Scutellaria baicalensis has the effects of removing dampness and swelling, replenishing qi and blood, and strengthening qi. It can be used together with many Chinese medicinal materials. Nowadays, the cultivation of Scutellaria baicalensis has been widely carried out, but some production yields are not very ideal. So let me tell you how to cultivate Scutellaria baicalensis to increase production!

1. Select the land and till it

If you want to increase production, you must first choose a good farmland. It is best to choose a soil with good drainage and thick soil for Scutellaria baicalensis planting. We must organize the farmland before planting. First, we must fertilize the farmland to increase its fertility.

The above is the technology for increasing the yield of Scutellaria baicalensis planting. The editor suggests that when choosing a site, you do not choose some fields that have been rotated for two years. The quality of such land is already very poor and is not suitable for planting plants such as Chinese medicinal materials. If you have the conditions, you can buy some fertile land or rent a place.
