    Recently, the reporter learned from Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County that the county will carry out free technical training for large-scale Artemisia cultivation households to improve the artemisinin content of artificial cultivation Youyang is located in the hinterland of Wuling mountains Its unique topography and climate are conducive to the growth and artemisinin synthesis of Artemisia annua According to the test, the artemisinin content in Youyang Artemisia annua leaves is more than twice the national average level According to the investigation of experts, Artemisia annua is suitable for artificial cultivation in the yellow soil below 800 meters above sea level in 39 towns of Youyang There are 1.75 million mu of arable land in the county, and the arable land suitable for Artemisia annua is about 45000-500000 mu "To develop Artemisia annua in Youyang, we must strengthen the artificial planting technology." The head of Youyang County Agriculture Committee said that the Artemisia annua planted by an expert in the experimental field can produce 180 kg of dry Artemisia annua leaves per mu, and the artemisinin content in the Artemisia annua leaves is more than 10 ‰ However, the planting technology studied by experts has taken samples in the promotion process, and the artemisinin content has also decreased The key to solve the problem is to let farmers master the technology and standardize the planting As a result, the county will provide free technical training to the large planting households, so that they can accurately master the planting technology and improve the content of artemisinin in artificial planting At the same time, the county will also invest 150 million yuan to move to Huawu pharmaceutical factory as a whole, forming a production capacity of 35 tons of artemisinin, 35 tons of artemisinin derivatives, 3 million bottles of syrup, 12 million tablets of Western medicine, and building the world's largest artemisinin API production base According to reports, at present, Youyang has built a core base of Artemisia annua, covering an area of 120000 mu, developed four artemisinin drugs, such as artemisinin, artemether, dihydroartemisinin, artesunate, and two new production lines of diosgenin.
