What medicinal materials are good to plant under the forest?

In recent years, planting medicinal materials under forests has become a hot topic in the agricultural field due to its dual advantages of ecological and economic benefits. As people's demand for health increases, the market for traditional Chinese medicinal materials continues to heat up. The underforest planting model not only saves land resources, but also improves the quality of medicinal materials. The following is the recommendation and analysis of medicinal materials for forest planting that have been hotly discussed on the Internet in the past 10 days for the reference of growers.

1. Recommendations of medicinal materials suitable for understory planting

2. Analysis of the advantages of planting medicinal materials under forests

1.Significant ecological benefits: Planting under forest can reduce water and soil erosion, increase forest coverage, and form a virtuous cycle of "forestry and medicine symbiosis".

2.Better quality: Medicinal materials grown in simulated wild environments have higher active ingredient content, and the market premium can reach 30%-50% of that of ordinary cultivation.

3.policy support: Many governments have introduced subsidy policies. For example, Yunnan Province provides a subsidy of 200-500 yuan per mu for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials under forests.

4. Precautions

1.Variety selection: It is necessary to scientifically select seeds according to the local climate (such as average annual temperature, precipitation) and soil pH value (5.5-7.0 is optimal).

2.Technical points: It is recommended to adopt a three-layer structure of "upper trees + middle shrubs + bottom medicinal materials", and the canopy density should be controlled between 0.4-0.7.

3.market risk: The price of some medicinal materials, such as Baiji, has dropped from 300 yuan/kg in 2018 to the current 50 yuan/kg due to the expansion of planting in recent years.

5. Expert advice

The latest research from the Chinese Academy of Forestry shows that forestry and drug compound management can increase economic benefits per unit area by more than 40%. Recommend priority developmentMedicinal and edible varieties(such as Polygonatum japonica and Polygonatum odoratum), their market demand is stable and the processing industry chain is mature.

With the promulgation of the "Guidelines for the Development of Forest and Grass Chinese Medicinal Materials Industry", it is expected that by 2025, the planting area of Chinese medicinal materials under forests in my country will exceed 30 million acres. Growers can pay attention toImitation wild planting technology under forestandorganic certification, to enhance product competitiveness.
