As the saying goes, "Mother Taro, good to plant a good seedling." The seeds in the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines are the key. With good seedlings, it can be ensured that high yields, high quality, and safe and effective use of drugs are available. Therefore, seeds and seedlings must first be carefully identified to distinguish between the authenticity and the merits. For the long-standing existence of the traditional Chinese medicine with the same name, the name of the same drug, the name of the drug between the North and the South and the different names of ethnic groups must be carefully examined. There are also new seeds and germination rates that must be measured and tested in order to ensure good economic returns. The identification of seed and propagation material must be carried out in the following aspects: 1. The morphology of the seed. Each medicinal seed has its own form, color, and structure. Such as Ophiopogon as a spherical, Codonopsis is a flat spherical, brown, Astragalus seeds are kidney-shaped, yellow, Campanulaceae seeds oval, dark brown. Angelica, white peony seeds are double-hanging fruit, flat oval, with a flat-shaped wings, the back of the three sides of the angelica are not very prominent, smaller, and white positive three back prominent prominent, and larger than the Chinese angel species. Fritillaria species of bulbs 2 valves, 1 large and 1 small, with a small heart bud in the middle; soil Fritillaria planting a single block, fleshy; 2. Composition smell. White mustard seeds and yellow mustard seeds are rich in oil and have a spicy taste. Codonopsis pilosula, tasted delicious taste; 3. Purity. After removing the impurities and empty seeds, the ratio of the good seeds to the total weight determines whether they are good or not; 4. Dry grain weight (or 100-grain weight of large seeds). The 1000-grain weight of the seed of each medicinal plant is fixed, such as 9.5 g of 1000 seeds of rose seeds, 3.1 g of dried seeds of wind-proof seeds, and 178 g of 100-grain weight of litchi seeds. More or less shows that there is a problem; 5. Moisture content refers to the ratio of seeds containing water, have a great impact on the storage and transportation of seeds, germination. 6. Determination of germination rate. Generally, the small seeds are placed on an emery cloth or a filter paper, and fine sand is placed under the pad. The large seeds are directly put into the fine sand matrix and soaked at 40-45° C. for 24 hours and kept at a temperature of 20-24° C. to keep the wet culture. Percentage; 7. Some seeds have a ripening period, after treatment or emerged every other year. Some seeds such as ginseng, asarum, hawthorn, peony, etc., the embryos have not yet differentiated when the seeds are harvested, there is an after-ripening period, germination treatment must be carried out, or can be raised every other year. In addition, the vitality, yield, and quality of its seeds should be compared in the field, and the final identification and evaluation should be considered as excellent seeds. In short, high-quality seeds are the most basic materials for medicinal cultivation, and they are the fundamental guarantee for improving their yield and quality. The seeds with good quality refer to the correct species identification, consistent and pure seeds, fullness and integrity, no pests, high germination rate and vitality, and strong resistance to stress and disease. If necessary, it must be achieved through seed inspection. The country has special regulations for seed management. When purchasing and transporting, it should be quarantined by the seed quarantine department to prevent the seeds with pests and diseases from causing losses that are difficult to remedy, so as to ensure the economic benefits of planting medicinal herbs.
