The invention belongs to the technical field of 
drug cultivation, and in particular relates to a drought-resistant cultivation method of 
codonopsis pilosula. The method is carried out according to thefollowing steps: step 1, land selection and 
soil preparation; step 2, fertilization; step 3, 
seedling selection; step 4, 
transplanting method; step 5, field management, step 6, 
disease and 
pest control; step 7, excavation; and step 8, storage. According to the drought-resistant cultivation method of the 
codonopsis pilosula, temperature can be increased and soil 
moisture can be maintained, therebyfacilitating yield improvement of medicinal materials; natural resources of light, heat, water, soil, etc. are fully utilized, so that Chinese herbal medicines grow vigorously, and resilience and pest and 
disease resistance are further enhanced, therefore, occurrence variety and incidence rate of diseases and 
insect pests are correspondingly reduced, use number and use amount of pesticides are reduced correspondingly, 
root length and root 
diameter of the 
codonopsis pilosula can be significantly improved, thereby increasing a ratio of first-class products, and improving commercial characters of the medicinal materials.
