The invention provides a method for improving land for cultivating ginkgo saplings and relates to the technical field of nursery stock propagation. The method comprises the following steps of plowing the land to be sowed, evenly scattering a soil improvement agent on the surface of soil which is plowed, wherein 85 kg of the soil improvement agent is scattered for each mu, and then smashing and flattening the soil with a rotary cultivator, wherein sowing can be conducted on the flattened land. The soil improvement agent is formed by mixing and compounding, by weight, 35 parts of carbonized base materials, 15 parts of nano-silica, 16 parts of wormwood, 65 parts of saw powder, 25 parts of bamboo leaves, 6 parts of lysimachia foenum-graecum, 5 parts of honeysuckle, 6 parts of schizonepeta, 4 parts of divaricate saposhnikovia roots, 7 parts of radix sophorae flavescentis, 6 parts of felwort, 3 parts of dandelion and 5 parts of folium isatidis. A preparation method of the soil improvement agent comprises the steps of mixing the raw materials in proportion, pulverizing the raw materials into 150 meshes, and obtaining the soil improvement agent. By means of the method, the germination rate of seeds can be raised, improved soil is loose and breathable, fertilizer conservation capability is great, the growing period can be prolonged, nursery stock roots and stems are high in growth speed, and it is helpful to increase economic benefits of ginkgo sapling cultivation.
