Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of Solomon's seal cultivation technology, specifically to a treatment method for promoting rhizome growth during harvesting of Solomon's seal. Background Technology
[0002] Polygonatum yunnanense is a herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Polygonatum in the family Asparagaceae, and is a characteristic resource plant of Yunnan Province. Its main economic part is the stem tuber. Polygonatum yunnanense is a traditional resource that can be developed and utilized for both medicinal and edible purposes. Modern pharmacological research results show that it has good effects in lowering blood sugar, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, anti-exercise fatigue, and protecting the cardiovascular system.
[0003] In recent years, high market demand has led to excessive consumption of wild resources, resulting in widespread cultivation. Therefore, research into key technologies such as the cultivation of Polygonatum odoratum varieties, resource development, and precise harvesting is essential. Furthermore, with the increasing conversion of arable land to non-grain crops, and given the long cultivation and harvesting period of Polygonatum odoratum in Yunnan (Yunnan), improving its yield and quality is of paramount importance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a treatment method to promote rhizome growth during the harvesting of Polygonatum yunnanense.

[0017] S2-3. Press and filter the fermented material to separate the filter residue and filtrate. Dry the filter residue with microwave to obtain the fermented material of Commelina communis.
[0018] S2-4. Sterilize the filtrate at 120℃ for 15 minutes to obtain the fermented sterilized dayflower broth.
[0019] Preferably, in step S2-2, the inoculation amount of Nocardia lutea is 0.1%-0.3% of the total mass of the Commelina communis slurry, and the bacterial content of Nocardia lutea is 10. 8 -10 10 per g.
[0020] Preferably, the power of microwave drying in steps S2-3 is 280W.
[0021] Preferably, the amount of fertilizer applied to the roots in step S3 is 400-600 kg / mu, and the soil is thoroughly watered after fertilization.
[0022] Preferably, in step S3, fertilization is carried out in the evening when the ambient temperature is above 15℃, and at noon when the ambient temperature is below 15℃.

[0025] This invention provides a treatment method to promote rhizome growth during the harvesting of Polygonatum yunnanense, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0026] This invention uses biochar, manure, boiled straw, and fermented dayflower as a base fertilizer, and applies supplementary fertilizer starting in the autumn of the year before the harvest of Polygonatum yunnanense. This effectively promotes rapid root growth of Polygonatum yunnanense with a small amount of fertilizer, effectively promoting root enlargement and achieving high yield. Furthermore, the foliar fertilizer prepared by combining fermented and sterilized dayflower as a base fertilizer with ethyl isothiocyanate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, rice vinegar, and humic acid can effectively ensure the quality of the harvested Polygonatum yunnanense and comprehensively improve the economic benefits of artificial cultivation.

[0053] Table 1
[0054] Example 2
[0055] Field planting experiment of Polygonatum yunnanense:
[0056] 1. Test site:
[0057] A three-year-old *Polygonatum yunnanense* plantation in Weiyuan Town, Jinggu Dai and Yi Autonomous County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, was selected as the experimental site. The plantation was divided into seven planting areas, designated as Planting Area 1-7, with each area spaced 50-80 meters apart, maintaining a shading rate of 50%-60%.
[0058] 2. Experimental field management:
[0059] Different nutrient base fertilizers and foliar fertilizers were used to manage the fertilization of Polygonatum yunnanensis in various planting areas:
[0060] Nutrient base fertilizer (500 kg / mu) was applied to the roots of *Polygonatum yunnanense* in each planting area on September 10, 2024, December 27, 2024, April 6, 2025, and July 20, 2025, respectively. When the ambient temperature was above 15℃, fertilization was carried out in the evening, and when the ambient temperature was below 15℃, fertilization was carried out at noon. After fertilization, the soil was thoroughly watered.
[0061] Foliar fertilizer will be sprayed on each planting area of Polygonatum yunnanensis on March 12, 2025, April 25, 2025, June 20, 2025, July 30, 2025 and August 14, 2025 respectively (the amount of spraying should be such that the leaves are covered with water droplets but do not drip).
[0062] The specific selection of base fertilizer and foliar fertilizer for each planting area is shown in Table 2 below:
[0063] Table 2
[0064]
[0065] On September 12, 2025, the Yunnan Polygonatum was harvested in the field. Ten Yunnan Polygonatum plants were randomly selected from each planting area. The growth of the root tubers and the fresh weight of the harvested tubers were recorded in each planting area. The specific results are shown in Table 3 below:
[0066] Table 3
[0067]
[0068] As shown in the table above, the addition of boiled straw and fermented dayflower grass to the nutrient base fertilizer A used in planting area 1 significantly promoted the development of rhizomes of Polygonatum yunnanense and increased its yield. Comparative photos of harvested rhizomes from each group are shown below. Figure 1-6 As shown (larger pieces of tuber were selected from each plant for comparison).
[0069] The nutritional components (polysaccharide content, saponin content, and total flavonoid content) of the harvested Polygonatum yunnanense from each group were analyzed, and the specific results are shown in Table 4 below.
[0070] Table 4
[0071]
[0072] As shown in the table above, the quality of the Polygonatum yunnanense harvested in planting area 1 was the best. In planting area 6, the addition of ethyl isothiocyanate to the foliar fertilizer was reduced, resulting in a significant decrease in the final total flavonoid and saponin content compared to planting area 1.
[0073] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
