The previous crop of the plot is preferably sweet potato, vegetable and other crops. After the harvest of the previous crop, the plot is ploughed, the cultivated land is applied with farm manure as base fertilizer, combined with the cultivated land, turned into the soil, and after fine harrowing and leveling, high ridges are made.

There are many propagation methods of Pseudostellaria heterophylla, commonly used are seed and tuber propagation methods, tuber propagation is good when selecting buds intact. Furrowing on the furrow surface, tilting or laying the tubers on one side of the furrow, the position of the bud head should be consistent, and then covering the soil, the thickness of the covering soil is more important, too deep ginseng root is large, the quantity is small, the yield is low, too shallow ginseng root is small, the quality is poor, and 5-6cm is appropriate. Seeds are not easy to collect, often use naturally dropped seeds to raise seedlings in situ, after harvest in situ cultivation, rake the plot flat, fertilize and plant a crop of radish, vegetables, etc., after harvest, rake flat, then the seeds will germinate and emerge, grow to 3-4 leaves can be transplanted.

3. Field management

After emergence, intertill and weed in time. If the planting area and weeds are few, it is recommended to pull them out manually. If the planting area is large and there are many weeds, chemical weeding can be used, but attention should be paid to the concentration of chemicals. Pseudostellaria root is afraid of waterlogging. Once the soil is accumulated, it is easy to rot. Therefore, it must be drained in time after rain. In case of drought, it should be irrigated in time to facilitate the growth of plants. If the plant grows slowly or weakly, apply some human feces or ammonium sulfate as appropriate.

4. Diseases and pests

The diseases of Pseudostellaria heterophylla mainly include root rot, leaf spot disease and mosaic disease, which are mostly caused by high temperature and humidity environment. Therefore, we must choose plots with good drainage and ventilation effect when planting, and spray drugs in time for disease prevention and control. Insect pests include grubs, ground tigers, mole crickets and insects. They mainly harm diseases and affect yield. In serious cases, they lead to death of aboveground parts. Insecticides can be used to irrigate roots with water or make poisonous soil to kill them.
