Practical Tips for Intercropping and Seed Conservation of Fritillaria thunbergii

For intercropping with Fritillaria thunbergii, the seed field takes 3 to 4 months from sowing to emergence, and the seed plot is planted quite deep. To make full use of the land and fertility, vegetables and other crops can be intercropped, but as a rule they must be fully harvested before the Winter Solstice. Apply winter fertilizer to Fritillaria thunbergii. After April, intercrop sweet potato, peanut, soybean, cereal grains, eggplant and other crops between the rows of Fritillaria thunbergii. Once these crops grow up in mid to late May, the aboveground part of Fritillaria thunbergii has already withered; remove weeds and dead leaves so the intercrops provide shade and keep the fritillaria dormant. In September, dig and replant Fritillaria thunbergii, and the intercrops are also harvested.
