Kudzu is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Kudzu of the Fabaceae family, and currently there are more than 20 varieties in the world, and there are 12 varieties in China, which is the first in the world. The main varieties that can be used as commercial products are kudzu and sweet kudzu. Kudzu mainly grows in the grass of the mountain slopes, roadsides, and shady places, but many places have artificial cultivation. The main cultivated varieties are Kudzu, Golden Kudzu, Purple Kudzu, Big Leaf Kudzu, Fine Leaf Kudzu, and Platinum Kudzu (called Golden Kudzu in some places). As a cultivated species of kudzu, its tuberous roots are relatively weak in fiber and rich in powder, which is more suitable for the development of health food, so it is important to understand its role before planting.

The stem of Pueraria lobata is stoloniferous, relatively thick, with large forks and short spurs, stout, and its leaves are simple and alternate, broad, broadly ovate, acute with shallow trilobed, pinnate venation. The flowers of Kudzu are solitary and funnel-shaped, and the fruits are pods purple banded. Its stem leaves and petioles are densely brown tomentose, the leaf surface has brown or white short downy hairs, the back of the leaf is hairless. Pueraria lobata can grow normally from -12℃ to 40℃, and the optimal temperature is 20～30℃. May to October every year is the peak season for kudzu, and its leaves begin to wither after the frost.

◆Kudzu is drought-resistant throughout its growth process, and its resistance to cold is very strong, and it is easy to cultivate as it does not have strict requirements for climate and geographical conditions. It is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment. It starts to sprout when the average daily temperature is 12℃, and the most suitable temperature is 20～30℃. It is very suitable for the formation of tuberous roots at 25～30℃, and the accumulation of starch in the tuberous roots is suitable at 15～20℃.

◆Kudzu is warm and light-loving, heat-resistant, and its stems, leaves and tubers need strong and high light for growth. Pueraria lobata is also shade tolerant, and it grows better in the shade. But there is one thing, kudzu is drought-resistant and does not tolerate moisture.

◆◆It is again resistant to heat and drought and to pests and diseases, and it can tolerate low temperatures and cold but not waterlogging. If the humidity is too high, especially if the water level is high, the roots will be wrinkled and the color of the skin will be black and brown, and the content of sugar and starch will be lowered, and the leaves will fall off and the roots will be damaged.

◆Kudzu is not too demanding for the soil, but the most suitable soil is slightly acidic, loose and moist sandy soil.

To grow kudzu, you need to have a detailed understanding of the growth properties of kudzu, and only in this way can you know yourself and your enemy, and you can grow a high yield of kudzu.
