Artemisia argyi is very adaptable. In order to save land resources, hills should be chosen for rational layout. The base should have irrigation water conditions, and there is no domestic water and industrial water pollution nearby; The base soil and production water should meet the water quality standards for farmland irrigation, and the soil should be free from toxic and harmful residues, human and animal feces and domestic garbage pollution, and be tested regularly according to regulations.

Neutral soil with deep soil layer, good soil permeability and rich organic matter is preferred.

According to the structural characteristics of the soil layer in the planting area, the number of plows and harrows should be properly controlled, and 22.5~30.0t/hm2 of decomposed soil miscellaneous fertilizer should be applied in combination with soil preparation, and then it should be evenly mixed and turned into the soil layer for ditching and planting.

2. Propagation methods The propagation methods of Artemisia argyi include seed propagation, rhizome propagation and ramet propagation.

The germination rate of seeds is low, only 5%, and the seedling stage is long (2 years), so it is generally not used; The survival rate of rhizome propagation is high, but the seedling stage is long (2 months); Good ramet propagation, high survival rate, no seedling growth period, fast propagation speed and wide application.

Breeding improved varieties requires thick and large leaves, stout and upright stems, dark green leaves, strong smell, dense villi and well-developed seedling roots.

3. The planting density is from February to March, and the seedling height is 5~ 10cm. When the ground is wet (it should be after rain or cloudy day), the seedlings separated from the stem base of the mother plant should be planted at a spacing of 30cm×40cm, with 2~3 plants per hole, covered with soil and compacted.
