What is the typical per-mu yield of Pinellia ternata in jin?
Pinellia ternata is usually propagated by tubers and can be planted three times and harvested three times a year, that is, the first planting in April, harvested around June 20; the second from August 10-20, and the third from September 10-15. These three times of sprout withering, that is, three times of bulbils maturing and three times of earthing up or taking bulbils for separate planting, are also a stage of growth, development and maturation of the underground corms. However, when cultivated at home, it is generally harvested once after autumn, the reason being to let the dry Pinellia ternata grow continuously in the ground and expand the underground corms.
During field management, plastic film not only maintains soil moisture, but can also raise the ground temperature by about 4°C, enabling Pinellia ternata to enter the growth period 20 days earlier and giving a high yield. Remove the plastic film when seedlings emerge. Corn or @#@245@#@ can be intercropped in the furrows. In summer, a layer of wheat chaff can be spread between the rows. This can not only lower the ground temperature by 4-5°C, but also increase the soil moisture content by 3-5%, and can increase the yield by 20-50%. In the hot summer, when there is a lot of rain in the middle and late stages, the wheat chaff covering should be removed promptly according to the soil moisture conditions to prevent the mother corms from rotting.
