ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the artificial planting technique of Centella asiatica. Methods: The yield and the total content of asiaticoside and madecassoside in C.asiatica were used as evaluating indicators. And the influences of different factors such as soil type, planting density, base fertilizer, fertilization, and shading degree on planting effect were investigated. Results: C.asiatica was suitable to be planted in peat soil/perlite (1∶1), the planting density was 20 cm × 20 cm, the base fertilizer was organic fertilizer/ compound fertilizer (1∶1) and its consumption was 7.5 g/m2, urea (18 g/m2) was applied after 4 months and compound fertilizer (45 g/m2) was applied after 5 months, the appropriate shading degree was 75%. Conclusion: The research results could be used to establish the GAP planting base of C.asiatica.
