The invention discloses a polygala tenuifolia planting method. The method includes the first step of soil preparation, the second step of seed processing, the third step of sowing, the fourth step of field management, the fifth step of harvesting and processing and the sixth step of packaging and storing. Field management includes thinning, complementary planting of seedlings, weeding, watering, fertilizing and disease and insect pest prevention. According to the polygala tenuifolia planting method, fertilizer and herbicide are added during bed manufacturing, a thin film is used for covering, soil fertility is improved, weed growth is inhibited, and manpower and materials used for later weeding are reduced; seeds are subjected to physical, temperature difference and plant hormone processing, and the germination rate is obviously increased and reaches 94-96%; during sowing, mixed fertilizer and traditional Chinese medicine are added, nutrients are rich, nutrition elements of polygala tenuifolia are increased, polygala tenuifolia is rich in organic selenium, zinc and iron, the health-care function of polygala tenuifolia is enhanced, the disease and insect pest occurrence rate in the later growth process of polygala tenuifolia is reduced, the yield of polygala tenuifolia is obviously increased, and the quality of polygala tenuifolia is obviously improved. Disease and insect pest prevention is carried out through a biological method, pesticide use is reduced, pesticide residues are avoided, and safety is guaranteed.
