Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fertilizer application technology for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, specifically involving a combination of nutrient elements and application method to improve the yield and quality of Pinellia ternata. Background Technology
[0002] Pinellia ternata is derived from the plant Pinellia ternata of the Araceae family (Araceae). Pinellia ternate The dried tubers of *Pinellia ternata* (Thunb.) Breit. mainly contain active ingredients such as succinic acid, total alkaloids, volatile oils, polysaccharides, amino acids, and pinellia protein. They are used for relieving nausea and vomiting, suppressing cough, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and treating coronary heart disease. Pinellia ternata has significant effects on symptoms such as cough, vomiting, infection, and inflammation. Modern pharmacological studies have found that it possesses antitussive, expectorant, antiemetic, antitumor, antibacterial, sedative, and hypnotic biological activities. As a major medicinal herb in my country, the market demand for Pinellia ternata is constantly expanding, and people's demand for it is increasing year by year. However, wild resources are decreasing year by year, making artificial cultivation an effective alternative. One of the key factors for high yield of Pinellia ternata is nutrients. Through surveys of Pinellia ternata producing areas in various regions, the consensus has been reached that sufficient fertilizer application can promote high yields.
[0003] Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) significantly influence crop growth and development, impacting plant fresh weight, dry matter accumulation, plant height, and branching number. Studies have found that increased copper fertilization is beneficial for increasing potato tuber yield and improving quality; boron promotes protein synthesis and the formation and development of reproductive organs; molybdenum promotes reproductive organ formation, participates in nitrogen metabolism within the plant, and promotes photosynthesis and carbohydrate transfer. However, excessive fertilization can lead to soil compaction and low fertilizer utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Experimental example: 1. Materials and Methods 1.1 Materials and Reagents The Pinellia ternata used in the experiment was Jingte No. 1, which was identified by Professor Du Tao of Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a plant belonging to the genus Pinellia. Pinellia ternate [(Thunb.)Berit.] Before sowing, select healthy rhizomes with a diameter of 0.8–1.0 cm and full buds for sowing.
[0024] Experimental Site Overview: The experiment was conducted from April 1st to August 25th, 2023, in a multi-span greenhouse of Longnan Minle Co., Ltd., Xihe County, Longnan City, Gansu Province. The soil was black loess, with hydrolyzable nitrogen content of 73.00 mg / kg in the 0–20 cm soil layer before sowing. -1 Available phosphorus content: 15.50 mg·kg -1 Available potassium content: 112.00 mg·kg -1 Available boron 0.45 mg·kg -1 Effective molybdenum 0.08 mg·kg -1Available copper content: 1.71 mg·kg -1 The reagents used are shown in Table 1.
[0025] Table 1 Reagents 1.2 Experimental Design The experiment employed a six-factor, three-level orthogonal experimental design, with a total of 18 treatments, each replicated three times, resulting in 54 experimental plots. Each plot had an area of 2m × 1.8m = 3.6m². 2 The land is plowed and leveled, and the plots are separated by 30cm. The seeding rate for each plot is 1.4kg, broadcast sown at a depth of 10cm. After emergence, a black shade net with a 50% shading degree is erected.
[0026] Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers are applied by mixing them with the soil and then spreading them. Copper, boron, and molybdenum fertilizers are applied at a rate of 80 kg of water per acre per application, using 1 m³ of water. 2 Apply approximately 120 mL of the foliar spray solution on a rainless day. Specific application amounts, timing, and methods for each element are shown in Tables 2 and 3, and the element combination table is shown in Table 4.
[0027] Table 2. Application time and amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium Table 3. Application amount and timing of copper, boron, and molybdenum Table 4 Element Allocation Table 1.3 Test index determination and results 1.3.1 Yield and characteristics of Pinellia ternata under elemental application treatment Yield: Pinellia ternata was harvested on August 25, 2023, with 1×1m of product per treatment. 2 The tubers of Pinellia ternata were sifted to remove the soil, weighed, and the fresh yield was determined. The experiment was repeated three times.
[0028] Characteristics: The dry weight ratio is calculated by washing and peeling the commercial-grade Pinellia ternata from each experimental plot, draining it in a mesh bag, and drying it at 60℃ until completely dry (dry weight ratio = dry product weight / fresh product weight × 100%). The standard rate is calculated by grading the fresh Pinellia ternata from each experimental plot, and recording Pinellia ternata that meets the pharmacopoeia standard as having a tuber diameter of 9mm ≤ 18mm (the pharmacopoeia standard Pinellia ternata diameter is 0.7~1.6cm). The tuber standard rate is expressed as the percentage of tuber counts out of the total number of tubers.
