How to grow Angelica sinensis well? A detailed explanation of the key cultivation techniques
How to grow Angelica sinensis well? Please explain the method. Angelica sinensis is propagated by raising seedlings from seed and then transplanting. In lower-altitude areas (1500-1800 m), there is also autumn direct sowing harvested the following year, or spring direct sowing harvested the same year, but the yield and quality are lower. The seedling bed should be chosen on a cool, moist shady slope or semi-shady slope, in hollows or small basins that retain water but do not become waterlogged, rather than on dry, wind-swept ridges...

Angelica sinensis is propagated by raising seedlings from seed and then transplanting. In lower-altitude areas (1500-1800 m), there is also autumn direct sowing harvested the following year, or spring direct sowing harvested the same year, but the yield and quality are lower.
The seedling bed should be chosen on a cool, moist shady slope or semi-shady slope, in hollows or small basins that retain water but do not become waterlogged, rather than on dry, wind-swept ridges. The soil should be loose and fertile, with no stones, such as large black soil or black oil sand, and virgin land is generally chosen for raising seedlings. On the leveled plot, make raised beds 1 m wide, and in mid-to-late June, while the soil is moist, scatter the seeds evenly over the bed surface, cover with soil and bury them firmly, tread once with the feet, then rake smooth with an iron rake. To preserve moisture, cover the bed surface with about 3.3 cm of brushwood and straw. After the seedlings emerge completely, thin them out in places that are too dense. Around Cold Dew, dig out the seedlings and store them in a cool, dry place. After the ground thaws the following spring, prepare the land and plant in holes. Transplanting is carried out from Qingming to Guyu. When transplanting, plow and rake smooth as you go, then immediately open holes and plant the seedlings. Generally the holes are 16.5 cm deep, with a row spacing of 23-33 cm and a hole spacing of 20-23 cm, dug in a triangular arrangement. Plant 3 seedlings per hole and cover with 1.65-3.3 cm of soil. The seedlings after transplanting generally need to be hoed 3-4 times. If bolting plants are found, pull them out immediately, and at the same time apply oily fertilizer as a top dressing.
Angelica sinensis is prone to root rot, which can be controlled by spraying a 1000-fold dilution of 50% Tuzet; after brown spot disease occurs, immediately prune off the diseased leaves, then spray a 500-fold dilution of 65% zineb for control.
