In traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, Bupleurum is widely used, so the market demand is large. In order to meet the market demand, planting Bupleurum has become a viable option.
This article introduces the cultivation methods of Bupleurum chinensis, including planting environment, land selection, sowing, field management, pest control, and harvesting and profit.
First, the planting environment
Bupleurum prefers a warm and humid environment, not cold-tolerant, the most suitable growth temperature is 16 degrees -25 degrees, and Bupleurum needs sufficient light, and good light conditions should be ensured during the growth process. In addition, Bupleurum prefers loose, fertile, well-drained, sandy soils, preferably at a pH of 65-7.between 5.
Second, the selection of land
Before planting, choose the cultivated land with flat terrain, good drainage and loose soil, carry out deep ploughing and fine raking, clean up weeds and gravel, apply enough farmhouse fertilizer as base fertilizer, and level the furrow, although Bupleurum likes a moist environment, but it should also be noted that too much water is also easy to make the plant sick, so the drainage ditch should be done well while furrowing.
3. Sowing and propagating
Bupleurum is generally propagated by seeds, and the best sowing is in spring and autumn, and the sowing method is strip sowing or hole sowing. When sowing, the ditch is made according to the row spacing of 20-25 cm, and the depth of the ditch is 2-3 cm, and the seeds are evenly sprinkled into the ditch. When sowing in the hole, open the hole according to the spacing of the plant row 20 cm and 30 cm, and sow 3-5 seeds in each hole. Then fill the soil and compact, according to the drought conditions of the soil, watering and moisturizing. The sowing rate is about 1-1 per mu5 kg.
4. Field management
1.Watering: Bupleurum prefers a moist environment, keep the soil moist after sowing, and water it in time according to the weather conditions. During the growing period, keep the drainage communication smooth to avoid waterlogging caused by rainy weather or overwatering.
2.Weeding: Weeding in time during the growing period to avoid weeds competing with Bupleurum for nutrients. We can use manual uprooting or herbicides for weeding, and when using herbicides, selective herbicides should be used, which only kill weeds and are harmless to plants.
3.Fertilization: Bupleurum fertilization is divided into seedling period and growth to a certain height period, as well as rhizome expansion period and budding period, according to different periods, the selection of farm fertilizer and all kinds of special fertilizer, the number of fertilization per mu according to the recommended amount of special fertilizer spraying, can not be exceeded. At the same time, it is sprayed in combination with foliar fertilizer. After the seeds are ripe, stop fertilizing.
4.Pest control: Bupleurum is susceptible to root rot, rust, leaf blight and aphids during the growth period, observe in time during planting, once found pests and diseases, treat them as soon as possible, distinguish the types of diseases, spray pesticides, treat the symptoms, remember to use the number of pesticides strictly controlled within the scope of national regulations, so as not to affect the quality of finished products and sales.
5. Harvesting and processing
Bupleurum can be harvested after 2-3 years of growth, and spring and autumn are generally the best harvest periods. At the time of harvesting, the roots of Bupleurum are dug up, the soil is shaken off, and after being dried naturally or machine-dried, it is stored in a cool and ventilated place.
6. Costs and profits
Vlog clock-in schedule
Planting an acre of Bupleurum includes land rent, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and labor and other costs of about 2,000 yuan, harvesting Bupleurum including seeds and Bupleurum roots, according to the average trend of the market, seeds 60 yuan catty, Bupleurum root 80 yuan kg, fine management of 200 kg of seeds per mu, the third year of planing out the root system about 150 kg of dry products, it can be seen that planting an acre of Bupleurum can earn 24,000 yuan for three years, deducting the cost of 2,000 yuan, and the actual income is 22,000 yuan.
Planting is risky, this article is about the theoretical profit under large-scale planting, the actual income needs to be combined with the yield of high and low, market fluctuations and other factors, please understand first and then rational investment!
