Key points of planting of Radix Pseudostellariae

Pseudostellaria paniculata has a wide range of functions, there is a great demand in the market, and there are good planting prospects. Today, we will briefly talk about the basic key points of planting Pseudostellariae.

Choose the participating land and apply sufficient base fertilizer

Choose the hillside land of red and yellow soil, the two wasteland planted for one year is the best, the ginseng land can not accumulate water after rain. The ginseng land should be cultivated intensively and carefully, and the border should be 1 meter wide, 25 centimeters wide and 15 centimeters deep, with horizontal grooves 12-15 centimeters apart and 6-9 centimeters deep on the leveled border surface. Apply 15-20 kg of ternary compound fertilizer per mu of ginseng land, 40 kg of calcium superphosphate, or 2000-2500 kg of human and animal manure, 40 kg of calcium superphosphate as base fertilizer, and add appropriate amount of carbofuran into base fertilizer to control the harm of termites and ground tigers.

Planting in time to ensure the quality of planting

It can be planted from late October to December, and generally in the first ten days of November, the root is large, disease-free and intact. Plant the root according to the plant distance of 6-7 cm, the bud head upward slightly tilted into the trough, must not be planted vertically, cover the seed with soil fertilizer after planting, the density is too thin to affect the yield, too dense to increase the amount of seed, increase the production cost, need to use about 40 kg of seed per mu. Planting depth is easy to 6 cm, too deep tuber root hypertrophy, the number is less, affect the yield, too shallow tuber root is small, and easy to fork, easy to dry to death in case of drought weather, affecting yield and quality, timely watering after planting.

Strengthen field management to ensure high yield and harvest

From February to March, the seedlings were ploughed to loosen the soil and grass, and when the soil was loosened, people could not go to the border, and stood in the ditch to operate, combined with fertilization, using 1500-2000 kg of human and animal manure per mu and 8 kg of compound fertilizer. Two times of intermediate ploughing and weeding were carried out from April to May, combined with seedling topdressing, Prince Edward was afraid of water stains, high temperature and drought. Clear the ditch and drain in time after the rain, and water it in time in the dry season.

Harvest in time and preserve ginseng seeds

In June, the aboveground part of Radix Pseudostellariae began to wither. After withering, the yellow leaves of the aboveground part can be cut and dug. At this time, it is the seed retention period of Radix Pseudostellariae, generally using ginseng to keep seeds, and interplanting spring soybeans on the remaining seeds. When the plants of Radix Pseudostellariae are completely withered and yellow, soybeans make use of their branches and leaves to shade and cool the ginseng, which is beneficial to the safety of ginseng over the summer. Radix Pseudostellariae is exposed to the sun for 2-3 days after harvest, and the fine roots are fragile after drying. If they are turned over several times in time, they can be removed by dustpan to remove the beard root, which can be sold as a medicinal commodity.
