A Complete Analysis of the Latest Propagation Methods for Atractylodes lancea

Atractylodes lancea is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, and its medicinal effects are relatively strong. In China, Atractylodes lancea is broadly divided into two types, distinguished as southern and northern Atractylodes lancea. Atractylodes lancea is currently mainly distributed in areas such as Heilongjiang and Henan in China. Its planting area is relatively large, but when growing Atractylodes lancea, how to propagate it is a question many people care about. So today, the editor brings you the propagation methods for Atractylodes lancea. Let's take a look!

1. Division propagation

Division propagation is a commonly used propagation method for Atractylodes lancea. When using division propagation, it is generally done around May each year, because May is the time when Atractylodes lancea sprouts new shoots. At this time, we should choose a robust, pest- and disease-free old plant as the mother plant for division. Then properly divide the rhizome into several pieces, wash the soil off the roots, and each small rhizome piece must carry about two small buds. After treating them, control the planting density and plant them in the field, then strengthen management to promote rooting and sprouting.

2. Rhizome propagation

Rhizome propagation is mainly done at the time of harvesting Atractylodes lancea, also selecting robust plants with dense and well-developed root groups. Then dig out the rhizome, and the rhizome must also be guaranteed to have a certain number of buds, while the rest can be sold on the market as medicinal material. Then do a good job of healing and drying the cut surfaces; if you want to increase the survival rate. Then before planting, you can also carry out disinfection and sprouting promotion work. After the preparatory work is done, control the plant and row spacing, keeping it at about 20 cm, dig the planting holes, put one rhizome piece into each planting hole, then cover with soil and water, and press it firm.

3. Seed propagation

Seed propagation is generally carried out around Qingming Festival each year. First, choose a plot with sufficient sunlight as the seedling bed, then do a good job of land preparation and fertilization, and make beds ready for sowing. The sowing method is generally mainly drilling, with the furrow spacing controlled at about 22 cm and the depth kept at about 3 cm. Sow the seeds into the furrows, then cover with soil. After sowing, in order to improve the soil's heat preservation and moisture retention capacity, also cover with a layer of rice soil. And water frequently to increase the soil's moisture content. When the seedlings break through the soil, uncover the rice straw, and carry out thinning when they are about 3 cm tall; at 0.1 m they can be transplanted and set out.

The above is a brief introduction to the propagation methods of Atractylodes lancea. There are many propagation methods for Atractylodes lancea, and we should mainly choose reasonably according to our own planting habits and planting direction. That is all for today's introduction.
