1. Disinfection of ginseng seeds before sowing:Before sowing, ginseng seeds are treated with Shileshi seed coating. First, dilute one bottle of 2.5% Shileshi suspension seed coating agent evenly with 0.5-1 kg of water, then place 25 kg of ginseng seeds in a large basin or on plastic sheeting, slowly pour the diluted solution over the seeds, mix well, and let them dry slightly in the shade before sowing.
2. Selection of ginseng seedling field:The soil of the ginseng seedling field should preferably be loam or sandy loam. The ratio of yellow soil to black soil in the seedling field is 6:5.
3. Timing of ginseng seedling cultivation:Ginseng sowing generally has 2 sowing periods: spring sowing and autumn sowing. Spring sowing takes place in late April each year, once the soil has thawed. Spring sowing uses sprouted seeds that have undergone cold storage. Autumn sowing takes place from mid-October until the ground freezes, sowing seeds that have been sprouted to the standard.
4. Sowing methods for ginseng seeds:The main sowing methods in the ginseng seedling field are dibbling and drilling, 2 kinds. Dibbling uses a dibbler or a hand-held punch to sow manually, with 1-2 seeds per hole, covering with 3-5 cm of soil, and slightly pressing with a wooden board to help preserve moisture. For drilling, use a flat-bladed hoe to open a flat-bottomed furrow 5 cm deep on the prepared ginseng bed with a row spacing of 8 cm, evenly scatter the seeds in the furrow, cover with 3-5 cm of soil, and press lightly with a wooden board.
5. Sowing rate of ginseng seeds:This is generally calculated by the weight of dry seeds required per square meter, generally around 20-25 grams. For sowing water seeds (shade-dried for 3 days), the amount per square meter can be increased by 40-60%; for sprouted seeds, the amount per square meter is about 2 times or more than 2 times that of dry seeds. After sowing, it should be pressed at the appropriate time.
