I. Introduction to Coptis chinensis:

1. What are the producing areas of Coptis chinensis?

There are many producing areas for Coptis chinensis. In China, it is planted in mountainous areas and valleys at altitudes of 500-2000 m in Shaanxi, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou and other places. At present, it is artificially planted in many areas, and of course there is also a lot of wild Coptis chinensis in the mountains.

2. What varieties of Coptis chinensis are there?

Coptis chinensis is divided into three varieties: Weilian, Yalian, and Yunlian. Among them, Yunlian is produced in Yunnan and generally blooms and bears fruit from February to June. Weilian and Yalian are produced in Sichuan, and Yalian generally blooms from March to April and bears fruit from April to June.

II. How much does one jin of Coptis chinensis cost now?

The market price of Coptis chinensis varies, roughly around 60-90 yuan per jin, but due to differences in variety, market, and producing area, there will be certain differences in price. For example, at Shajing Wancao Traditional Chinese Medicine Firm in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, the selling price is about 75 yuan per jin; at the Sichuan Hehuachi market, the uniform price of single-branch Coptis chinensis is about 60-62 yuan per jin; at the Guangxi Yulin market, the uniform price of single-branch Coptis chinensis is about 65 yuan per jin; at the Anhui Bozhou market, the uniform price of single-branch Coptis chinensis is about 60-62 yuan per jin. Therefore, the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market.

III. What field management techniques are there for Coptis chinensis?

1. Water and fertilizer requirements: How often should fertilizer be applied?

During the seedling growth period of Coptis chinensis, low-concentration manure and urine water can be applied 3-4 times. After transplanting, apply one application of dilute manure water first. In spring, apply one application of quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer. Then in autumn, apply one more application of farmyard manure. Generally, 1500 kg per mu is sufficient. Do not apply too much, so as to avoid burning the seedlings.

2. Replenishing and finalizing seedlings: When is the best time to replenish and finalize seedlings?

When Coptis chinensis seedlings grow to 8-15 cm, dead seedlings and withered seedlings can be promptly removed, and dense seedlings can be promptly transplanted to places without seedlings, so as to ensure uniform growth of all seedlings. After transplanting seedlings, also observe the growth of seedlings in the field at all times, and promptly remove withered seedlings to ensure a full stand of seedlings in the field.

3. Intertillage and weeding: When is the best time for intertillage and weeding?

During the growth period of Coptis chinensis seedlings, intertillage and weeding should be carried out 3-5 times. When loosening the soil, it must be done gently to prevent root damage. After transplanting, intertillage and weeding 2-3 times each year is sufficient. Generally, loosening the soil is best done after rain, and care must be taken not to damage the roots. For areas with relatively many weeds, manual pulling can be carried out.

4. Light requirements: What are the requirements for light?

Coptis chinensis does not have high light requirements, especially in the first three years when it does not need much light. Therefore, before emergence, a shade shed can be built so that it receives a little light within 1-3 years. By the fourth year, the light intensity can be increased, and in this way Coptis chinensis can grow very well.

5. Pest and disease control: How to control them?

During the growth period of Coptis chinensis, pests and diseases such as powdery mildew, white grubs, and mole crickets will occur, so prevention and control measures should be taken in advance. For those already affected by pests and diseases, lime sulfur mixture can be sprayed or poisoned bait can be used for trapping and killing control.

The above is a detailed introduction to the market price of Coptis chinensis and field planting management techniques. I hope it is helpful to everyone.
