the sales volume, it is relatively stable and basically has no worries. Although a good harvest and good price are equally important for planting honeysuckle, honeysuckle is a Chinese herbal medicine with the same origin of medicine and food, which is different from ordinary crops. Therefore, planting honeysuckle has its particularity, and it will not be as simple as planting traditional crops. How to grow honeysuckle well requires your own experience.
1, how to get a good harvest, although honeysuckle
It has strong adaptability to the environment and is easy to survive, but it is not so simple to get a good harvest. If you are in the producing area of honeysuckle, you can consult the original growers at any time, and there are many successful experiences for reference. It doesn't seem too difficult to get a bumper harvest.
The problem is that many people who want to grow honeysuckle are not in the production area, and may only go to the production area once or twice occasionally. A cursory visit shows that there is no hall at all. Everything is almost on paper, and you may be at a loss when you really encounter problems. Without good technical guidance, is it so easy to get a bumper harvest?
So, if you plan to grow honeysuckle,
Then please choose your seedling supplier carefully. Suppliers who can't provide post-processing services are likely to make your investment go up in smoke.
The following suggestions may contribute to a good harvest:
1) Choosing a good variety is an important guarantee for a good harvest. Don't believe the boasting of seedling dealers. Only by field investigation and communication with growers without special arrangements can we get actual data.
2) Don't easily listen to the blind flicker of the Miao dealer, but be clear about his strength. No matter how good sweet words and promises are, it is impossible to keep them without the strength to guarantee them;
3) Remember to write it clearly in black and white, the survival rate of seedlings is higher than 90%, and technicians come to provide technical services at least three times a year/kloc-0. Technicians should not be theorists with only book knowledge, but big growers with real practical planting experience to come to the door for guidance;
Be sure to remember: "good variety"+"mature technology"+"careful management" = "good harvest"
2. How can I get a good price?
Honeysuckle is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine with homology of medicine and food, which can be eaten (such as honeysuckle).
Tea), and can be used as medicine. Whether it is used for food or medicine, it is faced with processing plants. Under normal circumstances, whether it is a tea factory, an extraction factory or a pharmaceutical factory, it will have its own qualified suppliers. So the door of the processing plant is almost closed to the growers, that is to say, the honeysuckle planted by the growers.
Mainly through middlemen.
Because there are middlemen, growers should not expect to sell at the same price as the retail price of pharmacies. Middlemen, factories and pharmacies all have to make money, so growers should have a clear mind. In the long run, growers should seek a relatively stable price that they think is cost-effective to protect their own interests. Good products can sell at good prices, and stable prices need good sales channels to ensure. Good processing technology and good sales channels are the key to selling a good price.
The following suggestions may help to sell a good price:
1) Under normal circumstances, buyers buy dried honeysuckle, and the non-toxic drying process of honeysuckle requires good technology. Blindly drying or baking, you will only get a bunch of black and humble inferior goods, which can't be sold at all. Therefore, it is very necessary for your seedling supplier to come to the door to guide the processing technology;
2) Let as many people as possible know that you are planting honeysuckle to attract buyers;
3) Signing the minimum guaranteed purchase price with seedling suppliers can effectively guarantee the sales of products and give them more sales options. The contracted purchaser must purchase in cash and dry honeysuckle.
It's too light. If you send it all the way and the price is low, you can only swallow it, because it is not cost-effective to ship it back.
4) Don't worry that you won't have a choice if you sign the insured house purchase contract. No one will know how much honeysuckle you have produced. If you have a better channel and sell most goods without showing your face, buyers can't take you at all. The price of honeysuckle fluctuates. If you fall below the minimum guarantee, you will have a big head to bear. Why not?
Be sure to remember: "good processing technology"+"lowest price guarantee"+"more competitive buyer" = "good price"
3. The labor situation that cannot be ignored
Although only a few people are needed to manage honeysuckle on weekdays, there is no way to change the problems of low yield, short flowering period and difficult picking of honeysuckle. Under normal circumstances, the yield per mu of honeysuckle hardly exceeds 100 kg of dried flowers, and the average person picks about 20 kg of flowers every day. Buds that are too late to pick will soon open, leading to a decline in quality. Honeysuckle/kloc-0 blooms 3-4 times a year, of which 1 batch has a flowering period of about 20 days, and the output accounts for about 70% of the annual output. In order to ensure that the buds that have grown can be picked in time, especially 1 batch of flowers, more than 4 people are needed per mu every day during the peak period. It is precisely because of this characteristic of honeysuckle that the demand for labor during the flower picking period is extremely huge. It is precisely because of this characteristic of honeysuckle that it shows the preciousness of honeysuckle and leads to the shortage of honeysuckle.
Therefore, planting honeysuckle
Before, we need to have a clear understanding of the labor force. The number of local available labor force and the number of foreign available labor force directly determine the suitable planting scale of local honeysuckle. If you can't find enough labor to pick flowers during the flower picking period, you will have to cry at the blooming honeysuckle.
It should be noted that some people may ask: "The honeysuckle I planted does not bloom, and the bud will not open for half a month. One person can pick 100 Jin of flowers a day, and there is plenty of time. How can there be labor problems? " In fact, this is to say "honeysuckle" as "honeysuckle". The name honeysuckle comes from Compendium of Materia Medica. Because honeysuckle turns white first and then yellow, it is named honeysuckle.
. At present, there is no non-flowering honeysuckle at home and abroad, and the non-flowering honeysuckle is actually the "honeysuckle flower" in the Pharmacopoeia.
If you plan to grow real honeysuckle, the situation of labor force must not be ignored. Honeysuckle can be picked with scissors to speed up the picking, but there is no other way but to pick it by hand. No matter how good your technology is, how high your output can be. Without labor to pick it in time, you can only watch it go to waste.
To sum up, although the income of planting honeysuckle can easily exceed 10 thousand per mu, the benefit is still quite good, and it can benefit for decades at a time. It's a good project, but you can't plant it blindly. Correct selection of varieties, acquisition of mature technology, adequate after-sales guarantee and careful cultivation can lead to success step by step.
