When is the nationally third-class protected plant Astragalus membranaceus planted? About how many years until harvest? What is the investment and profit per mu? (
Astragalus membranaceus, also known as Mianqi, Huangqi, Dushen, Shuzhi, Baiben, Baiyaomian, Huangshen, Xueshen, Renxian, etc., is a perennial herb, 50-100 cm tall. So when is Astragalus membranaceus planted? About how many years until harvest? What is the investment and profit per mu? According to grower Old Liu, Astragalus membranaceus can be harvested by its 3rd year. If harvested too early, the quality of Astragalus membranaceus is poor; if not harvested for many years, it very easily becomes black-hearted or lignified.
When is Astragalus membranaceus planted?
1. The sowing time for Astragalus membranaceus seeds is fairly flexible; sowing can conveniently be done in all three seasons of spring, summer and autumn. Of course, the climate conditions differ from place to place, so the corresponding specific times also differ.
Generally, the northern regions of our country are somewhat colder, so sowing times there come late in spring and early in autumn, while the southern regions of our country sow early in spring and late in autumn, making the timing easier to manage.
Because the specific climate of each place is different, everyone must also flexibly grasp the sowing time for Astragalus membranaceus seeds.
2. The planting cycle of Astragalus membranaceus is generally 20 days. The growth stages are respectively: seedling stage——growth stage——flowering stage——fruiting stage——withering.
What is the investment and profit per mu for Astragalus membranaceus?
Investment:
1. Each mu of land needs 50 kg of good Astragalus membranaceus seedlings. The current market price of good Astragalus membranaceus seedlings is 26 yuan/kg, so 50 kg×26 yuan=1250 yuan.
2. Locally the land is mostly mountainous, and plowing each mu of land costs 100 yuan.
3. Planting one mu of land requires 3 people for one day, each person's wage is 50 yuan, so 3 people×50 yuan=150 yuan.
4. During the 9-month growth cycle, weeding requires 5 work hours, and each work hour costs 40 yuan: 5 people×40 yuan=200 yuan.
5. Each mu needs 1 bag of chemical fertilizer, and each bag costs 210 yuan.
6. For the October autumn harvest, each mu requires 12 people for one day of digging, and each person's wage is 80 yuan: 12 people×80 yuan=960 yuan.
The total planting cost for one mu of Astragalus membranaceus is 2870 yuan. (For reference only)
Profit:
1. At the autumn harvest, Astragalus membranaceus yields an average of 1500 jin of fresh product per mu, and the average selling price per market jin of fresh product is 3 yuan: 1500 jin×3 yuan=4500 yuan.
2. Income minus cost: income 4500 yuan - planting cost 2870 yuan=1630 yuan. The income per mu of Astragalus membranaceus is about 1630 yuan.
3. About 5.5 market jin of fresh Astragalus membranaceus is needed to make 1 kg dried, so 1500 jin of fresh product, after drying, comes to about 270 kg of Astragalus membranaceus. Calculated at a market selling price of 20 yuan per kg, 270 kg of dried product per mu×20 yuan=5400 yuan, then minus the planting cost of 2870 yuan=2530 yuan.
