Studies on Ecoenvironment and Chemico-Physical Characteristic of Soil for the Growth of Dwarf Lilyturf(Ophiopogon japonicus) / 中草药

Ideal ecological condition for the growth of Ophiopogon japonicus(L. f) Ker-Gawl. is a warm and moist environment. It is generally planted along the banks of Fujing River,460～520m above sea level. The best soil will be brown and sandy with complicated parent material,rich in mineral,calcium and organic matters,neutral and vivid with bacterial activity. It has a deep soil horizon,shallow water level,loosely composed on the surface while tightly beneath,good permeation for both air and water. Such a concert among soil,water,air,heat and manure will result in a high yield of the plant to satisfy the demand of high quality product.
