The invention discloses a method of the update of fixed cured natural licorice root in arid desert area. The method comprises the steps of 1, selection of update area; 2, selection of the implementation time of update project; 3, prognosis of the growing trend of licorice root, selection of reasonable cured parts; 4, backfill extension. The update method has the advantages that, in comparison with the old annular furrow update method, regulations are provided for the implementation time of the update project, construction in the windy season is prevented, the burying of curing holes by sand is prevented, the destruction of the favorable conditions of licorice root cured sprouting seedling is kept away; at the same time, the formation of new sand source due to human destabilization of soil is prevented, windy season is avoided, the wind erosion and the amount of wind carrying sand are subsided; the update location is selectively determined, the density of licorice is wisely controlled; the work amount of the method is reduced by 57% or above compared with the update of the annular groove, manpower and material resources are economized. The method of the update of fixed cured natural licorice root in arid desert area is simple and easy, quick and effective, and is very practical and operable.
