Abstract

In recent years, the domestic and international market demand for Bletilla striata has increased rapidly because of its wide use in medical, pharmaceutical, chemical, health, cosmetology, and other fields. The increased demand and a shortage of wild herbal resources have led to the development of large-scale introduction and cultivation programs. Using our research results and the relevant literature, this paper characterizes the original B. striata plant, as well as seedling propagation techniques and its main cultivation modes, and discusses some problems in the B. striata production process. This work will provide a reference for industry development and the promotion of B. striata.
