Abstract:

The aim was to study the dry weight and stachyose alkali content of Leonurus Artemisia. This study determined and analyzed the dry weight and stachyose alkali content of Leonurus Artemisia, through collecting Leonurus Artemisia seeds (10 samples from Zhejiang province and 9 samples from other provinces) and planting these seeds in Lishui, Zhejiang province. The results showed that: the dry weight and stachyose alkali content of the Leonurus Artemisia samples from Liandu and surrounding areas of Lishui are significantly higher than that of other samples. As a result, the seeds should be collected locally considering the quality and productivity.
