Scutellaria baicalensis can grow in areas with an annual average temperature of 4-10°C, an annual accumulated temperature of 2500-4000°C at ≥10°C, and a frost-free period of 120-180 days. Suitable soil conditions for sowing: deep soil layers, good drainage, loam, sandy loam or humus loam, and both flat land and gentle slopes are suitable. It is even better if irrigation is available. It can also be grown between rows of young fruit trees and on sunny wasteland.
For seed treatment and sowing methods for Scutellaria baicalensis, you can refer to the following methods:
1. Pre-sowing seed treatment: Soak the seeds in warm water at 40-45°C for 5-6 hours, or soak them in tap water at room temperature for 12-24 hours, remove them and let them dry slightly, then place them at about 20°C with moisture to promote germination, and sow once some seeds have cracked and sprouted.
2. Direct seeding technique: ① When soil moisture is ensured, the sowing period is best around mid-April, when the soil temperature at 5 cm underground is stable at 15°C. Generally, spring sowing is in March-April, and autumn sowing is in September-October. The sowing methods are broadcast sowing, dibbling, and drilling in rows. Generally, it is better to sow shallowly rather than deeply, so as to avoid weak seedlings.
② Sowing rate: 0.8-1 kg of dry seeds per mu.
③ Sowing method and technique: After sowing, cover with 2-2.5 cm of fine moist soil, and press and cover the ground in good time, keeping the soil moist until emergence.
