The invention belongs to the technical field of
traditional Chinese medicine seedling cultivation, and discloses a protected raising method for
Astragalus membranaceus seedlings using
peat and
vermiculite as substrates; the method includes calculating
peat before unpacking in spring, adding
vermiculite with equal volume after the
peat is smashed, and applying a full-element composite slow-releasefertilizer; leveling the ground in a
greenhouse, making ridges, and fixing
ridge surfaces; pressing seeding ditches during seeding,
sowing Astragalus membranaceus seeds, raking flat after seeding, andspraying enough water; carrying out daily management; removing beautifying planting bags in autumn, and digging with an iron fork from either side. According to the method, seeding is performed in advance through the warm-light effect of the
greenhouse in autumn, winter and spring; compared with traditional open-land
seedling raising methods for high-altitude cold regions, the method allows the
seedling raising period to be shortened by half a year to one year, seedling yield to be increased by three times, first-level seedling rate to be increased by 60%,
root rot rate to be decreased by 100%, and digging labor cost to be saved by 66.7%; the quality of the
Astragalus membranaceus seedlings is improved, the
pathogen infection sources are effectively controlled and prevented, and the supply
bottleneck of Astragalus membranaceus seedlings in field production is solved.
