The invention discloses a planting method for
pinellia ternate, and belongs to the technical field of cultivation techniques of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The planting method includes a, selecting seeds; b, ditching on a field surface to complete
soil preparation; c, seeding around spring equinox in the
lunar calendar,
bedding fabrics or cloth-shaped materials at the bottom and on two lateral surfaces of the filed surface, placing seed stems or
germination-accelerated seed stems on screens of ditches at the intervals of 3-8cm, and covering the seed stems with mixed fat soil with 4-5cm thickness; d, managing the field; and e, during harvesting, drawing back the fabrics or the cloth-shaped materials which contact with the bottoms and two lateral surfaces of the ditches and turn out from the upper edges of the ditches from one side, raking earthnuts, substantial fibres and
pinellia ternate tubers with soil into containers, screening, sorting out, classifying,
processing and storing the tubers, the earthnuts and the fibres. The width of the fabrics or the cloth-shaped materials can meet the requirement that the fabrics and the cloth-shaped materials can contact with the bottoms and the lateral sides of the ditches and turn out 2-6cm respectively from the two upper edges of the ditches. The planting method has the advantages that growth of weeds around the
pinellia ternata plants can be prevented, and the
pinellia ternata is convenient to harvest; and especially, the earthnuts can be sorted out, so that yield and income can be increased.
