Kudzu can be propagated by layering, cuttings, seeds, root heads and other methods, with cuttings, layering and root head propagation being the more commonly used.
1. Layering propagation: when growth is lush in summer, select thick, disease-free and relatively old kudzu vines, and at every 1-2 nodes, loosen the soil beneath the node, pile soil over the node to press it, and bury the node in the soil. If the weather is too dry, water it to promote rooting. After rooting, apply dilute human and livestock manure water, and take care to remove weeds. Before sprouting in early spring of the following year, cut them into single plants, dig them up and plant them.
2. Cutting propagation: before sprouting in early spring, select thick kudzu vines with short nodes that have grown for 1-2 years, cut every 2-3 nodes into a section, and insert them directly into the production field.
3. Seed propagation: collect the pods in September-October when they are ripe, dry them in the air, thresh the seeds, winnow away impurities, and store them for later use. In the spring of the following year, sow them directly in the production field.
4. Root head propagation: when harvesting in winter, cut off root heads about 10 cm long and plant them directly in the production field.
