Key Technique on Wild Medicinal Materials Tending of Schisandra sphenanthera
Abstract:Objective:To ensure the sustainable population regeneration of Schisandra sphenanthera,source plant of Medicinal Materials Nanwuweizi(Schisandrae Sphenanthera Fructus),and the sustainable utilization of wild resources ,and realize the coordinated development between the medicinal materials production and ecological environment protection.Methods:Though wild populations observation,interviews with herb collectors and traders in production areas,literature sorting and setting observing and practicing sites,we proposed a scientific and effective scheme of wild medicinal materials tending.Results:There are five parts in this scheme,including ventilation and light transmission in populations,vertical holder of young individual plant,artificial complementally planting,sustainable harvesting of medicinal materials and scientific processing in the production area.Conclusions:This scheme may guide sustainable harvesting of Nanwuweizi and protect wild resource of S.sphenanthera.Meanwhile it may ensure medicinal materials quality.
