The invention discloses a method for improving the germination rate of traditional Chinese medicinal material astragalus membranaceus seeds, and belongs to the technical field of astragalus membranaceus seed germination. The method comprises the following steps that (1), seeds are selected, specifically, astragalus membranaceus seeds with full grains and uniform size are selected; (2), disinfection treatment is carried out, specifically, the seeds are repeatedly washed with distilled water for 2-3 times, then soaked with a 2wt% sodium hypochlorite solution for 15 minutes, and then washed with distilled water for 4-5 times; (3), bacterial liquid infection is carried out, specifically, sterilization treatment is carried out on the EM bacterial liquid, and then the disinfected seeds are dip-dyed; (4), drying treatment is carried out, specifically, the dip-dyed seeds are dried in a drying oven at 30 DEG C for 4.5 hours until the seeds are completely dried; and (5), cultivation and germination are carried out, specifically, the seeds are placed in a culture dish padded with double-layer filter paper, constant-temperature culture is carried out on the culture dish, the problem that danger is prone to happening when sulfuric acid is used for soaking the seeds is solved, and meanwhile, the germination rate of the astragalus membranaceus seeds is improved.
