1. How much does it cost to plant one acre of Polygonatum?

The investment required to plant one acre of Polygonatum sibiricum is about 3,000 to 20,000 yuan. There are two types of Polygonatum cultivation: extensive and intensive. If you choose extensive cultivation, the investment cost is relatively low. If you plant 1,000 Polygonatum plants per acre, you will need about 50 kilograms of seeds, which is about 500 yuan. The manpower cost for tidying up the planting area is also about 500 yuan, so you need to invest about 1,000 yuan a year. If you choose precision planting, you will need to plant more plants, plus management fees, which will cost at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. It usually takes three years of planting Polygonatum to generate a profit, so the investment cost needs to be multiplied by three. Please note that if you do not have land at home and need to rent additional land, the cost will increase by another five or six hundred yuan.

2. The breeding method of Polygonatum

1. Rhizome propagation: Dig up the rhizomes around late autumn or early spring, cut them into sections, keep 3-4 nodes on each section, then prepare the land and make ridges, plant them with a row spacing of 22-26 cm and a plant spacing of 10-16 cm.

2. Seed propagation: After the seeds mature in August, you can collect the seeds in the sand and store them in a cool pit. In the spring of next year, you can sift out the seeds and prepare for sowing. Prepare the land, make ridges and dig trenches, then evenly sow the seeds at a row spacing of about 12-15 cm and cover with a thin layer of soil. Compact slightly, water, cover with a layer of grass, and transplant after a year.
