Yellow rhododendron, also known as sheep flower and sheep duck, not only has high ornamental value, but also has certain medicinal value. It can also be used to prepare biological pesticides. ?Wild yellow azaleas grow in Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing, southern Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong and other provinces. In recent years, the number of wild resources has increased sharply due to human poaching and forest fires. At present, the wild yellow rhododendron resources in Suizhou are the most concentrated and easy to collect, which provides valuable source support for our breeding work.
Yellow rhododendron is the only Rhododendron plant with yellow flowers today. The flowers are clustered in hydrangea shape, large and full, and planted in patches, it is spectacular. At present, there are no large-scale units for scenic spots or garden landscaping in the country, mainly due to the shortage of vegetation materials. Relying on wild domestication is far from meeting the market demand. In 2017, after our company realized this problem, we began to invest in the construction of a nationwide The first yellow rhododendron mother base, which focuses on domesticating wild yellow rhododendrons to facilitate seed collection.
Rhododendron is a valuable Chinese medicinal material. It is effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis and bruises. The Chinese patent medicine "Liuwei Muxiang Capsule" contains its active ingredients, although it is poisonous and numb. It is a medicinal material, but it will not have any effect when touched by hands or sniffing. It will cause a certain numbing sensation when touched by the tip of the tongue. There will be certain risks if consumed in large quantities. However, there are two quick first aid methods: 1. Swallow it with egg white to detoxify. ; 2. Soak gardenia in water and swallow it to detoxify. For particularly severe cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
Because it has a strong effect on killing aphids, mites, spider mites and other pests, and as a new biological pesticide preparation, it is easier to degrade than traditional chemical pesticides, so that crops do not produce any pesticide residues , in line with the concept of green ecological agriculture development, is a trend product of the development of the times. In the field of biopesticides, many institutions have begun to develop its formulas in recent years. Related papers and invention patents can be found on authoritative platforms. In particular, biotechnology companies represented by "Shaanxi Jihun Research and Development" have already produced finished products.
Because Rhododendron azalea is widely used and has great potential for development, our company has been aware of this thorny problem as early as 5 years ago, from the initial plant tissue culture technology to the current bacterial environment culture technology. , we overcame technical difficulties step by step, and finally successfully cultivated 200,000 yellow rhododendron seedlings in 2019.
At present, we have mastered the all-factor yellow azalea seedling technology. This technology can also be applied to the rapid breeding of other rare plants. Its cost is more than 10 times lower than tissue culture technology. Next, we will optimize the yellow azalea products, establish the country's largest ground cover seedling production base, formulate industry standards, improve output specifications, and also hope to cooperate with a certain tourist attraction to create a nationally renowned yellow azalea tourism product.
