OBJECTIVETo develop technique of storing Coptis chinensis seeds in damp sand under shed and fine cultivation of seedling and to enhance the cultivation seedling rate from seeds of Coptis chinensis.

METHODSWith the old technique of seedling in woods as control, we screened the new method for storing seeds and cultivating seedlings.

RESULTSSeeds were picked up at May and stored in damp sand under shed until November, and then planted with technique of fine cultivation of seedling. The germination rate of seeds was up to 98%. One hundred and forty thousands seedlings could be getting from per kilogram seeds.

CONCLUSIONCompared to the old method of cultivating seedling in woods, the technique of fine cultivation of seedling significantly increased the rate of cultivation seedlings by 8 times. This technique has been widely applied.
