Matters needing attention in the latest planting of Coptis chinensis

Coptis chinensis is a very common traditional Chinese medicine. It has a strong medicinal property, a strong smell and a very bitter taste. Although we may have never seen or tasted it, we all know that it is very bitter. After all, there is an old saying that the mute cannot tell when they eat Coptis chinensis. So we all know that Coptis chinensis is bitter, but because of its high value, it exists in all major Chinese medicine stores and western medicine ingredients. And now there are many people who grow Coptis chinensis to get rich, so what do you need to pay attention to when planting Coptis chinensis, and how can it be high-yielding? let's let the pro-farm network tell you.

1. Planting time

The seasonality of Coptis chinensis planting is not particularly obvious, but it also needs to be paid attention to when planting. Normally, Coptis chinensis can be planted in spring, summer and autumn, but it cannot be planted in winter because the temperature in winter is too low for seeds to sprout. In spring, we usually plant in early March, in summer in early May, and in autumn from the end of October to mid-November. These periods are most suitable for seed germination of Coptis chinensis, followed by transplanting. Transplanting is usually the best from March to April, when the survival rate is higher.

2. Planting conditions

The growth of Coptis chinensis does not need a lot of light, so the environment for planting it is best in a relatively shady place, but the market will have sunlight but not direct light, and the second is that the planting land should have a certain slope to facilitate drainage. Then, the land should try to choose sandy land with more organic matter and more organic matter as far as possible, so that the soil has strong permeability, fertilizer storage and water storage. Can reduce a certain amount of field management workload, do not choose clay for planting, because not only the yield is low but also the workload is large.

3. Planting mode

There are two ways of planting, but the most common one is seed direct seeding, because its germination period is not very long, so it is relatively simple to use direct seeding. The second is that we can collect seeds in a certain period of time, and then we can sow seeds directly. More importantly, the yield is still very good, but here we still have to talk about the points for attention of transplanting. That is, we have to wait until Coptis chinensis seedlings have 13 or 14 leaves and apply new plants that have grown for two years before we can transplant, otherwise the survival rate and yield of Coptis chinensis after transplanting is not good.

4. Planting density

Although Coptis chinensis does not need a lot of light, but there must be a certain density between each plant, otherwise Coptis chinensis can not swell, which means that the yield is not high, so we usually plant Coptis chinensis at a distance of five to 20 centimeters per plant and 25 to 30 centimeters per row, so that Coptis chinensis has a certain space for growth, does not appear depressed in the field, and can reduce the occurrence of diseases.

5. Field management

Field management is the key in the process of planting Coptis chinensis, so there are many problems that need to be paid attention to, such as weeding, fertilization, pruning branches and leaves, clearing fields and so on. Generally speaking, we need to weed at least three times a year, so Huanglian needs to weed at least three times a year, which can reduce unnecessary nutrient and water consumption. secondly, we usually apply farm rotten fertilizer or organic fertilizer. of course, we can also use a mixture of phosphate fertilizer, potash fertilizer, cake fertilizer and calcium fertilizer instead. Finally, because Coptis chinensis can grow for several years in a row, we need to cut off the extra branches and leaves of Coptis chinensis in order to maintain the permeability of the field.
