Current Situation of Mechanization Technology and Countermeasures for Whole Production of Radix Pseudostellariae in Guizhou
Radix Pseudostellariae is a local medicinal material in Guizhou,after 20 years of development,it has formed an intensive and standardized planting mode,and the planting area is the first in China.However,Guizhou Radix Pseudostellariae is mostly planted in hilly and mountainous areas,and due to the influence of topography and development foundation,the production operation is time-consuming,labor-intensive,inefficient,and difficult to mechanize.Through literature review and field investigation,combined with the typical planting agronomy and primary processing technology of Guizhou Radix Pseudostellariae,the production technology of the whole chain of Radix Pseudostellariae was briefly described,and the current status of mechanization technology in 5 links such as cultivation,planting,management,harvesting and primary processing was analyzed,and the main problems in the mechanization of Radix Pseudostellariae production were pointed out.Based on this,several countermeasures for the mechanization of the whole production process of Radix Pseudostellariae were proposed including promoting standardized planting,promoting the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy,and the mechanization transformation of planting areas,increasing research and development efforts on key technologies such as planting,harvesting,tail removal,and grading of the root tubers of the mountain Radix Pseudostellariae,strengthening the training of technical talents for agricultural machinery,accelerating the development of seeders and harvesters suitable for princely ginseng in mountainous areas,upgrading and transforming existing primary processing machinery and equipment,and forming a moderate primary processing production line.Above results provided reference for sustainable development of Guizhou Radix Pseudostellariae.
