The planting technique of Sarcandra chinensis

Rhizoma Scutellariae is a relatively rare traditional Chinese medicine, it is the dry whole plant of Coral, alias Jiujie flower, bamboo tea, elderberry, elderberry, it has the effects of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing and detoxification, menstrual bone grafting, and is often used to treat rheumatic joint injury, fracture and so on. Due to the lack of wild resources, many areas began to plant artificially. The following editor brings you an introduction to its planting techniques.

1. Land selection and preparation

Swollen joint wind like warm and humid climate, like cool environment, avoid strong light exposure, like to grow in deep, loose, fertile, slightly acidic sandy loam, barren, easy to water soil should not be planted. When planting, it is appropriate to choose the hillside near the water source, beside the gully stream or under the shade of the valley, and after selecting the land, plough the soil in autumn and winter to make it fully weathered, assemble and prepare the land in the spring of the following year, and apply 2000-2500 kg of rotten farm manure per mu as base fertilizer.

2. Methods of reproduction

In production, ramet is mostly used for propagation, of course, it can also be propagated with seeds and cuttings. It can be planted once and can be harvested continuously for more than ten years. Ramet propagation is generally carried out in early spring or late autumn. The plant is dug up, divided into several small plants, replanted according to the row spacing of 20 × 30 cm, and watered frequently to keep the soil moist so as to make the ramet survive. After survival, attention should be paid to weeding and fertilization, this method is relatively simple, and the plant grows faster. Generally, seeds should be collected from October to December. After sand storage, the seeds will be sown in the following spring. A shallow trench will be opened on the seedbed according to the row spacing of 20 cm. The seeds will be evenly sown and covered with soil and grass to facilitate seedling emergence. Generally, seedlings can emerge in 15-20 days. Cuttage propagation is carried out in March-April. 1-2-year branches on robust plants are selected as cuttings, cut into 10-15 cm long, soaked in rooting powder solution for 2-3 minutes, and then cuttings can take root in January.

3. Transplanting

Those propagated by seeds and cuttings can be transplanted when the seedlings grow for about a year, usually in winter 11-12 or spring 2-3 months. On the whole border surface, a hole is opened according to the row spacing of 20 × 30 cm, and one plant is planted in each hole. The planting is to stretch the root system, gently lift the seedling in half of the filling, be firm in the filling, and pour enough water to fix the root. After transplanting survived, do a good job in field management to promote plant growth and health.

4. Field management

In the seedling stage, it is necessary to plough and weed 2-3 times to ensure that the soil is loose and that there are no weeds in the field. After transplanting, seedlings should be checked in time, and the phenomenon of dead seedlings should be replenished in time to ensure the whole seedlings. Water frequently after transplanting, keep the soil moist, and drain water in time after the rainy season to avoid rotting roots. Topdressing is necessary in spring and summer every year, and farm manure is applied in combination with soil cultivation in winter to ensure that plants survive the winter safely. in addition, attention should also be paid to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.
