Cultivation techniques of Scutellaria barbata

Half of the lotus like the wet environment, slightly resistant to light wet drought, cold resistance, can survive the winter in the field naturally, wild in the ridges of fields, grasslands, ditches, stream wet places. Artificial planting in the gully beach is better than the wet place, and the soil is better in sandy soil.

Use seed propagation method, cutting propagation method, ramet propagation method and so on. Production is based on ramet propagation, in order to expand reproduction, cutting propagation can also be used.

Ramet propagation

From April to May in spring, after new seedlings grow, each clump can be divided into 4-6 plants according to the size of the clump. Then trench, according to row spacing 15-25 cm, plant spacing 6-10 cm.

Cuttage propagation

Take the high temperature and high humidity season as the suitable cutting period, cut the stem branches and cut them in the soil, the temperature is 24-30 ℃, the soil remains moist, about 10 days can survive, the following spring transplant in the field, field management, seedling height of about 6 cm.

Field management

Pay attention to loosening the soil and weeding at the seedling stage. Farm manure was applied once after planting, livestock manure or ammonium sulfate and urea was applied once after summer harvest, and rotten manure or compost was applied in winter. Irrigation should be followed in the dry season, and the economy keeps the soil moist to facilitate growth.
