The World Health Organization announced that selenium is closely related to the occurrence of cancer. During the period of 1986, experts from China Academy of Medical Sciences conducted three studies on nutritional selenium supplementation in the high incidence area of liver cancer in Qidong City, Jiangsu Province. After eight years of observation, it was found that the incidence of liver cancer in selenium group was 49% lower than that in control group. Selenium can be divided into organic selenium and inorganic selenium. Excessive use of inorganic selenium will produce adverse reactions, and the antagonism between organic selenium and other drugs is very small. Taking it is the safest and most effective. "Eggplant, melon, ginseng fruit" and selenium contained in garlic, sesame, asparagus and fungi.

Key points of ginseng fruit cultivation

Ginseng fruit belongs to Solanaceae. The shape of ginseng fruit is mostly heart-shaped and oval. When ripe, the peel is golden yellow, some with purple stripes, the fragrance is elegant, the flesh is tender and juicy, and the flavor is unique. Besides high protein, low sugar and low fat, it is also rich in vitamin C and a variety of essential trace elements, especially selenium and calcium, which are far higher than other fruits and vegetables. Therefore, ginseng fruit has the functions of anti-cancer, anti-aging, lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, diminishing inflammation, supplementing calcium and beautifying. It can also be processed into fruit juice, beverage, oral liquid, canned food and other products, which has great development value.

Ginseng fruit is suitable for field cultivation in south subtropical region or protected cultivation in middle subtropical region. The suitable temperature for the growth of ginseng fruit is 25℃, which can tolerate the low temperature of 3~5℃ and freeze to death below 0℃. It can blossom and bear fruit continuously at 15~30℃, with long continuous fruiting time and high fruit setting rate, and the yield per mu can reach 2000~3000 kg. In recent years, the introduction of cultivation in our city has achieved success. Its cultivation points

1. Soil preparation, fertilization and field planting. Choose neutral soil with convenient irrigation, ventilation and light transmission, and loose and fertile soil for planting. Ginseng fruit is a perennial vegetation, with sufficient fertilizer, farmyard manure of 4000-5000 kg and ternary compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium of 50-70 kg per mu, row spacing of 40-70 cm, and deep ploughing of 20-30 cm. Then the land should be leveled and made into a strip border with a width of 70 cm, and the border surface is 65438+ higher than the ground. Select strong seedlings with height of about 15cm, many branches, thick branches, lush leaves and no pests and diseases, and plant them in the shape of 50cm× 50cm. It is generally advisable to plant it tonight, with 2000~3000 plants per mu. After planting, water your feet.

Second, fertilizer and water management. In addition to applying base fertilizer, topdressing should be done twice: topdressing once when the seedlings grow to about 30 cm; Another time, when the fruit seedlings were close to flowering, 3 kilograms of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer were applied per mu and poured at a distance of 10 cm from the main roots of the seedlings. Boron fertilizer or trace elements such as Su Baofeng No.2 should be properly applied during flowering and fruiting. A small amount of NPK compound fertilizer should be applied frequently, and attention should be paid to intertillage weeding. Generally, apply fertilizer once every 10 day, and apply more potassium fertilizer after flowering. March-June, September-165438+1October are the periods when ginseng fruit needs the most water for growth, flowering and fruiting, so water it in time.

Third, pruning. Ginseng fruit has strong germination ability, so it should be pruned and raked in time. From the part above 15~20 cm, select 3~5 robust and evenly distributed branches as the main branches, and cut off the rest. Leave 2~3 inflorescences on each side branch, 2~3 fruits on each inflorescence, and all the other inflorescences and small fruits are thinned out. Only 30 fruits can be produced per plant at most. Because the stems of ginseng fruit are soft, it is necessary to build a frame with bamboo poles or plastic ropes at the beginning of mushroom production to prevent lodging.

Fourth, pest control. The main diseases of ginseng fruit are late blight and botrytis cinerea. Each mu can be mixed with chlorothalonil 1 10 ~ 150g water 400~800 times, botrytis cinerea 600~800 times, carbendazim and thiophanate methyl 1000 times. The main pests are aphids and red spiders, which can be used alternately with 1500 times triclosan, 1500 times pyridazinone and metsulfuron. It should be noted that ginseng fruit is very sensitive to omethoate or dichlorvos and should be banned.

Fifth, timely harvest. When the fruit has clear purple stripes on its appearance, or when the fruit has no stripes but the skin is bright and smooth, it can be harvested. If it needs to be stored, it can be harvested at the seventh and eighth maturity. The storage period is 40~60 days at room temperature, and it can be listed in the off-season from New Year's Day to Spring Festival.

In the 24th time of The Journey to the West, Wu Cheng'en in Ming Dynasty, there was a ginseng fruit in Wuzhuangguan of Wanshou Mountain, also known as Caoguidan. "It takes three thousand years to blossom, three thousand years to bear fruit, one thousand years to ripen and ten thousand years to eat. Like this 10,000 years, only 30 fruits have been produced. The appearance of the fruits is similar to that of children under three dynasties, with all limbs and salty facial features. If a person has a chance to smell the fruit, he will live to be 360 years old. You can live for 47 thousand years by eating one. " Pig, the Monkey King and others stole it and ate it. The story of a different story says: "The country of big food is in the West Sea. There is a stone with many trees on it, which is dry and red in Julia's place. There are always children on the branches, six or seven inches long. Everyone laughed, moved their hands and feet, and put their heads on the branches. You pick one and the child dies. " The theory of ginseng fruit is directly based on this. In Eleven Poems of Tang Sanzang's Learning from the Scriptures into the Queen Mother's Pool, it has been recorded that the flat peach of the Queen Mother entered the pool and turned into a child, and later turned into a milk jujube, and the Monkey took the food of the mage. "After returning to the Tang Dynasty, (the mage) vomited in Xichuan, and it is also a fact that ginseng was born here." It is also known that the concept of five villages in Journey to the West has long been handed down.
