The invention provides a quick land selection method for panax notoginseng planting areas. The steps include: looking for land blocks with good Alnus cremastogyne growth conditions to obtain type A land blocks; excluding Oxalis corniculata growth land blocks from the type A land blocks to obtain type B land blocks; excluding panax notoginseng and vegetable crop planted land blocks suffering stem leaf yellowing to obtain type C land blocks; in the type C land blocks, excluding the land blocks in which forecrop plants have more than 10 tuberous roots and root knots, thus obtaining type D land blocks; in the type D land blocks, selecting land blocks with more than 20 years of crop rotation, thus obtaining type E land blocks; and in the type E land blocks, excluding land blocks using non-decomposed organic fertilizers so as to obtain type F land blocks, i.e. panax notoginseng planting areas. The method provided by the invention improves the land selection efficiency, lowers the risk of planting, lays a good foundation for guaranteeing the yield and quality of panax notoginseng plants, effectively reduces the field management difficulty in the process of planting, the method is simple and reliable, and is easy to popularize.
