The Market Prospect of Pseudostellaria heterophylla

Prince ginseng is also known as child ginseng and child ginseng. It is the tuberous root of perennial herb, which likes to grow in a warm and humid environment and is afraid of high temperature. it is distributed in East China, Central China, North China, Northeast and Northwest China, and the medicinal materials are mainly produced in Fujian, Guizhou, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui and other places. at present, it has been included in the "list of traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials that can be used for Health Food" by the Ministry of Health.

The Market Prospect of Pseudostellaria heterophylla

Radix Pseudostellariae, as a substitute for ginseng and even American ginseng, is favored by the field of traditional Chinese medicine and health products, resulting in an increase in dosage because of its mild medicinal properties, replenishing qi and nourishing yin. In recent years, many catering units and pharmaceutical factories have developed and produced health drinks of Radix Pseudostellariae, and even used this medicine instead of tea in overseas Hong Kong and Taiwan, resulting in a sharp increase in social consumption and export volume of Radix Pseudostellariae. Especially in the spring of 2003, SARS was rampant. As a traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying yin deficiency, Radix Pseudostellariae is essential and appears frequently in many formulations. As a result, the social demand for Radix Pseudostellariae soared and the export volume soared. The supply of goods in the drug market is tight, and the market price soars, and the participation price of the prince after the "drug market storm" is still much higher than that before the "storm", which shows that there is not much stock of Radix Pseudostellariae.

In recent years, due to drought and flood in 2000, 2001 and 2002, production was seriously reduced, coupled with low market prices, low income from drug farmers, low enthusiasm for planting, and some even dried ginseng seeds and used them as medicine. it seriously damaged the provenance. The market price of Prince Prince rebounded in the autumn of 2002, and farmers wanted to plant in a large area, but they suffered from insufficient seed roots and less output for several years in a row, which made their large goods less in the spring of 2003. Bozhou Pharmaceutical City has a sharp rise in market prices every time it goes to the big goods, which is enough to show that there is a shortage of large goods of Radix Pseudostellariae, which is urgent to be developed and planted. Therefore, the market prospect of Radix Pseudostellariae is bright.

Economic benefits of planting Pseudostellaria heterophylla

Radix Pseudostellariae has a short growth period and quick results, and it can be harvested in 8 months. The yield per mu is about 200kg. According to the lowest market price of 12 yuan / kg in Bozhou market, the average income per mu is about 2400 yuan.

Before planting, Prince ginseng applied 2000-2500 kg of soil miscellaneous fertilizer, 40-50 kg of rotten cake fertilizer, 50 kg of phosphate fertilizer and 25 kg of potassium sulfate per mu, of which soil miscellaneous fertilizer was not included in the production cost, and the amount of cake fertilizer was calculated as 50 yuan / kg. 50 kg of calcium superphosphate is calculated as 25, the total amount of fertilizer is 75 yuan. Cultivated land generally costs 35 yuan. When planting, 25 kg per mu of seed root is used, calculated according to 18 yuan / kg, 450 yuan is needed for seedling investment, once watering is needed when planting, and watering twice may be needed in the process of management, and 45 yuan is needed according to 3 times watering. 20 yuan of pesticide is needed in the process of pest control. In total, the cost per mu is 625 yuan. Excluding the cost, the income is 1750 yuan per mu.

Standardized planting according to GAP requirements

In the past, the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine was mostly scattered, not concentrated, not on a large scale, and the export of medicinal materials was blocked because of pesticide residues and heavy metal content exceeding the standard. The cultivation is not concentrated and the effective content of medicinal materials is different, which brings a lot of trouble to the production of pharmaceutical factories. For this reason, the State Drug Administration promulgated the "quality Management Standard for the production of traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials" (GAP), which standardized the cultivation of medicinal materials in strict accordance with the requirements of GAP, established a unified planting environment (including air environment, soil environment and irrigation water environment), unified planting, unified management and unified harvest. To ensure that the quality of raw materials is stable and reliable, and the quantity is centralized and unified. High quality and large quantity attract merchants, thus bringing sales advantages. Therefore, large-scale cultivation of Radix Pseudostellariae is the inevitable trend of Pseudostellaria production in the future.

Select improved varieties, seize the opportunity to quickly build the production base of Radix Pseudostellariae

In recent years, the varieties of Radix Pseudostellariae planted in the old producing areas are degraded, the ability to resist disasters is poor, and the output after the disaster is less than half of the output in normal years, and the output is also smaller, which affects the price of Radix Pseudostellariae. Bozhou Precious Medicinal Materials planting Research Institute and Wendeng Municipal Bureau of Agriculture have cultivated "Kangdu No.1" hybrid Radix Pseudostellariae after more than two years of efforts. This variety is large, sturdy and has strong anti-disaster ability. The yield is relatively high (in normal years, the ordinary variety produces only 100 kg, while "Kangdu No.1" can produce 200-300 kg).

There are excellent varieties, seize the golden period of planting, valuable medicinal materials planting research institute to provide technical support, and identify recovery contracts to ensure sales channels, the establishment of Pseudostellaria production base, large-scale planting is very feasible.
