Detailed Guide to Atractylodes Planting Technology and Management Methods

Prepare a piece of neutral or slightly acidic sandy loam with sufficient fertility and rich humus, deep plow and apply enough base fertilizer, and form ridges. Then plant the seedlings into the soil at a row spacing of 25*15cm. After successful planting, carry out basic management work such as weeding, watering and fertilizing, and pest and disease control.

What are the precautions for planting Atractylodes?

1. Soil

Atractylodes is a plant that prefers cool conditions and light. Although it likes light, it is also afraid of strong light, so when choosing a planting site, the issue of light should be the main consideration. It is best to choose a semi-sunny area. Next, the planting site should have abundant fertility and be sandy soil or loam with good drainage and irrigation. At the same time, the planting site should have a certain slope, but the slope should not be too steep, and the planting site should be close to a water source.

2. Time

The planting time of Atractylodes should be analyzed according to specific conditions. Because there are certain differences in temperature and climate among regions of our country, the planting time of Atractylodes itself differs. Next, the planting method of Atractylodes also determines its planting time, but according to the most common planting method, the planting time in most regions is generally around March or April.

3. Planting Out

Generally, when the Atractylodes seedlings grow to three or four centimeters, we need to thin out the denser areas in the field, and then when the Atractylodes seedlings grow to about ten to fifteen centimeters, we carry out final planting. When planting out, pay attention to using a reasonable density. Generally, a row spacing of thirty to thirty-five centimeters and a plant spacing of about twenty to twenty-five centimeters is sufficient. Each plant should have at least two seedlings, otherwise if it is too sparse, the yield will not be high.

4. Fertilizer and Water

When rainfall is relatively low and the weather is relatively dry, we need to water Atractylodes an appropriate amount to maintain the moisture for its normal growth. Next, on average, fertilization is needed about three times a year. Each time, we mainly use manure and urine water for irrigation, and for the last time, attention should be paid to adding an appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer and plant ash.

5. Pests and Diseases

During the growth process of Atractylodes, there are actually relatively few diseases, but the damage from aphids is relatively serious, because we all know that aphids run through every stage of plant growth. They not only harm the plant's branches and leaves, but also cause a certain degree of damage to the rhizome, so we need to carry out timely prevention and control, and can use dimethoate emulsion for spraying and killing.

The above is the relevant introduction to the planting technology of Atractylodes. I hope it is helpful to everyone.
