Planting Prospect of Panax quinquefolium

American ginseng is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to suitable climatic conditions, the cultivation of American ginseng should have higher technology and sufficient time and funds to form a certain scale. With a virtuous circle, it should be able to see high benefits. Generally speaking, there are certain prospects for the cultivation of American ginseng. Let's take a look at the planting prospects and benefits of American ginseng.

Planting Prospect of Panax quinquefolium

In the past, the application of American ginseng in China generally relied on imports, and the introduction and cultivation of American ginseng was a matter of nearly 30 years. In the 1940s, Jiangxi Lushan Botanical Garden successfully introduced American ginseng from Canada, but it was not popularized. Until the 1970s, American ginseng was introduced again in China, and it was successfully planted in Beijing, Jilin, Liaoning, Shaanxi and other relevant research and production units in 1980.

The Institute of Medicinal Research of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences was first popularized and planted in Ji'an No.1 ginseng Field of Jilin Province in 1980. The largest plant of American ginseng horse was harvested in 4 years, but the plant weight was 105 grams and the content of saponins was 5.44%. Then it was popularized and planted in Beijing (Huairou), Hebei (Mengzhou, Dingzhou), Hubei, Shaanxi, Shandong, Hunan, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, in addition to the successful trial planting of American ginseng in the original ginseng producing areas in Northeast China. The cultivation area of American ginseng has reached 4 million square meters, and four major training areas have been formed in Northeast China, North China, Central China, Kangdian and (including high-altitude mountain areas at latitudes), covering more than a dozen provinces, municipalities directly under the Central Government, dozens of counties and hundreds of cultivation farms. At present, domestic American ginseng can not only meet domestic demand, but also be exported to earn foreign exchange.

Planting benefit of Panax quinquefolium

The growth period of American ginseng is generally four years, which is usually calculated according to a cycle of four years, and the investment is relatively high at the beginning. If it is planted properly, the benefit per mu is much higher than that of traditional crops. Judging from the situation in recent years, the market investment is about 10000-15000 yuan. Because the material can be used continuously, it is not easy for American ginseng growers to withdraw. The average yield of American ginseng per mu of ordinary growers is basically stable at about 400-600 kg, and some growers have rich experience, meticulous management and comprehensive technology, and the yield per mu can reach about 800 kg.

Generally speaking, the higher the planting output of American ginseng is, the better the quality is, and the higher the purchase price is. The purchase price of ordinary American ginseng is about 90 yuan to 100 yuan per kilogram, and the purchase price of American ginseng with good quality can be as high as 110 yuan per kilogram, and that of American ginseng with poor quality is about 80 yuan per kilogram. If planted properly, the average annual income per mu in each planting cycle (four years) is basically stable at about 5000-10000 yuan, which is higher than engaging in food crop production. If the growers are inexperienced, not good at management, the output does not go up, the quality of American ginseng is poor, and the price will be much lower than that of other growers, which will result in losses. In addition, the fluctuation of the price of American ginseng is also the direct reason for the loss of some ginseng farmers.

Planting characteristics of Panax quinquefolium

1. High technology: the so-called high technology cannot be compared with high technology in the electronic field, which means that the biological characteristics of American ginseng are different from those of general crops (including cash crops), and each link in the cultivation process has unique requirements. In the implementation of each management, to achieve both rigorous and meticulous, timely and correct, but also in accordance with local conditions, flexible use, only in this way, we can ensure the normal growth of American ginseng and obtain the expected income.

2. High input: American ginseng plants need to complete the development process normally under the condition of shade, the cost of shading equipment is high, and the seed price is higher than that of ordinary crops (nearly 10000 yuan per mu). In addition, American ginseng takes 4 years from sowing to harvest, and the capital turnover period is also long.

3. High income: the economic benefit of cultivated American ginseng is very considerable. The yield of fresh ginseng per mu is 300750kg, the seed is 25-40kg, the fresh ginseng is 40 yuan per kilogram, the seed is estimated at 200yuan per kilogram, the income is 17000-38000 yuan, the input for 4 years is about 10000 yuan, and the net income per mu is 7000-28000 yuan, with an average annual benefit of 1750-7000 yuan per mu.

4. High risk: because of the high technical requirements, large investment and long cycle, the production of cash crops has to bear more risks than ordinary cash crops.