[0029] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the highest yield of Pinellia ternata was achieved under treatment No. 6 (N1P3K3Cu2Mo1B2), which was 14901.40 kg·hm². -2The second highest yield was from treatment No. 4 (N1P2K3Cu1Mo2B3), at 14619.42 kg·hm². -2 There was no significant difference in yield between treatment 4 and treatment 6. P >0.01), and both treatments showed significant yield differences compared to other treatments ( P <0.01), indicating that high concentrations of potassium have a significant effect on promoting the yield of Pinellia ternata. Yields exceeding 12000 kg·hm²... -2 Treatments included 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 18. Treatment 13 (N3P1K2Cu3Mo1B2) resulted in the lowest yield of Pinellia ternata, at 8081.03 kg·hm². -2 Significantly lower than other treatments ( P <0.01), the difference between the highest and lowest yields reached 6820.37 kg·hm. -2 .
[0030] Table 5 shows that the dry fraction of Pinellia ternata ranged from 35.91% to 44.45%. Treatment No. 10 (N2P2K3Cu3Mo1B1) had the highest dry fraction at 44.45%, while treatment No. 3 (N1P2K1Cu3Mo3B2) had the lowest at 35.91%. The difference between the two treatments was due to the presence of potassium and molybdenum. Potassium and molybdenum may affect the moisture content of Pinellia ternata, and higher application rates of potassium and molybdenum within a reasonable range may result in a higher dry fraction. The standard yield of Pinellia ternata ranged from 37.50% to 77.82%. Treatment No. 8 (N2P1K3Cu1Mo3B2) had the highest standard yield, while treatment No. 18 (N3P3K3Cu3Mo3B3) had the lowest. This indicates that higher application rates of elements do not necessarily lead to higher standard yields; a reasonable combination of elements can improve the standard yield of Pinellia ternata.
[0031] Table 5. Results of the survey on the characteristics of Pinellia ternata under different element combinations. A reasonable combination of elements can promote plant growth, significantly increase the diameter and weight of bulbils, as well as the diameter and weight of the mother stem, thereby increasing yield. This invention, through experimental research, found that at a urea concentration of 18.70 g·m³,… -2 (N), superphosphate 478.80 g·m -2 (P), Potassium sulfate 31.05 g·m -2 (K) Under the conditions of applying EDTA-chelated copper at a dilution of 1500 times (Cu), sodium molybdate at a dilution of 750 times (Mo), and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate at a dilution of 1000 times (B), the yield of Pinellia ternata was the highest, reaching 14901.40 kg·hm². -2 .
[0032] 1.3.2 Nutrient composition of Pinellia ternata under elemental application treatment The total protein, starch and soluble sugar contents of Pinellia ternata were determined after harvesting using a kit (Nanjing Jiancheng). The specific operation was performed according to the kit instructions.
[0033] 1.3.2.1 Total protein content of Pinellia ternata under elemental application treatment Depend on Figure 2 It is known that the total protein content in Pinellia ternata ranges from 8.35 to 18.57 mg / g. -1 Among the different treatments, the highest total protein content was observed in Pinellia ternata under treatment number 17, at 18.57 mg / g. -1 Among the three treatments (N3P2K2Cu1Mo3B1), 17 (N3P3K1Cu1Mo2B2), and 18 (N3P3K3Cu3Mo3B3), the total protein content in Pinellia ternata did not differ significantly, but compared with other treatments, the total protein content showed a significant difference. P The total protein content (<0.05) may be due to the application of high-concentration nitrogen, which promoted the increase in total protein content in Pinellia ternata. Compared with the three treatments with the same high nitrogen concentration (13, N3P1K2Cu3Mo1B2), 14, N3P1K3Cu2Mo2B1, and 15, N3P2K1Cu2Mo1B3), it is possible that when phosphorus is applied to a certain level, the higher the nitrogen application, the higher the total protein content. Under treatment 7 (N2P1K1Cu3Mo2B3), the total protein content in Pinellia ternata was the lowest, at 8.35 mg / g. -1 The element content of Pinellia ternata treated with other methods reached a significant level ( P <0.05).
[0034] 1.3.2.2 Starch content of Pinellia ternata under elemental application treatment Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that the starch content in Pinellia ternata ranges from 86.8 to 181.29 mg / g. -1 Among the different treatments, the highest starch content in Pinellia ternata was observed under treatment 16 (N3P2K2Cu1Mo3B1), at 181.29 mg / g. -1 The starch content in Pinellia ternata was second highest in treatment 7 (N2P1K1Cu3Mo2B3), while the starch content in treatment 16 was not significantly different from that in treatment 7. P <0.05). Under treatment 5 (N1P3K2Cu3Mo2B1), the starch content in Pinellia ternata was the lowest, at 86.8 mg·g. -1 The starch content of Pinellia ternata treated with other methods was significantly different from that treated with other methods. P<0.05). In comparison, the amount of nitrogen applied is still the key element affecting the starch content of Pinellia ternata. Within a reasonable range, the higher the nitrogen application, the higher the starch content of Pinellia ternata.
