Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural equipment, and more specifically, to a high-efficiency ridging device for intercropping medicinal herbs under forest canopy. Background Technology

[0002] Intercropping medicinal herbs under forest cover refers to planting medicinal herbs in forests that require either high or low light conditions in order to make full use of land resources and increase economic benefits.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as Bletilla striata, Coptis chinensis, Polygonatum sibiricum, Codonopsis pilosula, and Artemisia argyi prefer cool, humid environments and are susceptible to frost, drought, high temperatures, and waterlogging. Intercropping medicinal herbs under forest can fully utilize forest space and resources, improve forest resource utilization, increase the ecological and economic value of forest land, improve the quality of medicinal herbs through this semi-wild cultivation model, alleviate pressure on land resources to some extent, improve land use efficiency, and increase the economic income of medicinal herb farmers.

[0004] When intercropping medicinal herbs under forest canopies, it is important to consider local climate conditions, soil texture, and forest canopy density when selecting the species to be intercropped, and to make reasonable combinations based on the actual situation. Furthermore, during the planting process, it is necessary to pay attention to reasonable crop rotation, maintain appropriate plant and row spacing, and strengthen management measures to ensure the yield and quality of the medicinal herbs.

[0005] Because the space for intercropping medicinal herbs under the forest is small and the spacing between trees is uncertain, a ridging device with a small operating space is required.

[0006] Existing ridging devices simply turn over the soil in front of them, but they lack a mechanism to easily break up the soil clods. Moreover, specialized equipment is required for ridging after turning over the soil, which is very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention
