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

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 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

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

Broadcasting Methods and Key Sowing Techniques for Codonopsis pilosula
First rake off the surface dry soil, use a scraper to level the bed surface, evenly broadcast the seeds over the bed surface, lightly sweep the bed surface several times with a broom, mix the seeds into the topsoil, and then compact. After sowing, cover the bed surface with 1 layer of rice straw, millet straw, corn stalks, etc., and then water appropriately, keeping the soil moist regularly to facilitate seedling emergence. Sowing rate: 15 kg per hectare for drilling, 15-20 kg per hectare for broadcasting. Codonopsis pilosula seeds are small; to sow evenly, the seeds can be mixed with an appropriate amount of fine sand before sowing. Direct

How to Choose Land for Codonopsis Planting? These Methods Must Be Mastered
Codonopsis is a deep-rooted plant, and mature plants prefer light, so it is best to choose deep, fertile, sunny sandy loam for cultivation. Low-lying, waterlogged, and heavy clay soil is not suitable for cultivation; water accumulation in the soil easily causes root rot, poor aboveground plant growth, and low yield with poor quality. Slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.5-7 is preferable. Legume and grass family crops are best as the previous crop; vegetable crops as the previous crop are prone to disease and should not be chosen. Continuous cropping is prohibited, and generally 3-4 years should pass before replanting.

Soil preparation methods and key technical points for Codonopsis pilosula cultivation
Both spring plowing and autumn plowing are acceptable, but autumn plowing is preferable. Before plowing, spread 30,000-50,000 kg of decomposed farmyard manure or compost per hectare, then plow to a depth of 25-30 cm, harrow fine and level. Codonopsis pilosula (poor man's ginseng) is suited to bed cultivation, with a bed width of 120 cm; on high, dry terrain flat beds can be made, while on lower terrain raised beds of 10-15 cm can be made. In some places ridge cultivation is practiced; to increase the number of plants per unit area, make small ridges of 50 cm, or make wide ridges of 60 cm with double-row planting.

A Detailed Guide to the Planting Methods and Key Technical Points for Codonopsis pilosula
Codonopsis pilosula: mainly produced in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan and the Northeast region. Codonopsis pilosula var. modesta: mainly produced in western Sichuan and parts of Gansu. Codonopsis tangshen: mainly in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou and other provinces. [Medicinal material characteristics] Codonopsis pilosula: the root is long and cylindrical, slightly curved, 10-35 cm long, 0.4-2 cm in diameter. The surface is yellow-brown to grayish-brown; the root head has numerous warty, protruding stem scars and buds, with the tip of each stem scar appearing as a sunken round dot; below the root head there are dense ring-like

Symptom Identification and Control Methods of Root Rot in Codonopsis pilosula
The pathogen is a type of imperfect fungus among the fungi, and it is divided into two types: chronic onset and acute onset. In the chronic type, the disease begins in mid to late May. In the early stage of the disease, dark purple lesions appear on the lower fibrous roots or lateral roots, which then turn black and rot. After the disease spreads to the main root, it gradually rots from bottom to top. The remaining unrotted part is mostly a "half-section ginseng," and the area near the rotted part is dark brown. The stems and leaves above ground gradually turn yellow and eventually die. In the acute type, the disease mostly begins in mid to late June. Once the ginseng root is infected, almost the entire ginseng root becomes diseased at the same time

What are the control methods for rodent damage to codonopsis (Codonopsis pilosula)?
They begin to damage the seedlings when the seedlings emerge 5 cm above ground. Control methods: (1) Mix 1 part of 3% zinc phosphide with 95 parts of green vegetables, beans, rice, etc.; after mixing well, scatter the bait in the evening in places where rats frequently appear or at their burrows. (2) Mix 1 part of 0.5% bromadiolone evenly with 3 parts of flour, then add cut apple pieces, vegetables, and fried dough sticks (cut into 1 cm pieces) and mix them evenly to coat; this can be placed in the evening in places where rats are frequently active. Alternatively, use 2.5% phorate granules at 1500 g per 667 sq m mixed with 10 kg of fine soil and scatter it along the edges of beds and ridges to drive rats away; be careful not to scatter it on the seedlings.
