Key cultivation measures for High yield of Salvia miltiorrhiza

The cultivation of Salvia miltiorrhiza was planted by dividing root, Reed head and cuttage, and harvested before germination in the spring of the same year or the second year. If the seedlings were raised and transplanted with seeds, they were harvested after the stems and leaves withered from October to November in the second year or before germination in the early spring of the third year, and picked when the sunny day was drier.

Key techniques and measures for high-yield cultivation

Adopt film root seedling and Reed head propagation, apply sufficient base fertilizer, high ridge cultivation, re-apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in autumn, and remove the flower stalk in time.

Harvest and processing

1. Harvest

Those planted with split roots, Reed heads and cuttings were harvested before germination in the spring of the same year or the second year of planting. The seedlings transplanted with seeds were harvested after stem and leaf withered in October-November of the second year or before germination in the early spring of the third year. Choose to dig when sunny days are drier. When digging, first hoe the soil around the rhizosphere, and then dig up the whole root. After exposure to the sun in the field, remove the soil and transport it back, avoid washing with water.

2. Processing method

Put the returned ginseng roots in the sun until semi-dry, remove the soil from the roots, concentrate on piling up and sweating, each pile of 500kg-1000 kg, pile up for 4-5 days, and then dry for 1-2 days, so that when the center of the root changes from white to purple-black, it will spread out and dry. Remove the fibrous roots from the roots with fire, shake them in a bamboo basket, rub them against each other, remove the soil and beard roots from the roots, and cut off the Reed head.
