The study aimed to understand how cultivating density and seed stock affect the yield and volatile oil in Curcuma wenyujin, providing guidance for standardized farming practices.
Utilizing statistical analysis through SPSS, the researchers evaluated the harvest yield and volatile oil content from different medicinal parts.
Results showed that higher cultivating density significantly impacted yields, with seed stock affecting certain parts of the plant; however, the interaction between density and seed stock had minimal effect overall.
The study aimed to analyze the growth characteristics of Curcuma wenyujin to support the production of high-quality medicinal materials.
Researchers observed plant morphology and measured the volatile oil and dry matter content in leaves, rhizomes, and roots at different growth stages.
The findings revealed five growth stages and indicated that the optimal harvest time is mid-December, as this is when both dry matter accumulation in the rhizome and volatile oil content peak.
