How much does a Paris polyphylla seedling cost per plant? Grow it this way and yields are guaranteed
Paris polyphylla is a medicinal herb commonly found in the valleys, along streams, or in the shady, damp understory of broadleaf forests in China. Because it has heat-clearing and detoxifying, swelling-reducing and pain-relieving effects, it is widely used as medicine. At present, many regions are also cultivating it artificially, so how much does a Paris polyphylla seedling cost per plant? How do you grow it for high yields?
I. Introduction to Paris polyphylla:
1. What else is Paris polyphylla called?
Hua Paris polyphylla, seven-leaf lotus, iron lampstand, caoheche, zhihuatou, luosiqui, seven leaves and one flower, dengtaiqi, zaoxiu, baiheche, hailuoqi.
2. Where does Paris polyphylla come from?
There are many places of origin for Paris polyphylla. In China, it is distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. Among them, Paris polyphylla is mainly distributed in the southwestern region (Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan) and other places; seven leaves and one flower is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places.
3. Morphological characteristics of Paris polyphylla:
Paris polyphylla is 30-100 cm tall, with an upright stem. The leaves grow at the top of the stem, 5-8 in number, and are oblong-lanceolate, obovate-lanceolate or oblanceolate; the pedicel emerges from the top of the stem and bears one flower, which is purplish red or greenish purple. Because it looks like a single flower, it is also called seven leaves and one flower.
II. How much does a Paris polyphylla seedling cost per plant?
1. Sold by plant: There are many places of origin for Paris polyphylla, so seedling prices also vary. Generally, prices in the Yunnan area are relatively high, at about 3-4 yuan per plant, though in some areas it is relatively cheap, generally 1 yuan per plant, and some are sold at 1.3 yuan per plant, so the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market.
2. Sold by weight: Paris polyphylla seedlings are also sold by weight. If sold by weight, it is generally about 450-500 yuan per kilogram, but in some areas it is relatively cheap, generally about 1.5-2.2 yuan per jin, so the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market.
3. Since the current market demand for Paris polyphylla is not very high, the price will also change to some extent depending on demand and the size of the planting area. However, even at its highest it will not exceed 500 yuan per kilogram, so the market price is still fairly stable.
III. How do you grow Paris polyphylla?
Paris polyphylla is easy to grow. Generally, high yields can be achieved as long as basic management work such as soil and light is done well, so it is also very easy to cultivate artificially. The specific planting methods are as follows:
1. Soil selection: Loose humus soil, night-damp soil, gray foam soil and similar soils are best
Paris polyphylla does not have high soil requirements. Generally, as long as the soil is loose and has good drainage and water retention, it is fine, so when choosing soil, try to choose shaded flat land or forest land. If there is no forest land or flat land, you can also choose loose-textured night-damp soil or humus soil with good water retention and drainage for planting.
2. Land preparation and fertilization: Apply about 3000 kg of miscellaneous fertilizer or humus fertilizer per mu
Paris polyphylla does not have high fertilizer requirements. Generally, applying about 3000 kg of farmyard manure or forest humus fertilizer per mu is enough. However, because its root system is not deep, when preparing the land, try to make ridges about 150 cm wide to promote root growth of Paris polyphylla.
3. Thinning and replanting: Thinning and replanting in May is best
In mid-to-late May, Paris polyphylla has already grown seedlings, and at this time the seedlings can be thinned and replanted. Before thinning, try to use a wooden pry to remove excess short seedlings or diseased seedlings, so as to ensure that normal plants have sufficient nutrients. For dense seedlings, they can be transplanted to places with no seedlings or where density is relatively high, so as to ensure uniform density among seedlings and better growth.
4. Cultivation and weeding: Late May to early June is best
After Paris polyphylla grows for a period of time, various weeds will grow and absorb the plant's nutrients, so from late May to early June, the weeds should be removed and the soil loosened frequently to prevent soil compaction from affecting root growth.
5. Timely shading: Use shade netting for shade
Paris polyphylla likes shade and cannot tolerate strong light. Generally, giving it a certain amount of light is enough, so after emergence or transplanting, use shade netting to shade it in order to promote plant growth. If there is no shade netting, branches can be used for shade.
6. Fertilizer control: Apply an appropriate amount of farmyard manure or barnyard manure in June
From mid-June to August, Paris polyphylla grows fastest and has relatively high fertilizer needs, so in early June, an appropriate amount of farmyard manure or barnyard manure can be added to promote plant growth. Generally, about 3000 kg of cattle and sheep barnyard manure or farmyard manure per mu is best.
7. Timely harvesting: November-December to the following spring is best for harvesting
From November to the following spring, most Paris polyphylla tubers grow in the topsoil, making them easier to dig at this time. After digging, wash them, slice them and dry them in the sun, and they can be used as medicinal material.
IV. How much does Paris polyphylla cost per jin on the market?
Market prices for Paris polyphylla vary. Generally, at the beginning of the year the market price is highest. When supply is low, the price stays at about 550-600 yuan per jin. At present, the price of general goods on the market is about 450-600 yuan per jin, but in some areas it can also be bought at about 350-380 yuan per jin, so the specific price still needs to be determined according to market demand and market supply.
In summary, the price of Paris polyphylla seedlings is relatively affordable, but due to differences in market demand and place of origin, market prices will also differ to some extent, so when purchasing, try to check the local market. In addition, when planting Paris polyphylla, try to do basic management work such as fertilizer, water and shading well, and high yields can be achieved.
