Planting techniques of Fructus Scutellariae

Kochia mandshurica is a weed that can be seen everywhere in the countryside, but this weed is of great value and is almost covered with treasures all over the body. The fruit of Fructus Scutellariae can be used as medicine, tender stems and leaves can also be eaten, and aging plants can be made into brooms. As Kochia mandshurica has been widely picked in recent years, it has reached the point where it needs to be planted on an artificial scale. So how should the skin be planted? Today, the editor has brought you the planting technology of Kochia mandshurica. Let's have a look!

1. Sowing and raising seedlings

The roots of Fructus mandshurica are so well developed that they can be seeded on almost all soils. Controlling the temperature at about 15 degrees after sowing will help to promote the seed to take root and germinate, and do a good job of raising seedlings after emergence. Seedlings can be raised by direct seeding or transplanting, which does not have much effect on the growth of Kochia mandshurica. However, although Kochia mandshurica is more drought-resistant, it should also be watered, fertilized and properly covered with soil before sowing.

2. Field management

Whether it is bare ground direct seeding or seedling transplanting, when the seedlings grow to about 18 cm, it is necessary to properly adjust the planting density and do a good job of seedling determination. Observe the seedling height when raising seedlings and transplanting, and transplant when it reaches about 8 cm. Weeding should be done well after planting. Although Kochia mandshurica is also a kind of weed, there are also many weeds that have stronger growth ability than Kochia mandshurica. Naturally, it will affect the growth of the skin, so weeding is very important.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Although the growth ability of Kochia mandshurica is strong, in order to increase the yield, we should not only apply enough base fertilizer, but also combine topdressing work when managing seedlings. Promote the nutrient absorption of seedlings, improve the growth rate, and enhance the ability of disease resistance. And in the growth of Kochia mandshurica, it is necessary to keep the soil in a moist state, which can not only increase the yield, but also enhance the quality and commodity value. So we have to water it at least once a week during the growing period, but we also need to prevent flooding.

4. Disease and pest control

Kochia mandshurica has strong disease resistance, but it will suffer from some insect pests, such as aphids, and if it is not well managed, it will still have some diseases. Therefore, while preventing and controlling diseases, we also need to drive away pests, prevent pests from eating plants, endanger plant growth, and use corresponding pesticides according to specific diseases and insect pests. And the skin is also very easy to be entangled by dodder, found that the dodder should be pulled out as soon as possible to avoid disaster.

5. Timely harvest

Pay attention to the harvest time, not too early or too late, early harvest will be affected to a certain extent. If the fruit is harvested too late, the fruit is almost finished naturally, so when we harvest it, it depends on the height of the plant and the object of harvest. For example, if the seedlings are harvested, it is usually about 18 cm in the plant, and the tender stems and leaves are usually in May-June of each year, and finally the whole plant and seeds are harvested before and after the Beginning of Autumn.

The above is a brief introduction to the planting technology of Fructus Scutellariae, which is of high value, but there are still some risks in planting. For example, planting technology, marketing, and so on, these are all areas that we need to consider before planting.
