Achyranthes bidentata, alias Achyranthes, plus grass, has blood circulation, liver and kidney, strong bones and other effects. The Achyranthes bidentata has strong adaptability, strict requirements on soil and climate, easy to plant and manage. Due to the decline in planting area in recent years, the current market is in short supply, prices are rising, and there is a promising future for the development of planting. The cultivation techniques are as follows: Site preparation. The sandy loam with deep soil and good drainage should be selected. Clay and sand can also be cultivated. The roots of Achyranthes Bge. are deeply ploughed into the soil. Before planting, they should be ploughed between 50 cm and 70 cm. When applying arable land, 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms of manure per acre, plus 25 to 40 kilograms of superphosphate, and plowing, make it 1.3 to 2.3 meters wide, regardless of length. 2. Cultivation method. 1 Seed treatment. Soak the seed in cold water for 24 hours before sowing, remove it, dry it slightly, and dry it after sowing. It can also be sowed by germination. 2 sowing. The sowing time depends on the planting area. The north is suitable for planting from late June to early July; the south is sown in late July. Seeding methods are mostly used for seeding, seeding by row spacing of 33 cm, opening 2 cm deep trenches, mixing the treated seeds with appropriate amount of fine soil, evenly sowing into the ditch, lightly covering a layer of fine soil to keep the soil moist and sowing 3 Days - 5 days after emergence, 2 kg per acre. It can also be interplanted. 3. Field management. 1 Dingmiao. When the seedling height is 7 cm to -10 cm, the seedlings are planted at a distance of about 7 cm from each other; when the seedling height is 17 cm to -20 cm, seedlings are planted at a spacing of 13 cm. 2 top dressing. After top dressing, topdressing should be performed once. Apply 14 kg of calcium phosphate, 8 kg of ammonium sulfate, or 1000 kg of human waste per acre. Apply lightly after application. When the Achyranthes seedlings grow too prosperous, they should be topped. When the height of seedlings is about 30 cm, such as the leaves are yellow, it means that the fertility is insufficient, and human feces or urine fertilizer can be applied once more to facilitate the growth of the roots. 4. Pest Control. 1 disease. a. Leaf spotting damages the leaves. In severe cases, the entire leaf is grayish brown and then withered. After the onset of disease, 1:1:120 Bordeaux mixture or 65% wettable agent-zinc zinc 500 times solution was sprayed once every 10 days - 15 days, 2 times - 3 times. b. Root rot mostly occurs in high temperature and rainy season. After onset, the leaves are yellow, and the roots turn brown and then rot and die. After the onset of disease, it is necessary to keep the soil well drained, remove the diseased plants in time, and burn them. The diseased soil is disinfected with quicklime. 2 Insect pests. a. The Spodoptera exigua larvae bite the leaves in the Achyranthes bidentata seedling stage. After the occurrence, it can be manually killed or sprayed with 90% trichlorfon 1000 times liquid--1500 times liquid. b. The damage of red spiders will cause yellow-white spots on the leaves, and the whole leaves will lose green and dry off. When it occurs, spray 40% dimethoate 1000 times liquid - 1500 times liquid for prevention and treatment. 5. Harvest processing. In the middle or late October, the stems and leaves are cut off first, then excavated and kept intact, and the net soil and impurities are removed. They are tied into small pieces and dried outdoors or dried. The product specifications of Achyranthes bidentata are better with skin fineness, meat fatness, color, length, yellowish-white or meat red. The finished product should be stored in a dry and ventilated place. China Agricultural Network Editor
