Effects of Seeding Rate and Light on the Seed Yield and Bioactive Ingredient Contents of Vernonia anthelmintica

[Objectives]This study was conducted to investigate the effects of seeding rate and light on the seed yield and active ingredients of Vernonia anthelmintica.[Methods]With V.anthelmintica L.Willd as the research object,the seed yield was determined by staged harvesting combined with the actual cutting and measuring method;and the caffeoylquinic acids(CQA)were used as the characterization indexes,and high performance liquid chromatography was used to determine the contents of 3,4-CQA,3,5-CQA and 4,5-CQA of V.anthelmintica seeds under different seeding rate+light treatments,so as to compare the changes in seed yield and chemical composition of V.anthelmintica under different seeding rates and light factors.[Results]In Moyu County,Hetian and similar areas,the suitable planting rate of V.anthelmintica was in the range of 13.5-15.0 kg/hm^(2).For different harvesting purposes,the optimal seeding rate and light conditions of V.Anthelmintica were different.[Conclusions]The seeding rate and light conditions can be used to interfere with the seed yield and quality of V.anthelmintica.

Effect of Sowing Rate,Fertilizer Amount and Light on Yield of Cichorum glandulosum Boiss. Et Huet.

[Objectives]This study aimed to investigate the effect of sowing rate,fertilizer amount and light on yield of Cichorium glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.[Methods]The Latin square design was adopted to investigate the effect of sowing rate+fertilizer amount,sowing rate+light on root and seed yield of C.glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.The changes in the seed and root yield of C.glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.under the influence of sowing rate,N application rate and light were compared and analyzed.[Results]In Moyu,Hotan and similar areas,the suitable sowing rate of C.glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.was 4.5-15.0 kg/ha.Without applying fertilizer,if the main purpose is to harvest the roots,the sowing rate of C.glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.is recommended to be 7.5-15.0 kg/ha;and if the main purpose is to harvest the seeds,the sowing rate is recommended to be 4.5-7.5 kg/ha.Shading will affect the root and seed yield.At the fertilizer amount of 450 kg/ha,the optimal sowing rate of C.glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.is 4.5 kg/ha.[Conclusions]This study provides a certain reference basis for artificial cultivation of C.glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.
