Abstract:

Results of the Present paper show that the normal growth of Pinellia ternata requires the following three ecological Pre-requisites:warm climate (suitable temperatare is l0 ~ 27℃), higher soil humidity (suitable moisture content of the soil is about (20 ~22% ) and diffuse sunlight (light intensity is 3000 to 30000 lx ). However, bright light, higher temperature (> 35℃) and water-logging are harmful to its growth.

Key words: Rinella ternata, ecological Preretwsites, temperature, soil humidity, light intensity.
