Pueraria lobata is a famous traditional Chinese medicine, and it has existed in our country for a long time. The edible price of Pueraria lobata is very high, so it is deeply liked by consumers. So now a lot of people want to plant Pueraria lobata. But before planting, everyone must want to have a comprehensive understanding of the place and time of planting.

Where is kudzu root suitable for growth?

1. Pueraria lobata is a leguminous plant, which is currently distributed in many places in China. Except for cold places such as Xinjiang and Xizang, this plant can be found in most other places in China. The more common places are Sichuan, Liaoning, Hebei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi and other places, so there are still a lot of producing areas.

2. Kudzu likes to grow in wet places, and most people usually dig kudzu in autumn and winter, and there is no great difficulty in the process of harvesting, and the production is relatively large, so the price of kudzu is relatively cheap. there are a lot of kudzu on the market.

When will Pueraria root be planted?

1. When planting Pueraria lobata, the choice of time is very important. When planting, avoid frost as far as possible, so as not to cause damage to seedlings caused by low temperature, resulting in slow growth or even death of kudzu seedlings. Under the premise of avoiding frost, kudzu root will have a higher yield if it is planted earlier.

2. Generally in South China, the end of the late frost is usually around the middle and late March of each year, so the best time to plant kudzu seedlings is from the Spring Equinox to Qingming Festival, and in some warm areas such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan in early spring. you can choose to plant around February at the earliest.

3. In the area north of the Yangtze River in China, the temperature in early spring is relatively low, and the late frost is usually about 15 days to a month later than that in South China, so it is not appropriate to plant Pueraria lobata prematurely in case of "late spring cold". Therefore, the best time to plant Pueraria lobata is between Qingming Festival and Grain Rain (mid-late April).

Planting method of Pueraria lobata

1. Choose the right place: when planting kudzu, it is best to choose sandy soil for planting, and drainage also needs to be done.

2. Before planting, the seedlings need to do a good job of soil preparation and fertilization. Soil preparation begins in mid-late February, first removing shrubs, weeds and stones from the planting field, and then making a bed 1-2 meters wide according to soil drainage, and then digging planting holes on the border, each 40-50 cm long, wide and deep, and the distance between the two holes is 1-1.2 meters. 400-600 holes per mu. Apply organic fertilizer (farm manure) in the hole, according to more than 1000 kilograms per mu, mix well with the soil, and backfill into the hole to make a gedun 30 cm high above the ground, which will be more conducive to its growth.

3. Timely planting, and the best planting period is from mid-late March to early April (the temperature at noon is not less than 10 ℃). The seedlings (with roots) or seedlings (with 2 stem nodes, without roots) are planted into the soil at an angle of 30 degrees from the ground to the ground. Note that the growing point at the stem node of the seedling must be exposed to the soil surface; the two stem nodes of the seedling must be one in the soil and the other outside the soil. After planting, the soil will be compacted, compacted, and poured enough water to fix the root. According to the weather, often moist the soil, if the weather is dry, it is best to cover with a layer of heat preservation, moisturizing and other straw, which can prevent freezing and ensure its rapid growth.

4. After planting, the management work needs to be strengthened. Brother seedlings should be inspected after planting, and dead seedlings should be replanted in time. When the seedling grows to 25 cm long, urea or human and animal manure are applied to promote the seedling, and the amount of topdressing 1-2 times according to the growth trend should also be paid attention to, not too much or too little.

Kudzu likes to grow in warm and humid places, but dry and cold places are not conducive to its growth. When planting kudzu root, we must do a good job of site selection, and then plant it at the right time. After planting, we still need to strengthen the management, so as to ensure its growth.
