Gentiana is a herb of the genus Asteraceae, alias grass sandal root, grass sole, gall head, the whole grass can be used in medicine, with heat-clearing, blood-cooling, detoxification, dampness effect, often used in cold, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, jaundice, eczema and so on. So how to grow gentian grass? Let's have a look with the editor.

1. Land selection and preparation

Gentiana is a wild plant, which has strong adaptability to the environment and lax requirements on soil, but for yield and income, it is best to choose land with good drainage, deep soil layer and loose and fertile soil. When planting on the hillside and forest edge, in the winter of the year before planting, we should plough the land, clean up the residual plants of stones and weeds in the field, and apply an appropriate amount of farm manure as base fertilizer according to the state of soil fertility. in addition, the same is true of planting under the forest or intercropping in the orchard.

2. Methods of reproduction

The propagation methods of Herba Euphorbiae include seedling transplanting, seed direct seeding, root division propagation, cutting propagation and so on. Before transplanting and sowing, the seeds should first be dried or germinated, and then sowed on the seedbed, generally 1.5-2 kg per mu, covered with a layer of shallow soil. After emergence, do a good job of seedling management, transplant when the seedlings grow to 5 leaves, wet the seedlings when transplanting, in order to avoid root damage, and then open holes in the planting ground to plant. Direct seeding is suitable for pure planting or orchard and forest intercropping, opening holes in the ground according to the row spacing of 20cm × 15cm, sowing 6-8 grains in each hole, covering a layer of fertile soil after sowing, watering to keep the soil moist, and time seedlings and fixed seedlings after emergence.

3. Field management

Seedling transplanting 7-10 days after survival, we should inspect the garden in time, find that the unsurvived plants should be pulled out, and replenish the seedlings in time, in addition, the same is true of direct seeding. After half a month of seedling replenishment, it is necessary to timely plough weeds and promote seedling growth, combined with 500-600 kg of rotten human feces per mu to speed up seedling growth. In the future, according to the growth status of seedlings and weeds, timely ploughing and weeding should be carried out. If the weed damage is serious, fertilizer should be applied in time after weeding, so as to avoid poor plant growth and affect the yield and quality. In order to save nutrients in the later stage, for the planting with no seeds, the buds should be removed in time to concentrate nutrients for rhizome growth in August, so as to promote rhizome yield and increase income.
