T/HTCMA 075-2022
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: Gardenia originated in central China and is widely cultivated around the world. The cultivation of Gardenia in China has a history of more than 2,000 years. Henan is a traditional production area of Gardenia. Tanghe County is located in the transition zone between the Nanyang Basin and the foothills of Tongbai Mountain. The surface of the land is barren and the vegetation is poor, but the sunshine is sufficient, which is very suitable for the growth of Gardenia and is known as the "Hometown of Gardenia in China". The "Tang Gardenia" produced there is of high quality and excellent texture, and is one of the "Eight Great Wan Medicines". On July 29, 2005, the former State Administration for Quality Supervision and Inspection approved the registration and protection of "Tang Gardenia" as a geographical indication product. However, due to factors such as cultivation techniques and ecological environment, the quality of Tang Gardenia has been uneven. Therefore, it is very necessary to compile the "Techical Guidelines for the Cultivation of Tang Gardenia" to guide the standardized planting of Tang Gardenia, which is conducive to giving full play to the advantages of the production area and ensuring the quality and safety of Tang Gardenia medicinal materials. The production technical guidelines listed in this document are applicable to the production of Tang Gardenia in Tanghe County, Henan Province, southern Henan, and other ecologically similar production areas can also refer to it in accordance with the actual situation of the production area.