[0035] 1.3.2.3 Soluble sugar content of Pinellia ternata under elemental application Depend on Figure 4 It is known that the soluble sugar content in Pinellia ternata ranges from 21.15 to 65.54 mg / g. -1 Among the treatments, the highest soluble sugar content in Pinellia ternata was observed under treatment 4 (N1P2K3Cu1Mo2B3), reaching 65.54 mg·g⁻¹. -1 The difference was statistically significant compared to other treatments. P <0.05), the soluble sugar content in Pinellia ternata was second highest under treatment 16 (N3P2K2Cu1Mo3B1), followed by treatments 6 (N1P3K3Cu2Mo1B2) and 10 (N2P2K3Cu3Mo1B1), all of which involved higher potassium application rates. Treatment 17 (N3P3K1Cu1Mo2B2) had the lowest soluble sugar content in Pinellia ternata, at 21.15 mg / g. -1 All of them showed significant differences compared to other treatments ( P <0.05). This shows that high concentrations of potassium can promote the increase of soluble sugar content in Pinellia ternata.
[0036] A reasonable combination of elements can significantly increase the nutrient content of Pinellia ternata. Experimental studies in this invention have shown that the total protein content in Pinellia ternata was highest under treatment 17 (N3P3K1Cu1Mo2B2), reaching 18.57 mg / g. -1 Under treatment 16 (N3P2K2Cu1Mo3B1), the starch content in Pinellia ternata was the highest, at 181.29 mg·g. -1 Under treatment 4 (N1P2K3Cu1Mo2B3), the soluble sugar content in Pinellia ternata was the highest, at 65.54 mg / g. -1 .

Filter through a 0.22 µm microporous membrane to obtain the test solution.
[0039] Linearity assessment: Accurately pipette the prepared mixed standard solution and inject 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 μL of the mixed reference standard under the chromatographic conditions described in 1.3.3 to determine the peak area. Plot the concentration of each standard as the abscissa (x) and the peak area as the ordinate (y) to perform a linear regression equation, as shown in Table 6.

The citric acid content in Pinellia ternata reached 1.45 mg / g under both treatments. -1 The difference between the two is not significant. P <0.05), compared to other treatments, the differences between the two were statistically significant ( P <0.05), treatments 2 and 3 were both high-molybdenum treatments, and the high concentration of molybdenum may have promoted the increase of citric acid content in Pinellia ternata.

[0047] A reasonable combination of elements can significantly increase the chemical composition content of Pinellia ternata.

[0048] 1.4 Data Analysis Microsoft Office Excel 2019 was used for data processing; SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis and variance analysis, SPSSAU was used for data standardization, and then entropy-weighted TOPSIS analysis was performed; Graphpad was used for graphing.
[0049] Different element combinations were used as groups, and the yield, characteristics, nutrients (total protein, starch, soluble sugar), and chemical composition (nucleosides, organic acids, alkaloids) of Pinellia ternata were used as evaluation indicators. All 16 indicators were evaluated based on their magnitude. Weights were calculated and analyzed using normalization (see Table 9). The top five weighted indicators were adenosine > succinic acid > inosine > thymidine > alkaloids.
[0050] Table 9 Summary of weight calculation results using the entropy method The evaluation results in Table 10 show that treatments 4 (N1P2K3Cu1Mo2B3), 6 (N1P3K3Cu2Mo1B2), and 14 (N3P1K3Cu2Mo2B1) ranked highly overall. A common feature of these three treatments is their high potassium content, specifically 31.05 g of potassium sulfate per square meter. Therefore, it is inferred that potassium is a key element affecting the yield and quality of Pinellia ternata, and it is recommended that the potassium application rate for Pinellia ternata germplasm in Gansu Province be 310.5 kg·hm². -2 The optimal element combination is No. 4 (N1P2K3Cu1Mo2B3), which is to apply 18.70g of urea, 319.20g of superphosphate, 31.05g of potassium sulfate, 2000 times dilution of EDTA chelated copper (copper content >15%), 500 times dilution of disodium tetraborate tetrahydrate (boron content >20.5%), and 500 times dilution of sodium molybdate (molybdenum content >39%) per square meter.
[0051] Table 10 TOPSIS Evaluation Calculation Results Since a single indicator cannot adequately measure the optimal nitrogen application treatment, an entropy-weighted TOPSIS model is introduced to comprehensively evaluate each treatment group. This invention employs an orthogonal experimental design to study the effects of macronutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium combined with micronutrients copper, boron, and molybdenum on Pinellia ternata. Entropy-weighted TOPSIS analysis was performed on a total of 16 indicators (yield, traits, nutrients (total protein, starch, soluble sugar), and chemical components (nucleosides, organic acids, alkaloids)). The results showed that potassium is the key element affecting the yield and quality of Pinellia ternata, and a potassium application rate of 310.5 kg·hm² is recommended for germplasm Pinellia ternata in Gansu Province. -2 The optimal combination of elements is to apply 18.70g of urea, 319.20g of superphosphate, 31.05g of potassium sulfate, 2000 times dilution of EDTA chelated copper (copper content >15%), 500 times dilution of disodium tetraborate tetrahydrate (boron content >20.5%), and 500 times dilution of sodium molybdate (molybdenum content >39%) per square meter.
