Propagation method of ginseng

Seed treatment

Unlike other plants, ginseng seeds belong to the type of incomplete embryonic development, and the newly harvested seed embryos are very small, which is difficult to see with the naked eye. Therefore, ginseng needs germination in spring and autumn

The specific method is to mix ginseng seeds with wet sand, moisturize and store them for 3 to 4 months under the condition of 12 to 20 degrees day and night temperature change, and wait for the seeds to crack. This process is called morphological ripening. After that, the seeds can be stored at a low temperature of about 5 degrees for another 2 to 3 months. After the physiological post ripening period is completed, the seeds can emerge

Sow

Northeast China is the main producing area of ginseng. In places with warm climate, seeds can be sown after picking in July. Seeds can be treated at natural temperature and seedlings can appear normally in the second year. In cold places, because the temperature is too low, the seeds can not complete two post ripening periods. Therefore, summer sowing must be carried out in the second year, and the seedlings can appear normally in the third year

Transplanting

Jilin is an important producing area of ginseng in China. Due to the differences of soil and climate conditions in the planting areas, the ginseng producing areas in Jilin are divided into two types: one is the border ginseng area and the other is the common ginseng area. The two planting methods are different

Common reference area: it is basically three-year-old transplanting and six-year-old harvest. This transplanting method is called three-year three-year system cultivation

Side bar ginseng area: this kind of side bar ginseng is transplanted for three years, transplanted for five years and harvested for two years respectively. Therefore, it is harvested for seven years. This planting system is called "three two two system"< span>
