What causes Gastrodia elata to rot

Medicinal Herb Cultivation 0 views
This is because when Gastrodia elata is cultivated in raised beds and pits, it is covered with 40 cm of fresh tree leaves and undecomposed fallen leaves before freezing to protect it from the cold. The sawdust and fallen leaves themselves contain a certain amount of moisture and organic matter. When 40 cm of fallen leaves pile up together, during the oxidation reaction (fermentation) process, a large amount of heat is generated, causing the Gastrodia elata bed and pit to heat up, with temperatures reaching 34°C. If close attention is not paid and temperature and humidity are not controlled in time, over time the Gastrodia elata will rot from the heat even in winter.

If close attention is not paid and temperature and humidity are not controlled in time, over time the Gastrodia elata will rot from the heat even in winter. In the high-cold forest areas of Jilin Province, 15 cm of fallen leaves can be covered before freezing, then 20-30 cm of soil on top, and in this way it will be safe and sound.
