Detailed cultivation techniques for Angelica sinensis: master the planting and management methods

Medicinal Herb Cultivation 0 views
Angelica sinensis is propagated by raising seedlings from seed and then transplanting. In lower-altitude areas (1500-1800 m), there is also autumn direct sowing harvested the following year, or spring direct sowing harvested the same year, but the yield and quality are lower. For the seedling bed, choose a cool and moist shaded slope or semi-shaded slope, a hollow or small basin that retains water but does not become waterlogged, rather than a dry, wind-swept ridge. The soil should be loose and fertile, free of stones, either large dark soil or black oil sand; generally, virgin wasteland is chosen for raising seedlings. On the leveled plot, make high beds 1 m wide, and in mid-to-late June, while the soil is moist, spread the seeds

Angelica sinensis is propagated by raising seedlings from seed and then transplanting. In lower-altitude areas (1500-1800 m), there is also autumn direct sowing harvested the following year, or spring direct sowing harvested the same year, but the yield and quality are lower.

For the seedling bed, choose a cool and moist shaded slope or semi-shaded slope, a hollow or small basin that retains water but does not become waterlogged, rather than a dry, wind-swept ridge. The soil should be loose and fertile, free of stones, either large dark soil or black oil sand; generally, virgin wasteland is chosen for raising seedlings. On the leveled plot, make high beds 1 m wide, and in mid-to-late June, while the soil is moist, spread the seeds evenly over the bed surface, cover with soil and bury them firmly, tread once with the feet, then rake smooth with an iron rake. To preserve soil moisture, cover the bed surface with about 3.3 cm of brushwood and straw. After the seedlings emerge uniformly, thin them where they are too dense. Around Cold Dew, dig up the seedlings and store them in a cool, dry place. After the ground thaws the following spring, prepare the land and plant in holes. Transplanting is carried out from Qingming to Guyu. When transplanting, plow and rake level as you go, then immediately open holes and plant the seedlings. Generally, the holes are 16.5 cm deep, with row spacing of 23-33 cm and hole spacing of 20-23 cm, arranged in a triangle. Plant 3 seedlings per hole and cover with 1.65-3.3 cm of soil. After transplanting, the young seedlings generally need to be hoed 3-4 times. If bolting plants are found, pull them out immediately, and at the same time apply oil-based fertilizer as a top dressing.

Angelica sinensis is prone to root rot, which can be controlled by spraying a 1000-fold dilution of 50% Tuijunte; after brown spot occurs, immediately prune off the diseased leaves, then spray a 500-fold dilution of 65% zineb for control.
