When to harvest Panax notoginseng? An analysis of the best harvest time

Panax notoginseng generally reaches its harvest period in the third year after planting. The harvest time is mostly concentrated before flowering in autumn, and late summer to early autumn is exactly the harvest season.

1. When to harvest Panax notoginseng

Panax notoginseng is divided into spring Panax notoginseng and winter Panax notoginseng. Spring Panax notoginseng refers to Panax notoginseng that is not kept for seed, and it is generally harvested around October. The Panax notoginseng harvested at this time is plump, and its medicinal efficacy and properties are relatively good, so the quality of the Panax notoginseng is optimal. Winter Panax notoginseng refers to Panax notoginseng harvested after the seeds are kept. Because the seeds are kept, the harvested Panax notoginseng is not plump, and its medicinal efficacy is somewhat worse than that of spring Panax notoginseng. It is a second-grade Panax notoginseng. Therefore, Panax notoginseng generally harvested in October is the best.

2. The price of Panax notoginseng powder

1) High-quality Panax notoginseng powder is about 500-900 yuan per jin. This type of Panax notoginseng requires more careful cultivation by farmers, so the cost and quality are naturally higher.

2) Ordinary-quality Panax notoginseng powder is about 100-400 yuan per jin. This type of Panax notoginseng may not have grown in conditions as good as those of the highest-quality batch, but it has no major effect when consumed daily.

3) Low-quality Panax notoginseng powder is about several dozen yuan per jin. Panax notoginseng that can be bought on the market for a two-digit price has no quality guarantee, and eating it does not help the body either.
