How to Choose and Prepare the Land for Angelica sinensis Cultivation? Detailed Explanation of Key Technical Points

    Suitable Growing Range Angelica sinensis grows well in high mountains at an altitude of 1500-3000 m under natural conditions with relatively high air humidity. The soil should preferably be slightly acidic to neutral sandy loam or humus loam that is deep, loose, fertile and well drained. Continuous cropping should be avoided.

    Land Selection and Preparation Choose a half-shaded, half-sunny slope, and the soil should preferably be fertile, loose, humus-rich neutral or slightly acidic sandy loam. Deeply plow the land 20—25 cm, apply 30--60 kg of compound fertilizer, rake finely and level. Generally, open furrows and make beds at 1 m, with a furrow width of 30 cm and a bed height of about 25 cm, and open drainage ditches around the perimeter to facilitate drainage. The previous crop should preferably be wheat, hemp, flax, rapeseed, etc., and potato and legume plots should not be chosen.
