Scrophularia is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of clearing heat and cooling blood, nourishing yin and reducing fire, detoxicating and resolving hard mass, and is compatible with all kinds of fever. So, what is the planting benefit of Scrophularia?
Planting cost and income of Scrophularia ningpoensis
The total investment of Scrophularia ningpoensis per mu is less than 2000 yuan, and the farmers' own planting investment is lower, and the income is relatively considerable.
Generally, the yield per mu of Radix Scrophulariae can reach 3000-4000 kg, and the dry product per mu can reach 300-400 kg according to the dry ratio of Radix Scrophulariae. At the current price of 8-8.5 yuan/kg, the income is 2,400-3,400 yuan/mu.
What is the planting prospect of Scrophularia?
At present, the planting area of the old producing areas has been decreasing continuously in the past two years, while the area of the new producing areas has not decreased significantly. Farmers in this area will choose to continue planting after they taste the sweetness. The enthusiasm of farmers and land growers determines the actual annual output.
The actual demand for Radix Scrophulariae is 5500-6000 tons per year. The output of 20 15 exceeds 10000 tons, and the local market has successively fallen to the bottom. The output and inventory of 20 16 remain at a high level of about 8000 kilotons. The output and inventory of 20 17 are maintained at 7000-8000 tons.
After the new production of 20 18 ended, the output of new products in various regions decreased to some extent. The price of new goods in Hubei and Hunan is 8- 10 yuan, and the unified price of goods in Henan and Anhui is 5-7 yuan.
Propagation method and planting technology of Scrophularia ningpoensis
In recent years, the planting of Scrophularia ningpoensis is mainly based on seed bud and ramet propagation, which is simpler and more convenient than the traditional seed planting method, with faster propagation and shorter growth cycle, and can be mined in one year.
The planting time of Scrophularia figwort is slightly different between the north and the south. Winter planting in the south, February11-65438+February to the next year1mid-October.
In the north, it is mainly planted in spring, and it is planted from early March to April after spring. It enters the growth period from April to May, and enters the vigorous period from July to August. During this period, fertilization and field management were mainly used to promote the expansion and growth of Scrophularia root tuber.
Irrigation should be done in time in case of drought, and long-term drought will affect its growth. Because the temperature in the south is slightly lower than that in the north, some apical inflorescences should be removed during the flowering period of Scrophularia to facilitate the growth of root tuber.
The plant of Scrophularia figwort can reach about 1.5 meters, and its roots have several spindle-shaped or radish-shaped expanded branches when growing, reaching more than 5 cm when growing mature.
The fruiting period of Scrophularia figwort is generally 10- 1 1 month. When it matures in autumn, the roots are harvested and dried. Sweat accumulation during drying turns its meat black, and the dried product is removed from roots and stems, commonly known as "reed head", which is a good product, Scrophularia.
