Growing environment of wild ginseng

The growth of wild ginseng is very strict to the environmental requirements, the natural conditions, vegetation conditions, forest elephant conditions, woodland conditions, as well as the air, soil, temperature, light, water and so on must have its growth requirements, otherwise, wild ginseng is difficult to survive.

Natural conditions for the growth of wild ginsengGrowing range: longitude 117°~134°E, latitude 40°~48°NAltitude: above 300 metersAnnual precipitation: 500~1000mmAverage humidity during the growing period: about 70%Climate conditions: understory transmittance of 10~15% during the growing period, average annual temperature of the distribution area 1~6.5℃. Frost-free period: not less than 90 days annual effective temperature ≥ 10 ℃, cumulative temperature 2000 ~ 3300 ℃.

Vegetation conditions of wild ginseng growthThe growth area of wild ginseng must have biological communities (including plants, animals, microorganisms, etc.) and their growing environment (including soil, climate, etc.) with tree species as the main body, and a complete and good forest ecosystem with life and regenerative capacity that constantly carries out energy conversion, material circulation and information transfer with time and space.

There are many companion plants in the growing environment of wild ginseng, which is exactly where the mystery of the growth of wild ginseng lies. Accompanying plants mainly include: trees, shrubs (e.g. hazelnut, huzhi, prickly pear, chicken tree strip, mountain plum blossom, dragon's tooth wood, macadamia rhamnosus), herbs (e.g. northeastern tea, pointed-leafed white front, mountain paeoniae, palm-leafed ferocious fern, northeastern mountain plum blossom, old mountain celery, small-leafed celery, fine spices, lilies, thick-stemmed scaly ferns, mountain artemisia, wild peas, broad-leaved daisies and so on), lianas (e.g. muktong, schizandra, mountain grapes and so on). .

The forest conditions for the growth of wild ginseng, wild ginseng grows in the region of broad-leaved forests or mixed coniferous and broad forests, and the tree species are generally Mongolian oak, maple, quercus, purple linden, chaff linden, red pine and more than 10 species. Formation of high, medium and low 3 layers of natural barriers, the degree of depression (refers to the degree of inter-forest canopy articulation, the canopy in the forest floor projection of the area occupied by the ratio of the total area of the forest floor is called the degree of depression) 0.6-0.8.

Forest full shade or no shade, eerie or little sunshine of the original forest wild ginseng can not grow. It likes to grow in the mixed coniferous and broad forest or under the mixed woods, around the rolling hills, river valleys, water flow, nest wind to the sun, gentle slopes under the forest.

Sunlight through the gap between the forest, blowing with the wind, shaking, scattering and direct radiation in the wild ginseng leaves, to give ginseng suitable light and heat; Whenever the rain falls, the slow slope of the water downstream, play a natural anti-logging effect; Whenever a long time drought, no rain, rising temperatures, the earth cracked, loose humus soil is still moist steam, supplying the wild ginseng root moisture, it can be normal growth and development.
