Medicinal Herb Cultivation 0 views
In traditional and conventional methods of cultivating Gastrodia elata, a certain quantity of Armillaria mellea wood must be cultivated 2 to 3 months in advance, also known as cultivating Armillaria mellea on wood logs. Only after the Armillaria mellea on wood logs has matured can it be planted together with fresh wood logs and branch logs of the same size as the Armillaria mellea wood logs, along with Gastrodia elata, that is, sowing Gastrodia elata. Because the sowing periods of Armillaria mellea and Gastrodia elata cannot be synchronized, the difficulty of Gastrodia elata cultivation is increased, which discourages many farmer friends who wish to grow Gastrodia elata to become wealthy. Nowadays, this "Armillaria mellea and Gastrodia elata sowing periods cannot be synchronized"

Because the sowing periods of Armillaria mellea and Gastrodia elata cannot be synchronized, the difficulty of Gastrodia elata cultivation is increased, which discourages many farmer friends who wish to grow Gastrodia elata to become wealthy.

Nowadays, this cultivation method of "Armillaria mellea and Gastrodia elata sowing periods cannot be synchronized" has been rewritten by the Edible Fungi and Gastrodia elata Breeding Farm of Yidu City, Hubei Province. They successfully explored the "synchronous sowing cultivation method of Gastrodia elata and Armillaria mellea," updating the complicated process of Gastrodia elata cultivation.

This method only requires cultivating bottled (bagged) branch-log Armillaria mellea spawn according to the process for making "Yifeng No. 4" branch-log Armillaria mellea, then breaking the branch-log Armillaria mellea spawn apart into Armillaria mellea branch logs. They can then be placed together with fresh miscellaneous tree wood logs, fresh miscellaneous tree branch logs, and "Yihongyou No. 1" sexually hybridized Gastrodia elata seeds, and sown and cultivated synchronously. Indoors, the "Gastrodia elata and Armillaria mellea sandbox synchronous cultivation method" is used, selecting 50 cm x 50 cm x 35 cm wooden boxes, bamboo baskets, and discarded pesticide boxes, with 10 kg to 12 kg of fresh wood logs and branch logs, 42 Gastrodia elata seeds, and 84 Armillaria mellea branch logs placed in each box; special wooden boxes of 50 cm x 100 cm x 35 cm can also be made for cultivation; or the "Gastrodia elata and Armillaria mellea sandbag synchronous cultivation method" can be used, using relatively strong large or medium plastic convenient bags, dividing the above materials for 1 box of cultivation into 2 equal portions and placing them in 2 plastic convenient bags. Outdoors, the "Gastrodia elata and Armillaria mellea bionic synchronous cultivation method" is used, placing wood logs, branch logs, Gastrodia elata seeds, and Armillaria mellea branch logs in field beds 80 cm wide, 10 cm deep, and of unlimited length. Winter planting is harvested after 10 to 12 months; spring planting is harvested after 6 to 7 months, with 10 kg to 15 kg of fresh Gastrodia elata harvestable per square meter, and the highest can exceed 20 kg.
