Effect of Transplanting Dates and Density on Dry Root Yield in Alisma plantago Cultivated after Early Maturing Rice Cropping

The result of this experiment which are conducted, to improve the cultivation technology of Alisma plantago, to increase its quantity and to contribute for stable production with Yongjun local group by examining the optimal planting density and transplanting period of double cropping of Alisma plantago in the southern region. The characters of plant height, leaf width and length tend to be reduced as the seeding period is later by the order of the 10th, 20th and 30th of July. The period required for flowering is reduced as the transplanting period is later and dense planting is applied. Plant height, the number of leaves and yield of dry root have much quantity at the dense planting density of 20 x 15cm as they are transplanted later in the 30th of August or the 10th of September, but they are rather less in sparse planting density of 20 x 25cm or 20 x 35cm.
