Methods for Controlling Underground Pests of Codonopsis pilosula and Key Technical Points
The main underground pests harming Codonopsis pilosula are white grubs, cutworms and mole crickets; the above-ground pest is spider mites. Control methods for underground pests: use poisoned soil and poisoned bait to lure and kill them. Poisoned soil preparation: use 0.5-1.5 kg of 35% endosulfan per mu, 15 kg of soil, mix and scatter among the seedling roots; poisoned bait preparation: use 1 kg of roasted cake meal per mu, add 35 g of trichlorfon, mix well with water, scatter on the bed surface and beside the beds, in the furrows or on the ridges. Control methods for above-ground pests: the above-ground pest of Codonopsis pilosula is spider mites, generally

Detailed Explanation of Harvesting Methods and Primary Processing Techniques for Codonopsis pilosula
1. Harvesting and Storage of Codonopsis pilosula Seeds Although one-year-old Codonopsis pilosula plants can produce a small amount of flowers and seeds, many of the seeds are shriveled and do not easily sprout after sowing, or the seedlings that emerge are weak in growth, so they are not suitable for seed use. Two- to three-year-old Codonopsis pilosula plants produce more flowers and seeds, with plump grains, high yield, and good quality, and the seedlings grown from them are robust, making them suitable for seed use. Codonopsis pilosula seeds are generally harvested from September to October, when the fruits of two- to three-year-old Codonopsis pilosula turn yellowish-white and the seeds turn brown. After harvesting, dry them in the shade, place them in cloth bags or burlap bags, and store them at low temperature; the suitable temperature is below 10°C. 2. Codonopsis pilosula

Codonopsis pilosula 8917-2 Variety Introduction
8917-2 is a new Codonopsis pilosula line in China developed through crossbreeding by the Dryland Agriculture Research Institute of Dingxi Prefecture, Gansu Province. It shows strong advantages such as high and stable yield, drought and cold resistance, and wide adaptability. It increases yield by 20%-30% compared with Shanxi Ludang Codonopsis and Gansu Baitiao Codonopsis, producing 150-200 kg of dried product per 667 sq m, with the highest reaching 250 kg. The key points of its seedling raising and cultivation techniques are briefly introduced as follows. 1. Seedling raising The seedling field should be finely cultivated and fully applied with base fertilizer. Apply 2,500 kg of decomposed farmyard manure per 667 sq m, additionally apply 100 kg of cake fertilizer

Methods for Weed Control in Codonopsis pilosula and Key Technical Points
For fields where annual grass weeds such as barnyardgrass, crabgrass, foxtail, and giant foxtail are the main weeds, use herbicides such as napropamide (sethoxydim), quizalofop-p-ethyl, and fluazifop-p-butyl. ①2% sethoxydim emulsifiable concentrate at 75-100 g per 667 sq m. ②5% quizalofop-p-ethyl emulsifiable concentrate at 75-100 g. ③15% fluazifop-p-butyl emulsifiable concentrate at 75-100 g. Dilute the application rate in 15-20 kg of clean water and spray the stems and leaves of the weeds. Choose a sunny, windless day between 9-11 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

Detailed Explanation of Harvesting and Processing Methods for Codonopsis pilosula
For direct-sown fields, harvest in the third year; for transplanted fields, harvest after two years of growth following transplanting. For medicinal Codonopsis pilosula, the harvest period runs from when the aboveground parts wither until before the ground freezes, but the best quality is obtained when harvested within the half-month before and after the White Dew solar term. When harvesting, first remove the support stakes, cut off the stems and vines, then dig up the roots. Take care not to damage the roots while digging, to prevent the loss of sap. Remove the residual stems from the dug roots, wash off the soil, and sort them by size, length and thickness into old, large and medium grades for drying in the sun. After drying until half-dry, briefly blanch in boiling water, then sun-dry or oven-dry (oven-drying must use only a low fire, with the temperature around 60°C

Key Technical Points for Harvesting and Processing Codonopsis pilosula
(1) Harvesting: Direct-sown Codonopsis pilosula needs 3 years before it can be harvested, while transplanted seedlings are best harvested in the second year after transplanting. In autumn, after the above-ground stems and leaves turn yellow and wither, choose a sunny day and dig carefully and deeply, turning out the whole root, avoiding cuts and breakage so that the sap does not flow out and form black scars, which would reduce quality. (2) Processing: Wash the harvested Codonopsis pilosula, grade it, and process each grade separately. First spread it on a drying mat in the sun for 2-3 days; when the roots become soft from drying, tie each grade of Codonopsis pilosula into small bundles, hold the root head with one hand, and with the other hand rub downward along the root several times. The next day, sun-dry again, and in the evening gather them into ox-horn bundles, each weighing 1

Control Methods and Key Technical Points for Codonopsis Diseases
I. Rust mainly damages the stems and leaves of Codonopsis. Control methods: clean the field, eliminate field weeds and diseased plants. In the early stage of the disease, spray 25% triadimefon wettable powder at 1000-1500 times dilution, or 90% dithianon sodium at 400 times dilution for control. Spray once every 7-10 days, for 2-3 consecutive sprays. II. Root rot mainly damages the roots of Codonopsis. Control methods: from July to August, apply additional phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Before transplanting Codonopsis, soak the roots in 50% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder at 1000 times dilution for 5 minutes. When the disease occurs
