What is the usual per-mu yield of Angelica dahurica?

SummaryThe per-mu yield of Angelica dahurica is usually around 500-600 kg. As long as management is done well, the benefit per mu of Angelica dahurica can reach around 10,000-15,000 yuan, and it is one of the preferred varieties among many medicinal herb crops. Angelica dahurica is a commonly used bulk medicinal herb, and it has the characteristics of a short growing cycle, high yield, and high returns.

1. Per-mu yield of Angelica dahurica

The per-mu yield of Angelica dahurica is generally above 500 kg, and each kg of Angelica dahurica can reach around 10 yuan. Angelica dahurica is simple to grow and relatively profitable, and its growing benefits are also higher than those of grain crops. Under these circumstances, the market for Angelica dahurica is very hot.

The cost of growing Angelica dahurica includes seeds, compound fertilizer, organic fertilizer, labor costs, herbicides, mechanical tillage fees, and so on. Growing Angelica dahurica requires about 5 kg of seeds per mu, around 50 kg of compound fertilizer, and around 100 kg of organic fertilizer.

2. Planting time for Angelica dahurica

The sowing period for Angelica dahurica is divided into two seasons, spring and autumn, and the planting time of Angelica dahurica is greatly related to the planting temperature.

1. Spring planting: The temperature suitable for the growth of Angelica dahurica is 15°C-28°C, so spring planting generally has to be after Qingming Festival. Before Qingming Festival, the temperature is still relatively low and there is also a lot of rain, which is not very suitable for the growth of Angelica dahurica.

2. Autumn planting: The temperature in autumn is relatively suitable for the growth of Angelica dahurica, but the autumn weather is relatively dry and there is relatively little rain. The growth of Angelica dahurica requires a certain amount of water. If it relies entirely on artificial irrigation, it is a very large project, so autumn planting is generally most suitable from the end of August to the beginning of September.

3. Precautions for growing Angelica dahurica

1. Seed cultivation

(1) If you are growing Angelica dahurica, you need to pre-sprout the Angelica dahurica seeds, otherwise their germination time is very slow.

(2) Generally, to treat Angelica dahurica seeds, put the seeds in warm water at about 40°C-50°C, soak them for 4-5 hours, and then rinse them in cold water.

(3) Then mix the seeds with some agents for disease prevention and control and for increasing resistance, and after three hours rinse them clean with clear water.

(4) Finally, we need to put the seeds in a 25°C environment for pre-sprouting. When 80% of the seeds have sprouted white, they can be sown. In this way, the survival rate of Angelica dahurica can be increased to a greater extent.

2. Planting density

(1) No matter what crop is grown, a certain spacing is needed so that the crop can grow better, so Angelica dahurica is no exception.

(2) The growth of Angelica dahurica is mainly about letting its roots continuously grow and develop so as to produce more rhizomes.

(3) Generally, the planting spacing for Angelica dahurica is 30 cm-35 cm between rows and 15 cm-20 cm between plants, so that the growth of Angelica dahurica can have a certain space for development.

(4) The growth of Angelica dahurica requires photosynthesis and respiration through its branches and leaves, so a reasonable density can also allow Angelica dahurica to absorb sufficient sunlight, thereby increasing the yield of Angelica dahurica.
