Rattan pepper cultivation and management techniques involve understanding its unique biological characteristics and implementing effective strategies to maximize growth and yield. Rattan pepper is a shallow-rooted tree species with well-developed lateral roots and numerous fibrous roots. It thrives in diverse soil types including limestone, mountainous terrain, purple soil, yellow soil, and sandy soil, showcasing its anti-drought and ridge-thin properties. The plant exhibits strong budding capabilities, resists trimming well, and maintains longer-lived buds.
During the special period, rattan pepper tends to sprout earlier, usually starting in late February to early March in my region. Germination timing depends on soil conditions and tree vigor. The fruit matures in mid-to-late July to early August in the hilly areas of my county, with a typical maturation cycle of about 130 days.
The characteristics of its buds include significant heterogeneity. Typically, the lower part of terminal buds contains 3-4 buds that are full and ready to sprout into branches. Bud quality decreases progressively from top to bottom, reflected in branch size, length, number of compound leaves and lobules, and fruit grain count. The buds have early maturity, allowing secondary buds to develop under forced conditions. The budding and branching forces are strong, with buds at the shoot tips notably more vigorous than those in the middle and lower sections. Cryptic buds exist in the main trunk and lower parts of major branches, especially the older ones, which can remain dormant for one to several years. When tree vigor wanes, these buds often sprout, aiding in rejuvenation of older trees. Flower bud differentiation occurs post-rapid fruit expansion and pre-fruit ripening, with NPK fertilizers enhancing fruit quality and quantity.
The branches consist of vegetative shoots, fruiting branches, leafy branches, and leggy branches. The apical dominance is strong, with upper branches growing faster than lateral or downward ones. The overall growth is weak, forming a cup-shaped or plexiform structure under natural conditions. New shoots begin growth at about 10°C daily average temperature, experiencing two growth peaks annually.
Flowering habits include mixed buds that result in both leaves and flowers. Self-pollination is possible without the need for pollinator trees. Flower and fruit shedding occurs in two annual peaks, with the first peak occurring a month after flowering, accounting for over 90% of total fruit loss. Fruit growth accelerates rapidly initially, stabilizing in April-May, hardens in color and matures by mid-late July.
Root growth is shallow, with the primary roots dominating seedlings and lateral roots developing later. The main root system resides in the 20-80 cm soil layer, with deeper roots in loose sandy soil and shallower roots in compact soil. Root growth peaks occur before germination, after fruit expansion, and post-harvest.
For cultivation, seed selection and processing are crucial. Seeds should come from high-yielding, pest-free mother trees, harvested when ripe and dried in a ventilated environment. Seed treatments include soaking and disinfection using appropriate agents. Seedlings require well-drained, fertile soil, with optimal sowing times in spring or autumn. Management includes timely irrigation, fertilization, and pest control.
Asexual reproduction via grafting uses wild seedlings as rootstocks, employing methods like bud grafting or cutting. Establishing a rattan garden involves selecting suitable slopes, proper planting density, and intercropping with beneficial crops. Fertilization focuses on balanced NPK applications, while pest control employs integrated approaches including manual removal and chemical treatments.
Pruning is essential, ideally conducted post-harvest and before spring budding. Pruning methods include light and heavy cuts, focusing on removing weak and overlapping branches to enhance light penetration and optimize fruit production. Mature trees benefit from gradual rejuvenation through selective pruning.
Pests and diseases like root rot and dry rot require vigilant monitoring and treatment with appropriate fungicides. Insect pests such as swallow butterflies and locusts are managed through manual intervention and targeted sprays. Overall, a comprehensive approach ensures healthy growth and high yields in rattan pepper cultivation.
