Planting medicinal materials

Six notes on planting medicinal materials:

(1) Pay attention to identify varieties with large dosage, and you will get risk-free income. A large amount of medicinal materials are mostly used in general prescriptions, such as Radix Isatidis, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Radix Platycodi, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Radix Codonopsis, Radix Bupleuri, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Saposhnikoviae, Coicis Semen, Herba Schizonepetae and Achyranthis Radix. These varieties have a large market sales volume and generally will not be overstocked. Be careful to plant rare and expensive varieties.

(2) Pay attention to local conditions and don't be greedy. Such as saffron, Fritillaria, Coptis chinensis, American ginseng, Siraitia grosvenorii, coffee beans and other varieties, although expensive, but strict requirements for climate and soil. For example, Siraitia grosvenorii can only grow in cool and foggy mountainous areas in Guangxi, and coffee beans belong to tropical plants. In China, only parts of Yunnan Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and other provinces (autonomous regions) can be planted, and it can only bear fruit after growing for more than 5 years. Spend a lot of money to buy such seeds and plant them hard, but the result is hard to predict.

(3) Pay attention to the development and cultivation of periodic Chinese herbal medicines, similar to other agricultural products. The less inventory, the higher the price. The price increase will also increase the planting area, resulting in more output than sales, and the price will soon come down. According to years of experience, the price of each variety changes about once every five years. If you are good at analysis, grasp its periodicity, catch waves and peaks, you can get ideal returns.

(4) Pay attention to the correct analysis of advertisements. Most false advertising words that are not cheap to buy seeds violate scientific laws, exaggerate the yield per mu and falsely report the market price, and use pseudonyms to make some drug farmers fall into the fog. For example, Codonopsis pilosula's alias is Zhonglingcao, which makes people mistakenly think that it is a valuable medicinal material, so it is priced at will, which makes people deceived. Drug farmers must be cautious when buying seeds, and don't believe such words as "free seed supply and high price recovery".

(5) Pay attention to scientifically summarizing the planting rules. Many Chinese herbal medicines are wild and grow wild. Now, when the demand is great, they are introduced for home cultivation. Because its natural laws are difficult to grasp, it is possible to send it in small quantities in dry land or interplant it with crops such as beans, cereals, peanuts, rape, corn and wheat. Pay attention to observation, find out its growth law, master planting techniques, and then promote it in a large area.

(6) Pay attention to capture information, grasp the best opportunity for sales, and contact the professional market of medicinal materials, local hospitals and pharmacies or seed supply units in time according to their own planting conditions, and collect and transport them as soon as possible. As the saying goes, "more goods attract distant customers." If it is planted on a large scale, sustainable development will attract merchants to come to the door to ask for goods. As long as we seize the right sales opportunities, we will certainly get more profits.
