How to manage Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in the field

Baikal skullcap root is also called camellia root. It is a perennial herb of Labiatae family. It is distributed all over China, mainly concentrated in northwest and southwest regions. The planting area is also very wide. In order to ensure the yield and quality of scutellaria baicalensis, the most important thing is to do a good job in field management. So how should the cultivation of scutellaria baicalensis be managed in the field? The following small series brings you the field management technology of scutellaria baicalensis. Let's take a look together!

1. Thinning seedlings

When the seedlings of scutellaria baicalensis grow to about 6 cm, they should be thinned to ensure that each strong seedling of scutellaria baicalensis has the growth of components. Thinning seedlings will control the spacing between seedlings in 7 cm or so will be its fixed seedlings, thinning seedlings fixed seedlings work on the growth of scutellaria baicalensis is very important. It is directly related to the growth ability and yield of scutellaria baicalensis in the middle and late stages. When the seedlings are determined, attention should be paid to filling the holes with healthy seedlings of the same growth. Then, when transplanting, we should pay attention to transplanting with soil. After transplanting, we should irrigate enough root fixing water to promote the growth of scutellaria baicalensis.

2. Intertillage and weeding

The growth ability of scutellaria baicalensis seedlings is relatively weak, and the growth rate is not fast, so it is necessary to do a good job of intertillage and weeding in the seedling stage. Regular cultivation can not only effectively remove weeds in the soil, prevent the growth of scutellaria baicalensis seedlings from being robbed of nutrients, but also improve soil permeability and enhance soil quality. Weed at least 3 times in the first year of planting scutellaria baicalensis until the ridge is closed. Then loosen soil once every time before the rejuvenation period of scutellaria baicalensis for several years, and weed properly according to the growth conditions of weeds and scutellaria baicalensis after the rejuvenation period until the ridge is closed.

3. Water and fertilizer management

The requirement of scutellaria baicalensis for nutrition is relatively large. When planting scutellaria baicalensis, topdressing should be timely, and nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other fertilizers should be given priority to, which can effectively improve the yield of scutellaria baicalensis. Control the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to ensure the normal growth of scutellaria baicalensis. Pay attention to the amount of chemical fertilizer, not chemical fertilizer, to prevent fertilizer damage. And nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied too much, to prevent excessive nitrogen fertilizer from causing excessive growth of scutellaria baicalensis and reducing yield. Then keep the soil moist before the seedlings of scutellaria baicalensis are unearthed, control watering after the seedlings are fixed, and the moisture should not be too much. Pay attention to the soil moisture, pay attention to proper watering when the soil is too dry, but drain water in time during rainy season or when watering too much, so as to avoid rotten roots and dead seedlings, causing diseases and insect pests.

4. Grass cover and flower picking

After each intertillage and weeding, about 2 cm of straw should be covered between the rows of scutellaria baicalensis. It is best to chop the straw to improve the moisture and fertilizer retention ability of the soil. Avoid soil drought, prevent soil hardening, control soil temperature, and ensure that roots can grow normally. Then for some scutellaria baicalensis fields without seeds, the flowering branches should be cut off after scutellaria baicalensis buds appear, so as to avoid excessive nutrient consumption on the ground, rob the nutrition of underground roots and hinder the growth of roots. Concentrate nutrition on plant root, improve yield and quality of scutellaria baicalensis.

The above is a simple introduction to how to carry out field management of scutellaria baicalensis. We also need to do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests in order to ensure that scutellaria baicalensis grows stronger, improve yield and protect its own economic benefits. Today's introduction is here, this article is for reference only, I hope to help everyone oh!
