The invention relates to a planting method of purple perilla, and belongs to the technical field of planting of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The planting method of purple perilla comprises the following steps: (1) leveling the land and applying base
fertilizer; (2) field planting, namely, planting plants on a
ridge according to the standard of 25 to 35cm planting distance and row spacing; (3) performing field management, namely, 1,
pruning branches and leaves; 2, managing water and
fertilizer in the growth period; 3, harvesting and managing leaves; 4, preventing and controlling pest and
disease damage. According to the planting method of purple perilla, the dimension of the
ridge and the reasonable planting distance are arranged, the field management is performed, and therefore, single purple perilla and the whole
nutrition (including air, sunshine, water, CO2 and other nutritional elements) can be balanced, the advantages of
photosynthesis can be played into full, and as a result, the output of purple perilla is increased; meanwhile, the
transmittance of light of the
ridge is 35 to 45%, the permeability of the inner part of the
plant is high, and thus the pest and
disease damage of the purple perilla plants can be decreased.
