The best planting time for fragrant solomonseal rhizome and 6 key planting points, with a yield of up to 10,000 jin per mu

At first hearing, the name fragrant solomonseal rhizome (Yuzhu) sounds related to bamboo, but this Yuzhu actually has nothing to do with bamboo; it is only somewhat similar to bamboo leaves. It is a type of Chinese medicinal herb with the effect of lowering the "three highs". What Chinese medicine shops sell is its dried finished product, generally priced at around 30 yuan per jin. Many medicinal herb growers saw the profit in between and began to plant Yuzhu, but because it was their first time planting and they had no experience, they did not know when Yuzhu is best planted? What are the key points of planting techniques? They are summarized as follows:

I. When is the best time to plant Yuzhu?

We all know that vegetables and crops are generally planted in spring and autumn, and few things are planted in summer and winter. Yuzhu is the same. Generally, medicinal herb growers choose to plant it in autumn and spring, but in some relatively cold places, the planting time will also be postponed. The details are as follows:

1. When is the best time to plant Yuzhu in spring? The best time for spring sowing of Yuzhu is from March to April, but this planting time is suitable for planting in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places, and is not suitable for planting in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning in Northeast China. Generally, in Northeast China, spring planting should wait until the temperature rises above 5 degrees, and the best time for seeds is in mid-April.

2. When is the best time to plant Yuzhu in autumn? The best time for autumn sowing of Yuzhu is during the three months from August to October. For these months, there is no need to distinguish different regions, because the temperature difference will not be very large.

The above are the best months for planting Yuzhu, which will be helpful to you if you want to know about the planting time of Yuzhu.

II. Yuzhu planting techniques: master 6 planting key points to achieve a yield of 10,000 jin per mu and good returns!

Since it is your first time planting Yuzhu, you certainly do not understand high-yield planting techniques. If you want to achieve high-yield returns, you must master the following points:

1. Variety selection

The varieties planted in different regions will be different. In some regions, due to year-round drought, people want to buy drought-resistant varieties; in some relatively cold regions, people want to buy cold-resistant varieties. Specifically, the following varieties are available for everyone to choose from.

(1) Xiang Yuzhu, suitable planting areas: Hunan Province, Shaoyang, Shaodong, Hengyang.

(2) Haimen Yuzhu, suitable planting areas: Jiangsu Province, Haimen, Nantong.

(3) Xi Yuzhu, suitable planting areas: Guangdong Province, mainly produced in Lian County.

(4) Dong Yuzhu, suitable planting areas: Zhejiang Province, Xinchang and other places.

(5) Guan Yuzhu, suitable planting areas: Northeast China and Inner Mongolia.

(6) Jiangbei Yuzhu, suitable planting areas: Jiangsu, Anhui and other places.

2. Soil selection and land preparation

Experienced old farmers who grow Yuzhu tell us that choosing sandy soil to plant Yuzhu is best, because it is beneficial to the later growth of Yuzhu. When choosing land, generally choose plots that are often cultivated, because it cannot be continuously cropped; continuous cropping will lead to reduced yield. Before planting, the soil must be loosened to more than 30 cm. One mu of land needs 4000 kg of base fertilizer, among which applying farmyard manure is best. Then, when preparing the land, be sure to level the land and make drainage ditches well to facilitate later drainage.

3. Planting method

It is best to plant when the weather is relatively sunny or cloudy. With a row spacing controlled at 30 cm, one plant can be planted. After planting, gently cover it with farmyard cow dung fertilizer, then cover it with a layer of fine soil. At this time, a little water can be applied appropriately, but do not water too much. Generally, wait 15 days and then water thoroughly.

4. Density control

Because it is your first time planting Yuzhu and you have no experience, in order to plant more in the field, you may plant very densely. What we need to know is that if planted too densely, the field ventilation will become poor, making it very easy for disease to occur. If it encounters rainy days, it will rot easily. Therefore, the density is best controlled at around 40 cm. Only by doing this can high yield be achieved.

5. Fertilizer and water management

Before planting, everyone was told to apply enough base fertilizer. Generally, in the first year there is no need to topdress again, but if you find that the growth is not very good and even the leaves turn yellow, it means your previous base fertilizer was insufficient and topdressing is needed to supplement nutrients. Generally, compound fertilizer is chosen for topdressing. If the above situation does not occur in the first year, then topdress once in the early spring of the second year. Yuzhu relatively likes moisture, so water it when there is nothing else to do in daily life, especially during drought. During seasons with a lot of rain, pay attention to drainage, otherwise the roots will rot easily.

6. Pest and disease control

When planting Yuzhu, pest and disease control cannot be avoided. Common diseases are root rot, leaf spot and gray spot. The main cause of these three diseases is excessive moisture or insufficient water, so be sure to walk around the field more. Generally, Bordeaux mixture can cure them. The common pest of Yuzhu is the white grub, which will damage the tubers of Yuzhu. At this time, trichlorfon must be used for control, otherwise the yield will be affected.

The above are the 6 key points of Yuzhu planting techniques. Save them quickly!

Summary: The above content is some knowledge points to note when planting Yuzhu. If you master them well, then when harvesting three years later, a yield of 10,000 jin per mu and good returns will not be a problem. This article is compiled from professional Yuzhu growers.
