Detailed Explanation of Gastrodia Planting Methods and Key Technical Points
① Asexual propagation cultivation method: The planting method that uses the tubers of Gastrodia as propagation material is called the asexual cultivation method.
② Active fungal wood plus new wood companion planting method: Dig pits according to the specific conditions of the planting site. The pit width should be 6-8 cm wider than the length of the fungal wood. The pit length is not fixed; it is suitable if 5-20 pieces of fungal wood can be placed. The pit depth depends on local conditions. Loosen the pit bottom by 6-10 cm and shape it into a slope, then the fungal wood can be laid out and Gastrodia planted.
③ Sexual propagation method: The planting method that uses seeds as propagation material is called the sexual propagation cultivation method. The white-headed hemp and rice hemp produced by seed propagation are used as seed tubers. They have strong vitality, are not easily degraded, and have a large propagation coefficient, making this an important approach for cultivating Gastrodia.
