When is the best time to harvest ginseng?

Ginseng Harvest Time

Ginseng is best harvested when the temperature is around 15 degrees, so its harvesting time is generally from the end of August to the end of September, when more ginseng can be harvested.

When harvesting, you need to be careful not to break the ginseng roots or expose it to direct sunlight. After harvesting, you must transport it to the factory for processing as soon as possible.

Ginseng Origin

Ginseng is produced in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong. The time of maturity and harvesting varies depending on the planting location. If it is from the ginseng area in Jilin Province, the best time to harvest is mid-September. If it is from the ginseng area in Liaoning, the best time to harvest is early September.

The climate in the same production area is different, and the harvest time is also different. If it is a warm year, ginseng will wilt late, and the harvest time will be late. If it is a cold year, ginseng will wilt early, and the harvest time will be early.

Ginseng Planting Time and Key Points

1. Planting time

Ginseng can be sown and planted from April to May every year, but the ginseng seeds need to be germinated before planting. That is, in February and March, the healthy and full-grained seeds should be soaked in clean water, buried in sandy soil, and wait for the seeds to germinate before sowing.

2. Planting soil

Ginseng is suitable for planting in soil that is rich in organic matter and has good drainage. During the planting process, loose and fertile humus soil can be provided as the base soil. The soil can also be renovated before and after planting to improve the soil's air permeability.

3. Planting method

When planting ginseng, you can evenly sow the germinated seeds in the soil and cover them with fine soil. After sowing, you can water the soil thoroughly to wet all the soil so that the ginseng seeds can germinate and grow as soon as possible.

4. Post-management

In the later process of managing ginseng, it is necessary to provide it with decomposed farmyard manure or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once every month to increase the growth rate of ginseng. After ginseng blooms, it is also necessary to cut off excess flower buds in time to help the plant save nutrients.
