In recent years, there are more and more manufacturers developing gastrodia elata food, gastrodia elata beverage, gastrodia elata health products, gastrodia elata medicinal food and gastrodia elata drugs at home and abroad, which need a lot of supply. Most countries in the world do not produce gastrodia elata, but only import it from China. Therefore, it has brought great business opportunities to the cultivation of gastrodia elata. It is predicted that there will be no shortage of sales in the next 10 year, but the price will rise steadily. 2. Gastrodia elata has no roots and green leaves in the suitable planting area, so it can't make nutrition through photosynthesis, but grows with Armillaria mellea, and relies on Armillaria mellea to provide nutrition for the growth of Gastrodia elata. Gastrodia elata doesn't need sunlight. As long as the temperature (below the surface 15 ~ 28℃) and humidity (50% ~ 65%) are properly managed, it can grow normally from planting to harvesting, and it doesn't need fertilization, weeding and spraying pesticides, so it doesn't compete with crops for land, fertilizer and nutrition, which is the highest return rate in planting projects. No matter in mountainous areas, plains, villages and cities, we can adopt the method of planting gastrodia elata and Armillaria mellea simultaneously indoors and outdoors, in fields or balconies, in corridors, caves, tunnels, air-raid shelters and barren hills and wasteland, or plant them in a industrialized, modernized, standardized and industrialized way. The raw materials are FAGACEAE, betulaceae, Rosaceae, Leguminosae and other tree species without aromatic oil, such as Cyclobalanopsis, Oak, Betula platyphylla, Watermelon, Cherry Tree, Albizia Albizia Tree, Chestnut Tree, Sophora japonica Tree, Poplar Tree, Elm Tree, Willow Tree and various fruit trees, and their trunks, branches and leaves can be used for planting Gastrodia elata. The fresh stem (short for fresh branch) and fresh branch are sawed into wood segments and branches respectively, and planted with leaves in synchronization with Armillaria species, Gastrodia elata species and river sand (or sandy soil). In the natural season, winter seeds can be harvested in 1 1 month to the following year 1 month and 9 ~1/month. Plant in February-May in spring and harvest in 6-8 months. 1 m2 can produce fresh gastrodia elata about 10 kg. According to the purchase price of 2065,438+00, the fresh gastrodia elata is calculated according to the lowest price of 30 yuan/kg of 30 ~ 40 yuan per kg, which is worth 300 yuan. The harvested gastrodia elata can be used as gastrodia elata seeds to continue planting. 1 After introduction, it can be planted circularly for 2 ~ 3 years. Three. Economic benefit of gastrodia elata planting 1 m2 70 yuan required for gastrodia elata and Armillaria mellea, 33kg fresh stick is about 10 yuan (of which 30kg thick stick is about 4-8 cm in diameter and 3kg twig is about 2-3 cm in diameter), and 0.25m3 clean medium-fine river sand 10 yuan (sandy soil can also replace river sand, if the output is based on fresh, If fresh gastrodia elata is made into dried products (the dry rate is 4-4.5:1), the lowest market price of dried gastrodia elata is 160 yuan/kg at present, and the output value can reach above 300 yuan. After deducting the cost of 80 yuan and artificial 80 yuan, the net income of 1 m2 is 150 yuan. Then, gastrodia elata was planted on 1 mu (667 square meters), and the actual planting area was 500 square meters, with a net income of more than 75,000 yuan. This is the income of commodity gastrodia elata calculated by conservative output. If calculated according to the price of commodity gastrodia elata and gastrodia elata seeds together, its income will be higher than 1 times. Because 1 m2 produces fresh gastrodia elata 10 kg, the commercial fresh gastrodia elata accounts for 70%, about 7 kg. According to the lowest market price of 30 yuan/kg, 30 yuan× 7 = 210 yuan; Gastrodia elata, the first generation of Gastrodia elata, accounts for 30% and weighs about 3 kg. According to the lowest market price of 80 yuan/Jin, 80 yuan× 3 = 240 yuan; 2 10 yuan +240 yuan =450 yuan, 450 yuan-150 yuan =300 yuan, followed by 300 yuan. This is the cost estimate for the first year. The characteristics of gastrodia elata planting are: the cost is high in the first year, because everything has to be bought, so the investment is relatively high. The maximization of its benefits began to appear in the second year. If production continues in the second year, gastrodia elata seeds need not be bought. Armillaria mellea will be replaced with old fungus materials, which can save half of the sticks (or cultivate themselves) and the used sand can be reused. In this way, the cost of the second year is only the cost of fresh sticks, labor costs and other expenses. Therefore, the cost is greatly reduced and the benefit can be increased by more than 10 times. 1 m2, 3 kg of first-generation gastrodia elata seeds can be planted for 5 ~ 6 m2. Four.
