Yield and income of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz per mu cultivation techniques of Atractylodes macrocephala

White atractylodes rhizome is a kind of medicinal material, which is cultivated in many places in our country at present. The efficacy of white atractylodes rhizome is very strong, and it is very popular in the market, so many people want to grow it. So can planting atractylodes really bring high economic benefits? How do you plant them to achieve high yields?

Yield per mu and income of atractylodes macrocephala

Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine with high economic value and medicinal value. Its dosage is large and its planting is extensive. In recent years, white atractylodes has developed rapidly. Because of its high planting income and low cost, the total cost is about 3500 yuan, while the yield of white atractylodes can reach 300-400 kg per mu. According to the current market price of 30 yuan/kg, the income per mu is about 9000-12000 yuan, and the profit is about 5500-8500 yuan.

Cultivation techniques of atractylodes macrocephala

1. Soil preparation and fertilization. Largehead atractylodes seedlings should choose medium fertility, good drainage, ventilation cool slightly acidic sandy loam, mu fertilizer 2000 kg, deep tillage, rake smooth fine, for 1.2 meters wide bed. The field should select fertile, ventilated, cool and well-drained sandy loam that has not been planted with atractylodes rhizome for 5 years. It is better to use gramineous crops as the first crop. After harvesting, apply 3000 kg farm manure per mu, 50 kg calcium superphosphate as base fertilizer, and turn 20 cm deep to make 1~1.5 m beds.

2. Seedling: From late March to early April, select new seeds with full seeds and no diseases and insect pests, soak them in warm water at 30℃ for 1 day, and then remove them for germination and sowing. 5~ 7kg seeds per mu are used for drilling or sowing, seedlings emerge 7~10 days after sowing, cover grass is removed after emergence, field management is strengthened, and 400~ 600kg fresh seeds can be cultivated per mu before transplanting in winter.

3. Transplanting: It can be transplanted from winter to spring of the following year. It is better not to take leaves and bloom in that year, the main buds are strong, the rhizomes are small and tidy, and the apricot stones are large. When transplanting, cut off fibrous roots, open trenches with a depth of 10 cm according to row spacing of 25 cm, put seedlings into trenches according to plant spacing of about 15 cm, with tooth tips facing upward and level with the ground, slightly suppress both sides, water after planting, and 50~60 kg of fresh atractylodes macrocephala per mu.

Field management techniques for high yield of atractylodes macrocephala

1. Topdressing: apply enough base fertilizer to decompose manure or compost. 11250 kg of human excrement and 375~525 kg of calcium superphosphate are used as base fertilizer per hectare. In early May, the seedlings basically came out, and thin human excrement was applied once, 7500 kg per hectare. Before and after the fruiting stage, the fertility of atractylodes macrocephala was the strongest, the growth and development was the fastest, and the underground rhizome expanded the most rapidly. Generally, 15000 kg of human excrement and 450 kg of calcium superphosphate were applied per hectare in the full flowering stage.

2. Intertillage weeding: shallow loosening, in principle, no weeds in the field, shallow loosening before seedling emergence, weeding when seedling height is 3~6 cm, soil is not hardened, weeding cannot be done when dew is not dry after rain, otherwise it is easy to infect iron leaf disease. From late July to late September, it is the time for root growth, and pulling grass once or twice a month.

3, irrigation drainage: white atractylodes avoid high temperature and humidity, must pay attention to the drainage work. If drainage is not smooth, it will hinder the growth of the plant and easily lead to diseases. Field ponding is easy to die seedlings, pay attention to digging ditches, trenching, timely drainage after rain. In late August, the rhizome expands obviously and needs certain water. If it is dry for a long time, it needs appropriate watering to keep the field moist, otherwise it will affect the yield.

Cultivation prospect of atractylodes rhizome

1. White atractylodes rhizome is a commonly used and important bulk Chinese medicinal material, which has the functions of tonifying spleen and strengthening stomach, drying dampness and promoting water, stopping sweating and preventing pregnancy. Modern research shows that atractylodes rhizome contains volatile oil, the main components of oil are atractylodes ketone, atractylodes alcohol, atractylodes lactone, etc., which has certain curative effect on treating ascites due to liver cirrhosis, primary liver cancer, meniere's syndrome, chronic lumbago, acute enteritis and leukopenia. White atractylodes rhizome has a wide range of uses, in addition to medical prescription drugs, but also is an important raw material for more than 40 kinds of Chinese patent medicine preparations.

2, growers to fine scientific management to yield, in order to obtain the maximum economic benefits. According to the author's understanding, due to the great difference in planting experience and management level in various places, the yield of improved atractylodes macrocephala per mu is between 300-500 kg, and the yield difference per mu is still quite large. Therefore, in the same production cycle, some growers can obtain ideal yield and income because of their technology in place, high management level and high yield of atractylodes macrocephala.

If the planting is good, the yield per mu of atractylodes macrocephala will still be very good, and the economic benefits will also be very high. However, it is necessary to master its high-yield cultivation techniques, and not everyone can make money planting it. Therefore, people who want to plant must first make a good budget and analysis, not too blind.
