How to cultivate Atractylodes lancea, a Chinese herbal medicine?

This year, the Atractylodes macrocephala market has fallen, and the Atractylodes macrocephala market has remained stable. Many growers have also seen business opportunities and have adjusted their ideas from Atractylodes macrocephala planting to Atractylodes macrocephala planting.

At present, it is the season of planting Chinese herbal medicine Atractylodes lancea. This year, the price per kilogram of Atractylodes lancea seedlings is around 8 yuan, although it is more than twice as expensive as Atractylodes macrocephala seedlings. However, because only about 200 kilograms of seedlings are used per mu, the investment cost is similar to that of Atractylodes macrocephala as a whole.

Key points of Atractylodes lancea planting:

1, seedling treatment: pick out moldy seedlings and then use thiamethoxam? Pyrenenitrile? Seed dressing with difenoconazole suspension seed coating agent+brassinolide aqueous solution, and 27.5% benzoxazole suspension seed coating agent 80ml+10/0ml brassinolide are used to mix one mu of seedlings (about 200kg). The specific application method is as follows: mix the above chemicals with about 5kg of water, spray the seedlings evenly with a sprayer, and plant them in the field after air drying.

The advantages of treating Atractylodes lancea seedlings with the above drugs are: due to many wounds, the seedlings can be sterilized, the bacteria remaining in the soil can be killed, the underground pests and aphids in the growing period can be prevented (there are fewer diseases in the growing period of Atractylodes lancea, but the aphids are seriously harmful), and the early rooting can be stimulated, and the seedlings can be strengthened.

2. Fertilization: Unlike Atractylodes macrocephala, Atractylodes macrocephala is a biennial Chinese herbal medicine, and the base fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer. Of course, the more decomposed organic fertilizer, the better. If there is no farm manure, biological bacterial manure is also a good choice, about 200 kg per mu, and calcium superphosphate 100 kg.

Topdressing is the most important for planting Atractylodes lancea, especially at seedling stage and tuber expansion stage. Topdressing at seedling stage can be appropriately high in nitrogen, and potassium sulfate compound fertilizer can be selected, and topdressing at later stage should be mainly high in potassium fertilizer.

3. Planting: After the land is deeply turned over to support the ridge, cross-plant it on both sides of the ridge with a spacing of six or seven inches. Specifically, the plant spacing can be appropriately adjusted according to the size of seedlings.

Many people can't tell the difference between innocence and atractylodes macrocephala. In fact, although these two Chinese herbal medicines have similar names and looks, they all belong to Compositae, but their effects are still different.
