Method for collecting herba epimedii seeds

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for collecting herba epimedii seeds, and relates to the field of seed treatment. The method includes the following steps that herba epimedii infructescence is collected when herba epimedii fruits are mature; the herba epimedii infructescence is subjected to decomposing treatment after being wetted with water, so that decomposed herba epimedii infructescence is obtained; the decomposed herba epimedii infructescence is thrown into water to be subjected to centrifugal treatment and standing, and the sedimentary herba epimedii seeds are collected. With the method,the herba epimedii seeds can be rapidly and efficiently separated and collected, the seeds and seed wings are totally separated to avoid mildewing during germination, and damage to the herba epimediiseeds under a mechanical effect is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of seed treatment, and in particular to a method for collecting epimedium seeds. Background technique [0002] Epimedium brevicornu Maxim. is a perennial herb plant with a plant height of 20-60 cm, thick and short rhizomes, dark brown, two back and three compound leaves, basal and cauline, long stalked, papery leaflets Or thick paper, leaf margins with spines, white or light yellow flowers, flowering period May-June, fruit period June-August. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Epimedium is pungent and sweet, and warm in nature. It is an important medicine for nourishing the gate of life, benefiting essence, strengthening muscles and bones, nourishing kidney and strengthening yang. It is often used clinically to treat impotence, premature ejaculation, incontinence and Female infertility and other diseases, modern research shows that Epimedium contains icariin, volatile oil, wax alcohol, phytoster...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the planting process of Epimedium, its seedling propagation is mainly based on asexual reproduction (ramification or rhizome propagation), and sexual reproduction is supplemented, but because the current Epimedium seedlings mainly originate from the rhizome of wild plants, Purchasing cost is relatively high (seedling cost is about 10,000 / mu), and the source is unstable, so it is necessary to vigorously study the use of seeds or rhizome propagation to solve the problem of seedling source, wherein the number of Epimedium seeds is large (per fruit about 50-100 fruits, with an average of 1-10 seeds per fruit), the reproduction coefficient is relatively high, and although in the dormant period (autumn and winter) of Epimedium also can be used to carry out division propagation of overwintering bud rhizomes, but every The number of overwintering buds of a plant is limited, and the reproduction coefficient is relatively low. Therefore, if Epimedium realizes the propagation of seedlings by seeds, seedlings can be provided in large quantities quickly

[0004] Epimedium seeds begin to mature around the annual Grain Rain. The fruit is a capsule, each capsule contains 1-10 seeds, and each seed has a seed wing. Since Epimedium is a compound raceme, the maturity of the fruit is inconsistent , It is difficult to harvest the seeds, so when harvesting the seeds, the whole infructome is usually cut off and harvested, and then brought back indoors to separate the seeds, but the seeds are small, and it is very time-consuming and laborious to peel the seeds from the fruit by hand
