Field Management of Salvia miltiorrhiza

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a well-known medicinal material in China, and the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza can be used as medicine. Salvia miltiorrhiza is also a common wild medicine, but with the increasing market demand of Salvia miltiorrhiza, the phenomenon that supply exceeds demand begins to appear, so the artificial planting area is also getting larger and larger. Although Salvia miltiorrhiza is easy to survive, it also needs some management, so how to manage the cultivation of Salvia miltiorrhiza? Let's take a look at it.

1. Fertilization management

Salvia miltiorrhiza is usually planted in winter and autumn, and the green period of Salvia miltiorrhiza is usually reached after spring. Salvia miltiorrhiza is an annual medicinal material, which can be harvested after at least 8 months, and should be fertilized at least three times in the planting process of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Topdressing during the rejuvenation period was the first, the second around Ching Ming Festival, and the last around the end of June. Fertiliser can be used mature farm manure, the method of fertilization can be applied in holes or ditches.

2. Loosen the soil and weed

The growth rate of Salvia miltiorrhiza is relatively slow in the early stage after planting, so in order to promote the growth of Salvia miltiorrhiza, we should do a good job of loosening soil and weeding in the planting process. Improve the permeability of soil, promote the nutrition absorption of Salvia miltiorrhiza, and the number of weeding should not be less than three times. Weeding is to prevent weeds from competing with Salvia miltiorrhiza for nutrients and affect the growth of Salvia miltiorrhiza. When loosening the soil, we should pay attention to the strength to avoid hurting the roots, and try to carry out with topdressing when loosening the soil and weeding.

3. Water management

Salvia miltiorrhiza needs a certain amount of water to grow, but it is not resistant to waterlogging, so we should pay attention to the water content in the field during the growth period. Do a good job of drainage in time, pay attention to clean up the drainage ditch, to prevent poor drainage caused by channel blockage, the emergence of waterlogging. Pay attention to the weather changes, timely watering when drought, rainy weather to drainage. Furrow irrigation can be used when watering, and it can be avoided at noon to speed up the irrigation speed.

4. Florescence management

Salvia miltiorrhiza in the flowering period to do a good job of keeping seeds, some Salvia miltiorrhiza plants need to retain flowers, but the plants that do not need to retain seeds should pinch off the inflorescence in time. Ensure that the nutrition of Salvia miltiorrhiza is concentrated in the root, the inflorescence should be removed in time and the frequency should be high. It is best to remove the inflorescence as soon as it is extracted, keep the strong inflorescences of the remaining plants, and remove the slow-growing and malnourished inflorescences in time. As a result, the quality of the seed is improved and the growth of the plant is strengthened.

5. Plant management

Although Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae is mainly used as medicine, the plants on the ground should also be well managed when planting. If the permeability is too poor, the plants are prone to lodging, which will affect the expansion of tubers. The tillering of Salvia miltiorrhiza is disadvantageous to the growth of the plant, especially in the later stage, so all the tillers should be removed in time after the flowering period of Salvia miltiorrhiza. And after the seed is harvested, the old stalk should be cut off in time so that the plant has the ability to regenerate.

The above is the field management method of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which is a famous traditional Chinese medicine, and the oldest medical skill in our country is traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, the market demand of Salvia miltiorrhiza is still in an upward trend, and the market price is only increasing. Therefore, Salvia miltiorrhiza is also a planting project with good planting prospects. This is the end of today's introduction, this article is only for reference, but also hope to help you.
