Gastrodia elata planting technology:

1. Garden site selection

The quality of the soil directly determines how much Gastrodia elata will be produced. If the soil quality is very good, the growth will be If the environment is very good, management will be much simpler and production will increase accordingly. Gastrodia elata has very few restrictions on soil. It can be gravel soil, yellow mud, clay, or soil with a large sand content. It doesn't matter. Gastrodia elata is cold tolerant, drought-resistant and not afraid of flooding. The field where it is planted is restricted to a gentle terrain, and the land must have smooth drainage. When summer comes, there will be more rain, and the rainwater must be drained out in time, otherwise it will be easy for large areas of seedlings to die. The key point of the land is to help drain waterlogging. The soil quality is average and the sunlight time is sufficient.

2. Land preparation

Arable land: Gastrodia elata is extremely sensitive to nutrition. If the soil is nutritious, it will grow vigorously and green, and the plant will be strong. However, the soil in some medicinal fields is generally nutritious land. Because of this, if you want to have a high yield of Gastrodia elata, you need to apply enough base fertilizer before planting. Apply 660㎡3~7T of cow dung and chicken manure. After spreading the fertilizer Turn the soil once deeply and rake it once, so that the soil and nutrients are evenly mixed together, so that there are no big soil lumps, which facilitates planting and improves the germination rate.

Border making: In order to facilitate the maintenance and management of gastrodia elata during the entire growth period, such as watering, weeding, and fertilizing, it is recommended that you make the land into a fixed 1.6-meter-wide border with a total length of 12 to 20 meters. , the specific decision will be made with reference to the land.

3. Sowing

Gastrodia seeds are average in size and have a strong germination rate. They can be moderately germinated before planting. Part of the process is really simple. Soak in warm water for one day and then take them out. It can be built after it dries. The planting thickness should be moderate or shallow, and the thickness of the covering soil should not be more than 5 cm. Usually, we sow seeds one by one, choose an environment with low wind, mix Gastrodia elata seeds into wet sand, and spread them evenly on the ground. After planting, we can use manual soiling or mechanical soiling to cover the soil. After covering the soil, water it once, about 6~ The germination rate can be increased in 12 days.

4. Seedling management

The maintenance workload of Gastrodia elata in the seedling stage is relatively small. It has no diseases and good growth and development status. The most important things are watering, clearing weeds and controlling pests. During the peak growth period of Gastrodia elata, it requires a large amount of water and fertilizer. During this period, 50 kilograms of compound fertilizer can be spread over 660 square meters. When Gastrodia elata grows fastest, It requires a lot of water, and whether watering is needed will be determined based on weather conditions during this period.
