(1) Site selection and land preparation: Licorice has strong adaptability and can be grown in general soils, but sandy loam with deep, loose, well-drained soil is best. Combined with autumn deep plowing, apply 2000 kg of decomposed farmyard manure per mu, and 20 kg of diammonium phosphate or superphosphate, then rake level, harrow fine, and make beds. (2) Seedling raising and stand maintenance: Seedlings can be sown in early May. Before sowing, water the seedling plot thoroughly; when the soil surface is slightly dry, drill sow with a narrow-row seeder, using 8-10 kg of seed per mu, maintaining 100,000-120,000 plants. After the seedlings emerge evenly, water to preserve soil moisture, and keep the field free of weeds during the growing period. When the seedlings grow to 10-15 cm, apply 1 topdressing of urea with irrigation, at 10 kg per mu. In the later growth stage, water as appropriate depending on the weather.

(3) Transplanting method: Transplanting is carried out in late April of the second year after seedling raising. Use the "ridge onion method" to transplant at 12,000-16,000 plants per mu (the specific method is the same as for Astragalus membranaceus). Generally, oblique planting is mostly used, and flat planting can also be used in sandy land. Strengthen field management during the growing period.
