First, Daejeon live broadcast

1. Seed treatment

Soak the seeds of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi for half a day in warm water of 45 degrees or in tap water for one day, remove them to dry, keep them moisturized and germinate at about 20 degrees Celsius, and sow the seeds when they sprout, which can improve the germination rate.

2. Sowing time

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi generally chooses spring sowing or autumn sowing, spring sowing from March to April, autumn sowing from September to October, low temperature sowing at about 15 degrees is the easiest to survive, sowing methods are sowing, on demand, strip sowing, sowing depth should be shallow rather than deep.

3. Sowing method

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi sowed with about 1 jin of seeds per mu, should not sow too much, too much will lead to insufficient nutrients and poor growth of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. After sowing, the seeds will be covered with fine wet soil, and at the same time, the ground should be suppressed and covered at the right time, and the soil should be watered properly to keep the soil moist.

2. Seedling raising and transplanting

1. Nursery bed selection

When raising seedlings, Scutellaria baicalensis should choose warm, sunny places to do seedbeds, sunny beds or hotbeds can be 1 meter wide, the length is determined according to the amount of sowing, nursery bed selection is the basis of planting.

2. Sowing method

When raising seedlings of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, we should apply sufficient basic fertilizer, apply 5000 kg of rotten manure or compost per mu, flatten the border surface, pour proper amount of water, spread the germinated seeds with wet sand evenly in the first and middle of April, cover with 1 cm thin soil to keep warm and moisturize, and wait for germination.

3. Seedling stage management

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi seedlings should pay attention to ventilation, remove the film when the seedlings grow a little, pull grass and seedlings in time, plant in the field according to the row spacing of about 40 cm and the density of 25-30 plants per meter when the seedlings are 5-7 cm high, and water them in time after planting.

III. Field management

1. Ploughing and weeding

After seedling emergence, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi should loosen soil and weed for three or four times in the field, and weed growth in the hindsight should be 1-2 times. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi grows fast and requires large nutrients, which will lead to poor growth of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi if weeding is not done in time.

2. Replenish seedlings with inter-seedlings

After the seedlings of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, the seedlings were thinned in time to prevent the plants from growing with strong and multi-nutrients, and the seedlings were staggered according to the plant spacing of 8 cm, and the missing parts were transplanted and watered in time, which was beneficial to the survival of the plants.

3. topdressing at the right time

During the growth of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, topdressing should be applied 1-2 times a year, and the effect of compound fertilizer is the best. Soil topdressing was carried out in the first year after seedling setting, the second year and then before returning green to ridge sealing, and whether to continue topdressing was decided according to plant growth.

4. Irrigation and drainage

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi should keep the soil moist from sowing to seedling emergence, so attention should be paid to watering during sowing and planting to ensure the water requirements of plant growth, and then there should be no watering in case of special drought, and more attention should be paid to timely drainage and waterlogging prevention in the rainy season.

5. Pruning flower branches

In order to increase the yield of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, the flower branches should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption and promote root growth, so that the yield of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi can be directly increased and the flower branches should be pruned before flowering.
