Introduction to the breeding methods of Scutellaria barbata

Scutellaria barbata (details) as a medicinal material is one of the scarce traditional Chinese medicines recommended by the Medical Administration of China in recent years, so more and more medicine farmers begin to cultivate Scutellaria barbata. In fact, the cultivation of Scutellaria barbata is not difficult, artificial propagation can choose the method of sowing and ramet.

Scutellaria barbata (details)

First, seed propagation: ① seed collection. When the small seeds turn yellowish brown in autumn, collect the mature seeds in time, dry them, remove impurities, put them in a cloth bag and store them in a dry and ventilated place. Seedlings were raised by ②. In spring, from March to April, and from September to November, a shallow trench (4mur6cm) was planted on a flat and raked seedbed with a row spacing of 15cm to 20cm. The sowing width was 10cm, and the bottom of the ditch was sprinkled with appropriate amount of ash, watering or thin human feces and urine, then evenly sprinkled with seeds mixed with fine soil, then sprinkled with a thin layer of fire ash or loess, and finally covered with straw and other mulch. The seedbed is often kept moist and generally germinates and emerges in about half a month. After emergence, remove the cover grass, strengthen the seedling stage management, the seedling height is about 5 cm and transplant into the field. Live on ③. It is usually carried out in spring. On the finished border surface, the ditch is opened according to the row spacing of 30 cm, and the ditch depth is 3 cm. The seeds mixed evenly with fine fire soil ash or fine loess are scattered evenly into the ditch, covered with a thin layer of fine fertile soil, and then covered with grass to keep the soil layer moist. After about half a month, the seedlings emerged, after the seedlings were uncovered, the grass cover was removed, and the seedling stage management was done well, with a seed consumption of 1 kg per mu.

Second, split-plant propagation: after the autumn harvest, the old mackerel will be dug out with the whisker root. The rootstock with strong growth and disease-free insects was selected and divided into several small ones, and then on the whole planting ground, the holes were dug according to the row spacing of 30 cm and the plant spacing of 7 mi. 10 cm, a small tree was planted in each hole, the soil was compacted after planting, and the thin human and animal dung water was applied, and the seedlings germinated the following spring.

Breeding methods and management of Scutellaria barbata

Scutellaria barbata is also called sunflower, because the flowers of Scutellaria barbata bloom when there is plenty of sunshine, and they are closed when the light is weak in cloudy days, evening and early morning. Because the flower shape of Scutellaria barbata is like peony and its leaves are like pine needles, there is another name for dragon beard peony or pine leaf peony.

Scutellaria barbata

Scutellaria barbata is usually propagated by sowing or cutting, sowing indoors in the sun in March or live in the courtyard in April. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 20ml 25 degrees, which can germinate in about one week. After the seedlings come out, the seedlings can blossom in about two months after a little inter-seedling or transplanting, and the young stems can be removed during the growing period, which can take root easily and blossom quickly; it is very easy to restore growth after transplanting, so large seedlings can also be transplanted with bare roots. The main florescence is from July to September, and the small capsule is mature from August to October. The peel-like cap-shaped fruit split horizontally when ripe, followed by tiny silver-gray seeds. Some Corolla has fallen off, when the top cover of the capsule is straw yellow, it has also matured; we should pay attention to timely harvest.

Scutellaria barbata is a cross-pollinated plant, sowing and reproduction is difficult to maintain the purity of one or two seed pairs, attention should be paid to the elimination of single-petal and floret plants.

The family is more in the windowsill, balcony with shallow pot planting, cultivate into a meticulous and exquisite small potted flowers.

The Culture method of Scutellaria barbata the efficacy and function of Scutellaria barbata

Scutellaria barbata is the dry aboveground part of Scutellaria barbata, which has the functions of heat-clearing and detoxification, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, detumescence and pain, anti-cancer and so on. The following is going to tell you the culture method of Scutellaria barbata and the efficacy and function of Scutellaria barbata.

The culture method of Scutellaria barbata:

1. Environment: like warm, dry, sunny environment, drought tolerance, avoid waterlogging, strong adaptability.

2. Planting: cutting culture is the main method. The branches were cut off and placed in a shady environment for one day, and then directly inserted into plain sand the next day. After watering, it was easy to take root in a warm environment.

3. Temperature: like warmth, and the suitable temperature for growth is 20-30 degrees Celsius. Not cold-resistant, the lowest temperature should not be lower than 8 °.

4. Light: sensitive to light, strong positive flowers. It is not resistant to shade, and sufficient light is needed throughout the growing period to make the plant grow and bloom normally. The hot weather in summer coincides with the most prosperous period of plant growth and flowering, and sufficient sunlight is needed before the plant can blossom luxuriantly and brightly.

5. Watering: because fleshy stems and leaves can store water, they have strong drought resistance and can grow and blossom under drought conditions. However, in order to make the plant grow and blossom well, it is also necessary to provide proper water. Avoid excessive dampness and stagnant water, when it is more than 7 feet, it is easy to cause plant stems and leaves to grow, and even rotten roots to die.

6. diseases and insect pests: there are diseases and insect pests such as rust and diamondback moth.

7. Courtyard collocation: Scutellaria barbata is colorful, easy to cultivate and widely used in the courtyard. It can be planted on the edge of the grass and beside the path, and it can also be used as a ground cover plant facing the south courtyard and hang at the entrance of the porch as a drooping pot plant. It is also an excellent material for roof greening.

The efficacy and function of Scutellaria barbata:

1. Bacteriostatic effect: 50% decoction of Scutellaria barbata uses plate trenching method to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella flexneri, typhoid bacillus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.

2. Antispasmodic and expectorant effect: safflor contained in this product has a strong anti-smooth muscle contraction caused by histamine, and has a good expectorant effect.

3. Anti-tumor effect: the screening test with methylene blue test tube method showed that this product had a mild inhibitory effect on acute myeloid leukemia cells; the screening experiment with cell respirator method showed that the inhibition rate on blood cells of acute granulocytic leukemia was more than 75%.

4. Immunomodulatory effect: the polysaccharide contained in this product can promote the lymphocyte transformation of mouse spleen cells induced by ConA in vitro, and the optimum concentration is 400r/ml. One week after administration of Sc, the percentage of esterase positive cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes of mice was significantly increased and the delayed type hypersensitivity induced by DNCB was promoted. However, high dose administration (200mg/kg) could inhibit the thymus index of mice, but had no effect on spleen index.
