Hard work of planting, planting of Panax notoginseng (3)

The harvest of Panax notoginseng is heavy physical work, but the initial processing of Panax notoginseng is fine palm work, and there are many procedures, each step is necessary, can not be omitted. Panax notoginseng is basically excavated manually, and the reason for not using machinery is mainly to avoid mechanical damage to Panax notoginseng. Once dug up, the price will drop several times.

Careful pruning

After harvest, Panax notoginseng needs to be pruned and the branches are removed, leaving only the main root and the cut. After pruning, it is necessary to bind the cut and the main root with a rubber band, because the cut is easy to fall off and then dry or dry. Relatively large Panax notoginseng, usually retain the cut, after dehydration belongs to the larger Panax notoginseng, can buy a good price, relatively small, do not necessarily retain the cut. The water content of Panax notoginseng is very heavy, and the weight and volume after dehydration are 20% or even lower than when they are fresh, which virtually increases the cost of making Panax notoginseng.

Clean immediately.

When the dehydration is finished, the water content is between 5% and 10%. At this time, Panax notoginseng can be called dry Panax notoginseng, and the next job is to prune and clean again. The purpose of cleaning is to be clean and sanitary, and the purpose of pruning is to make the shape of Panax notoginseng more beautiful, thus removing some superfluous parts. Here is a technical job, there is no cleaning experience, it is easy to get rid of the cut, originally 20 heads of Panax notoginseng, cut into 25 heads, the price naturally dropped a lot. Pruning is the same, if there is no experience, there will be too much pruning, resulting in a single weight loss of Panax notoginseng, that is, economic loss.

The essence of copper skin and iron bone

After trimming and cleaning, the crucial step is grading. The number of heads we often talk about is a unique unit of weight of Panax notoginseng, that is, how many main roots of Panax notoginseng per 500 grams, that is, how many heads of Panax notoginseng, not the protruding tumor on the head of Panax notoginseng. Most of the time, the seven farmers are carefully selected manually, with the development of science and technology, people have begun to use mechanical selection, although not as perfect as manual selection, but the efficiency has been greatly improved. The more Panax notoginseng chooses, the higher the return, otherwise it is likely to lose money, so it is often said that high return coexists with high risk.
