The planting prospect of Artemisia mandshurica

A perennial herb of Equisetum, Equisetum family, grows in places with abundant water and is seen everywhere in rural areas. It is regarded as an unnamed weed. However, as early as the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen recorded it in the pharmacopoeia. It has the effect of dispelling wind and dissipating heat, relieving muscles and reducing fever. It is an important traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years, artificial cultivation has also begun to appear. Is artificial cultivation feasible and economically beneficial?

I. Market demand

At present, there are not many artificial cultivation quantities, mostly wild, but it is precisely because of wild reasons, its vitality is extremely tenacious, can adapt to most areas, easy to plant. It can also be widely promoted. It has very important value in traditional Chinese medicine treatment and clinical treatment. At present, the market price is generally less than ten yuan a catty hay price fluctuation.

II. Cultivation methods and costs

Generally, good healthy plants can be selected directly, and then large-scale sowing and cuttage propagation can be carried out. The propagation seedlings can be directly propagated in the open field without the need to build greenhouses or other facilities. After the seedbed is sorted out, it is properly disinfected. After cutting into about 10 cm, the grass is soaked in the rooting powder for half an hour, and it can be cut at a distance of 3 cm in the wet seedbed. It can also be directly planted after sowing seedlings, the same maintenance. In the future, as long as you cover the sun screen and water it every day until the root system grows completely, you can transplant it. Only need to apply some base fertilizer before planting, other time can not topdressing, it is poisonous whole plant generally will not have insect harm. Proper attention can be paid to the occurrence of diseases.

It can be seen that in the whole process of planting the grass, the cost is much lower than that of other medicinal plants, basically only a certain amount of manual management cost and a small amount of fertilizer and chemical cost are needed. There is no need to spend on facility construction, and even seedlings can be taken or retained for breeding.

III. Current planting situation

At present, there are many kinds of wild grass, distributed in all parts of the country, the main planting areas in Inner Mongolia,. For example, Xing 'an League, Zhelimu League, Chifeng City, Yikezhao League and Alxa League have the largest output. It grows even in Xizang. At present, the most common cultivation is still in the southern part of our country. Because wild resources are gradually picked and reduced, and there are a large number of people who need medicine, people began to cultivate and popularize artificial cultivation.
