Treating Chinese medicinal herb seeds before sowing plays a major role in preventing and controlling pests and diseases, increasing the germination rate, and achieving uniform, complete, and vigorous seedlings. It is the primary prerequisite for stable and high yields, and can generally increase yields by 5%-20%. The treatment methods for licorice seeds are described below: licorice seeds have a thick and hard seed coat, making it difficult for the seeds to germinate. The seed coat can be broken by 3 methods: 1. Use a rice milling machine's high-speed rolling to make the seeds rub and collide with each other, damaging the seed coat (suitable for treating large quantities of seeds); 2. Mix the seeds with coarse sand and grind together for 5-10 minutes (suitable for treating small quantities of seeds
