In recent months, the author has been receiving numerous inquiries from readers about cultivating medicinal herbs. Many of these questions are similar: which herbs are easy to grow, which require minimal investment, and which thrive during the summer and autumn seasons? To address these concerns, based on practical farming experience and current trends in the pharmaceutical market, the author has selected five medicinal herbs suitable for cultivation in Hunan during the warmer months. These herbs are low-cost, high-yield, and easy to manage, making them ideal choices for both new and experienced growers.
Achyranthes (Niuxi) has seen a significant increase in its market value in recent years. It is one of the few medicinal plants recommended by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine for development. This herb can be grown in sandy loam, red loam, or sandy soil. Seeds are sown between June and July, and the roots are harvested after approximately five months. The cost per mu includes around 310 yuan for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. The annual yield ranges from 350 to 400 kg per mu, with a current market price of 12–13 yuan per kilogram. A labor force managing 9–10 acres is appropriate for this crop.
Hedyotis (Baihuashen) is a dual-purpose medicinal herb used for its fruits. Due to a growing demand and limited supply, its price has steadily increased, offering good potential for farmers. It does not require strict soil conditions and can be sown directly in June or July. Harvesting occurs within 4–5 months. The cost per mu is about 280 yuan, with an annual yield of 300–350 kg per mu. The market price is currently 9–10 yuan per kilogram. Managing 12–13 acres of land is feasible for a single labor force.
Radix Isatidis (Banlangen) is widely used for its roots and leaves, and it's one of the largest medicinal herb categories. Due to insufficient supply, there's a strong need for increased production. It can be planted in various soils and requires sowing between June and October. Roots are ready for harvest after about six months, and the plant can be grown continuously. The input cost per mu is approximately 270 yuan, with a root yield of 300–350 kg and 200–230 kg of Daqingye (leaf). The market price for roots is 8–9 yuan, while leaves sell for 3–3.5 yuan. A labor force managing 9–10 acres is ideal.
Nepeta (Jingjie) is not only used as a medicinal herb but also has wide applications in the chemical and feed industries. With declining wild resources, its market price has risen steadily. It adapts well to different soils and can be sown directly or using a drill. Planting takes place between June and September, and the entire growth cycle lasts 80–90 days, allowing for multiple harvests. The cost per mu is about 190 yuan, with an annual yield of 250–300 kg of grass and 50–60 kg of spikes. The market price for the whole plant is 6–7 yuan, while the spikes sell for 20–22 yuan. Managing 15 mu of land is suitable for a single worker.
Plantain (Cheqianzi) is used in traditional medicine and has seen a surge in demand due to increased use in prescription drugs and pharmaceutical exports. As wild resources dwindle, prices have continued to rise, making it a promising crop. It grows well in various soils and can be sown directly or transplanted. Planting occurs between August and October, with harvesting taking place within five months. The cost per mu includes 220 yuan for seeds, fertilizers, and other inputs. The annual yield is 200–250 kg per mu, with a current market price of 11–12 yuan per kilogram. Managing 15 mu of land is appropriate for a single labor force.
