Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the selection of the environment for the cultivation of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Mey.) under forest canopy, the selection and planning of forest land, the preparation of forest land, the selection of seeds and seedlings, sowing and transplanting, management during the growth period, harvesting, transportation and storage, file management, and product traceability. This document applies to the entire process of ginseng cultivation under forest canopy; Main technical content: 5. Environment selection 5.1 The geographical location should be selected within the Fusong area of the Changbai Mountains, with an altitude of 400 m to 1,100 m and a forest coverage rate of over 70%, located between 127°1′E and 128°03′E and 41°42′N to 42°45′N. 5.2 Climate conditions: A temperate continental monsoon climate with an effective accumulated temperature of 1,300°C to 2,400°C, an annual average temperature of -0.1°C to 6°C, an annual rainfall of 500 mm to 1,300 mm, and a frost-free period of 90 days to 130 days. The total annual sunshine duration is 2,000 hours to 2,300 hours. 5.3 Air quality should meet the requirements of GB 3095. 5.4 Water quality should meet the requirements of GB 5084 and GB 14848. 5.5 Soil: For ecological cultivation and simulated wild cultivation of ginseng under forest canopy, the natural forest soil of dark brown soil should be selected, with a humus layer of about 10 cm in the topsoil, a sandy loam layer in the middle layer, and a loess parent material in the bottom layer. The soil should have strong water permeability, good physical and chemical properties, an organic matter content of more than 5%, a bulk density of less than 0.8, and a pH value of 5.5 to 6.5. The soil should meet the Second-Class Standards of Soil Environmental Quality (GB 15618). 6. Site planning 6.1 Simulated wild cultivation (forest-ginseng intercropping): Select natural forests with trees over 30 years old, a slope of 15° to 30°, and intact natu
