八角是文山州土特产品中的大宗产品,每年都有上百万千克商品外销省内外,产值上千万元;部分山村的八角收入占总值的50—70％。故八角被称为山区人民的“摇钱树”。但是,要使“摇钱树”早日开花结果和提高产量,关键还在管护。近年来,我们在八角生产中对新、老林的管护与产量的关系作了些调查和试验研究,很多事实和数据表明:幼林的生长结果和老林产量的多少,除与品种有关外,还与土地条件和经营管理水平的差异而不同。如西畴县兴街区兴隆乡牛山寨郑安学1982年育苗、1984年定植的850多株八角 Star anise is a large product of Wenshan Prefecture’s native products. Every year millions of kilograms of goods are exported both inside and outside the province, with an output value of over 10 million yuan. Some parts of the village make up 50-70% of their total value. Therefore, the star anise is called the “cash cow” of the mountain people. However, the key is still to make “cash cow” flowering results and increase production sooner. In recent years, we conducted some surveys and experimental studies on the relationship between the management and protection of new and old forests and yield in the production of star anise. Many facts and figures show that the growth results of young forests and the amount of output of forests are not only related to cultivars, And land conditions and management differences in the level of different. Such as Xichou Xing Block Xinglong Township Niu Shanzheng Zheng school nursery in 1982, planting more than 850 strains of Octagonal 1984
