The latest course of planting techniques and methods of Scutellaria baicalensis

Baikal skullcap root is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine plant of Labiatae family, which has a very wide distribution range in China. Its main medicinal part is the rhizome of its plant. Radix scutellariae has various effects such as lowering blood pressure, diminishing inflammation, diuretic and gallbladder. The main cultivation area is concentrated in the northern part of our country. So now if you want to grow scutellaria baicalensis how to do it? The following small series brings you the planting technology of scutellaria baicalensis. Let's take a look together!

1, planting environment

Baikal suitable for growth in a cool environment, in the process of planting its temperature should be controlled at about 15 degrees. To ensure that there is a certain amount of light, its soil irrigation capacity should be strong. Although scutellaria baicalensis has strong adaptability to soil, in order to ensure the yield and quality of scutellaria baicalensis. When choosing soil, it is appropriate to have deep soil layer, sufficient fertility, no pests and diseases, etc. After selecting the land, it is necessary to prepare the soil, finely rake it, and then apply sufficient decomposed farm manure as base fertilizer. Suitable soil environment can enhance the growth ability of scutellaria baicalensis and improve its yield.

2. Reproductive methods

The propagation method of scutellaria baicalensis is mainly seeding propagation. Before sowing, germination of seeds should be carried out to improve the germination rate of seeds. First, soak the seeds in warm water at about 50 degrees Celsius for 14-18 hours. Then take it out to dry, and then wrap it with wet cloth and put it in an environment of about 22 degrees for germination. When about 70% of the seeds are white, they can be sown. Water the soil thoroughly before sowing and sow around Qingming Festival. Sowing method to dibble mainly, pay attention to the depth of sowing, not too deep too shallow. After sowing, cover with a layer of fine soil and water the soil until the seeds emerge.

3. Field management

When scutellaria seedlings grow to about 6 cm, do a good job of thinning seedlings and providing sufficient growth space for each healthy seedling. In addition, suppression should be carried out in sunny weather, about three times in half a month to promote seedling squatting. In the planting year, at least 3 times more than, and then from the second year of planting, about 2 times a year. Then do a good job of fertilization, topdressing compound fertilizer every spring, and topdressing at least twice a year. According to the growth of scutellaria baicalensis and soil fertility control the type and amount of fertilizer. Finally, for the plots without seeds, cut off the flowering branches of scutellaria baicalensis at the budding stage to avoid consuming too much nutrition.

4. Pest control

Pest control is something we cannot ignore in planting. Because diseases and insect pests are very harmful to scutellaria baicalensis, they will not only lead to yield reduction, but also may lead to large-scale death of scutellaria baicalensis plants. Therefore, when we plant, we must do a good job in management and strengthen prevention. Pay attention to the amount of water and fertilizer, adjust the growth environment reasonably according to the growth situation of scutellaria baicalensis. When an abnormal situation is found, it is necessary to check out the specific cause in time, and then make corresponding prevention and control work.

The above is a simple introduction to the cultivation technology of scutellaria baicalensis. The planting technology of scutellaria baicalensis is not very difficult, but we need to do a good job in management to ensure the planting benefit.
