Abstract:
Objective: Taking the Hedysari Radix cultivated in different regions in Gansu province and its soil as the research objects, the correlation of contents between soil nutrients, including total N, total P, total K, organic matter, available P, available K, calycosin. and formononetin in Hedysari Radix were analyzed in this paper. Methods: The correlations of the contents between soil nutrients and active components were analyzed by the multiple comparisons, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Results: The statistical results showed that there existed obviously positive correlations between calycosin and the contents of total N and total K of soil. Calycosin is positively correlated with the contents of organic matter and available P, while with available K and total P, it is negatively correlated. Meanwhile the contents of formononetin and total K existed significantly positive correlations. Formononetin was positively correlated with the contents of total N and available P, but it was negatively correlated with available K, organic matter, and total P. Conclusion: When the plant grows, it absorbs some ingredients of soil selectively. The accumulations of calycosin and formononetin are affected by the contents of total K, total N, and available P, which shows that the soil with higher total K, total N, and available P is conducive to the growth of Hedysari Radix.
