Achyranthes is a perennial herb with a cylindrical root, widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is an economically valuable crop, and planting it between late June and mid-July is considered optimal. One effective way to boost income is by cultivating wheat Achyranthes bidentata. Below are the key technical practices for growing this plant:
After fertilization, the soil should be deeply turned. Apply 2500 kg of organic fertilizer per acre, along with 50 kg of superphosphate and 20 kg of rapeseed cake. Ensure that the planting area is well-structured, with rows spaced 1.3 meters apart and 30 cm between plants. A good drainage system must be established to prevent waterlogging.
Before sowing, soak the seeds in warm water for 4–5 hours, then mix them with a small amount of fire ash and ensure even distribution. Create shallow furrows on the surface of the field, spaced 25–30 cm apart. Spread the seed-ash mixture evenly in the furrows and cover with a thin layer of fine soil. During dry periods, place a light layer of straw or chaff on top of the soil to help retain moisture and promote germination.
Field management involves several key steps. First, after about one and a half months of growth, perform weeding and apply a first top dressing of 1500 kg of livestock manure compost per acre (or 10 kg of urea). The second top dressing should be applied during the vigorous growth phase, using 2000 kg of manure compost (or 15 kg of urea) and 50 kg of superphosphate.
At a height of 50 cm, remove the top inflorescences in batches to redirect nutrients to the roots. For irrigation and drainage, ensure timely drainage during heavy rains. After September, when the main root stops growing, provide sufficient water if drought occurs.
Common diseases include leaf spot and root rot. Reduce field humidity and spray affected leaves with a 1:1:100 Bordeaux mixture or 65% zearazine diluted 500 times. For root rot, use 50% carbendazim at 1000 times dilution or 5% lime milk. Nematode disease can be prevented by disinfecting the soil before planting, applying 3% methyl isophosphite at 5 kg per acre. For pests like the elm leaf beetle, red spider mites, and stinkbugs, spray with 90% trichlorfon at 1000 times or 40% dimethoate at 1000 times.
By following these detailed cultivation techniques, farmers can significantly improve yield and quality while maintaining healthy plant growth.
