Detailed Explanation of Notoginseng Planting Techniques and Management Key Points

For planting Panax notoginseng, sandy black loam soil is best. After sowing, cover with soil mixed with fertilizer, then spread a layer of turf on top. After one year, transplant to a different location. Adjust the transparency of the canopy appropriately. Remove field weeds in a timely manner, and fertilize four to eight times per year, and carry out manual watering. At the same time, pay attention to preventing and controlling pests and diseases.

1. For planting Panax notoginseng, sandy black loam soil is best, and planting on a shady, ventilated hillside is most suitable. In addition, before planting Panax notoginseng, it is best to build a canopy with wooden posts and wooden crossbeams, or build a canopy with wooden posts and wire. Remember to evenly scatter some well-rotted base fertilizer on the prepared raised beds, and mix it thoroughly with the soil.

2. After sowing Panax notoginseng seeds, cover with soil mixed with fertilizer, then spread a layer of turf on top, which can help the seeds germinate quickly.

3. Panax notoginseng that has undergone one year of seedling cultivation should be transplanted to a different location. The land prepared for transplanting Panax notoginseng must also be prepared in the same way as the seedling bed before proceeding. When transplanting, it is best to plant while covering with surface soil.

4. After planting Panax notoginseng, adjust the transparency of the canopy appropriately. The transparency in spring should be greater than in autumn and winter, and the transparency in summer should be the smallest.

5. During the seedling cultivation period and the post-transplant management period of Panax notoginseng, remove field weeds in a timely manner, and fertilize four to eight times per year, with topdressing about every one to two months; the fertilization times are successively after emergence, April, May, and July.

6. During the seedling period, Panax notoginseng needs manual watering (if the soil has nighttime moisture, it may not need watering). Use a sprinkler head to water until water runs off the surface of the raised bed. Generally, water thoroughly two to three times a month, and continue until the rainy season arrives, at which point it can be stopped.

7. During the planting process, pay attention to preventing and controlling damage to Panax notoginseng from yellow rust disease, anthracnose, black spot disease, and pests such as green peach aphids and slugs. Different pesticides should be applied for different pests and diseases.
