What are the latest precautions for growing Angelica sinensis?
Angelica sinensis is a perennial herb of the Umbelliferae family. It has the effects of tonifying the blood and invigorating blood circulation, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, and moistening dryness and lubricating the intestines. It mainly treats irregular menstruation, abdominal pain due to deficiency and cold, and traumatic injuries. It is an important traditional Chinese medicine in our country and also one of the traditional export commodities. So if we want to grow it, what should we mainly pay attention to? What growing conditions are needed? Come to Qinnong Net to see the precautions for growing Angelica sinensis.
1. Growing environment
Angelica sinensis is suitable for growing in areas with higher altitude. Lower altitude will affect the yield. Moreover, the quality is also poorer, and it easily causes early bolting. The Angelica sinensis of Minxian is world-famous precisely because it is grown in areas above 2400 m in altitude, so both its quality and yield far exceed those of Angelica sinensis grown in other areas.
2. Soil and fertilization
Angelica sinensis prefers fertile, loose humus soil with good drainage. This kind of soil can well provide the nutrients needed for the growth of Angelica sinensis. At the same time, Angelica sinensis is a fertilizer-loving plant and has a relatively large demand for fertility. Nitrogen fertilizer can promote plant growth and increase the accumulation of organic matter; phosphorus fertilizer can strengthen the root system and improve the absorption of nutrients and water; potassium fertilizer can promote photosynthesis and improve the quality of Angelica sinensis. Therefore, rational fertilization is very important, especially applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the later stage can improve the quality and yield of Angelica sinensis.
3. Temperature
Angelica sinensis is suitable for growing in areas with higher altitude, so it is suited to high-cold temperature conditions, and at the same time it is relatively sensitive to temperature. The optimal suitable growing temperature is between 20-24 degrees. Maintaining this temperature range during the seedling stage can allow it to emerge quickly.
4. Light
Angelica sinensis is a light-loving plant. In an environment with sufficient light, it grows quickly and robustly, and it is also easy to bolt. Insufficient light will affect the yield of Angelica sinensis. Therefore, when planting, choose sunny sloping land, and appropriately adjust the planting density during planting, which is beneficial to root growth.
The above is the full introduction to the precautions for growing Angelica sinensis. When growing Angelica sinensis, just follow the above few growing precautions. For more related agricultural knowledge, please follow Qinnong Net.
