Asparagus cochinchinensis yields 6,000 to 8,000 jin of fresh roots per mu, and 600 to 800 jin of dried roots.

AbstractThe yield per mu of Asparagus cochinchinensis is mainly determined by its growing environment and cultivation techniques. Generally, Asparagus cochinchinensis needs to be grown for 2-3 years before it can be dug up. The yield of fresh Asparagus cochinchinensis roots per mu is about 6000-8000 jin, and the yield of dried Asparagus cochinchinensis roots per mu is about 600-800 jin.

I. Yield per mu of Asparagus cochinchinensis

1. Asparagus cochinchinensis has very high medicinal value and can nourish yin and moisten dryness, clear fire and relieve cough.

2. It mostly grows in warm and damp, shaded places, such as Xinmadun in Zhuhai, Yulin and Guigang in Guangxi, and other places.

3. When planting Asparagus cochinchinensis, never plant blindly; mature technical management is needed, otherwise the yield will be too low.

4. The yield per mu of Asparagus cochinchinensis is mainly determined by its growing environment and cultivation techniques. At present, the yield of fresh Asparagus cochinchinensis roots grown in the Guangxi area is about 6000-8000 jin per mu, and the yield of dried Asparagus cochinchinensis roots per mu is about 600-800 jin.

II. Production areas of Asparagus cochinchinensis

1. Asparagus cochinchinensis is both wild and cultivated. In the past, most of the Asparagus cochinchinensis on the market came from the wild, but as its price and demand gradually climbed, many farmers began to cultivate it.

2. The best growing environment for Asparagus cochinchinensis is the warm and humid south. Wild Asparagus cochinchinensis is relatively small in size and scarce in number, mainly distributed in the mountainous areas of Chongqing, Yongsheng in Yunnan, Zhongfang County in Hunan, Gulin in Sichuan, and other places.

3. Because cultivated Asparagus cochinchinensis has been improved, it is noticeably much larger, and with scientific management the yield is also very high.

4. Cultivated Asparagus cochinchinensis is mainly concentrated in Yulin, Guangxi, along the area around Zhangmu Village in Guangxi, such as Zhangmu Town, Shatian Town, Chengjun Town, Xingye County, Qiao in Guigang City, Qintang Town, Baise, and other places. The output of these areas accounts for more than half of the country's Asparagus cochinchinensis production. There is also a small amount of domestically cultivated Asparagus cochinchinensis in Lichuan, Hubei, and southwestern Guizhou.

III. Are the profits of Asparagus cochinchinensis high

1. The planting density of Asparagus cochinchinensis is about 2000 plants per mu. If calculated at a price of 2.5 yuan per plant, the cost of seedlings is about 5000 yuan.

2. Asparagus cochinchinensis needs to be planted for 2-3 years, so the paddy field fee is about 3000 yuan, and each year the labor cost for weeding, fertilizing and digging is about 4000 yuan. The estimated investment cost is nearly about 1500 yuan per mu.

3. The normal yield of Asparagus cochinchinensis is about 3000-4000 kg of fresh roots per mu, which is equivalent to about 300-400 kg of dried roots. The selling price of dried roots is about 80 yuan per kg, so the selling price can reach about 24,000-32,000 yuan. After deducting investment costs of about 10,000 yuan, a profit of about 14,000-22,000 yuan per mu can still be made. For growers, the profit margin is still relatively high.

4. However, when planting Asparagus cochinchinensis, the overall market situation must also be considered. Blindly following the trend of planting will inevitably lead to unsalable products and excessively low selling prices, which will affect enthusiasm for planting.

5. When planting, scientific planting methods must also be fully considered, and scientific and technological management measures should be adopted to increase the yield of Asparagus cochinchinensis, so that growers can obtain higher returns.
