How to plant Panax notoginseng seeds?

Sanqi is a perennial upright herb belonging to the genus Ginseng of Araliaceae, distributed in Yunnan, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Sichuan and other places. It is born in the zone of 1200~1800 meters above sea level. It has significant effects of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It has the reputation of "Jinbuhuan" and "Nanguo Shencao" and has extremely high cultivation value. Let's take a look at how to plant Sanqi seeds.

Germination Conditions of Panax notoginseng

The germination temperature of Panax notoginseng seeds is 10~30℃, the best temperature is 20℃, the dormancy period of seeds is 45~60 days, seedlings need a period of low temperature treatment before germination in the dormancy process, and they are very sensitive to light. Traditionally, it is believed that 30% natural light is needed to grow normally, so there is a saying of "30% light transmission, 70% shade" in the shade of Panax notoginseng. According to the latest research, the most suitable transmittance of Panax notoginseng is 8~12%, and more than 17% of the growth of Panax notoginseng will be adversely affected.

Seed treatment of Panax notoginseng

Sanqi generally selects the seeds of 3-year-old plants with strong growth and no diseases and insect pests. When the fruits are ripe in November to December, they are collected and washed and sown in time. Because the germination rate is greatly reduced after one week of storage, 0.2~0.3% Baume stone sulfur mixture is used for disinfection for 10 minutes before sowing, or 200~300 times zinc is used for disinfection for 15 minutes before sowing.

Seed sowing of No. 37

2 - 3 months before planting, the selected land is ploughed for many times to make the soil fully weathered and finely divided. Plough and harrow once before sowing, then raise the ridge height of 18~ 20cm, the ridge width of 1m, apply base fertilizer of 3000~ 4000kg per mu, mix well with soil, level the ridge surface, open holes according to the row spacing of 6cm × 6cm, the hole depth is 1.5cm, put 1 seed in each hole, cover the soil with straw, avoid hardening of the ridge soil. In the south, winter sowing seedlings emerge in 3 months and emerge in 4 months. About 100,000 seeds (weighing 8.5 kg) can be sown per mu. After one year of cultivation, they will be transplanted.

Transplanting seedlings of Panax notoginseng

Sanqi in the seedbed after a year of growth (commonly known as "seed") must be transplanted, transplanted new land and seedbed with the same method finishing, preferably in the snow or winter solstice period. Digging up the "seed strips" of the seedbed, cutting off the stems and leaves, commonly known as "seeds", putting them into the holes, applying a pinch of mixed fertilizer, covering the native inch, ditching according to the row spacing of 24×20 cm or 27 cm ×20 cm, and the ditch depth of 3~5 cm. When planting seedlings, make the seedlings and the bottom of the ditch at an angle of 20~30 degrees. Cover the soil at the edge of planting. The thickness shall not be exposed to the bud head. It shall not be too thick. Cover about 1~1.5 cm thick broken grass again. The principle is that no soil is found.
