Investigation and analysis on difference of cultivation technique situation of Scutellaria baicalensis in the main production areas of China
Scutellaria baicalensis was one of the commonly used bulk medicinal materials,which had a large market demand in China.In order to understand the differences in cultiva-tion techniques,management level,quality and yield of S.baicalensis in various production areas,a survey was conducted on the production status of S.baicalensis in the main produc-tion areas,including Shanxi,Shanxi,Gansu,Shandong,Hebei,Henan and Inner Mongo-lia.It was found that there were some differences in ecological environment,cultivation methods,fertilization techniques,pest control,harvest period and processing methods a-mong the producing areas.It was suggested that the ecological suitability zoning analysis of S.baicalensis and the study of suitable cultivation techniques for each production area should be carried out to form a high yield,high-quality,and efficient cultivation technology system and further lay the foundation for improving the quality and efficiency of S.baicalensis culti-vation.
