麻黄(Ephedra sinica)也称草麻黄,为麻黄科草本状小灌木,全草可入药,草内含麻黄碱、伪麻黄碱等多种生物碱,麻黄全草入药有发汗、平喘、止咳、利尿等功能,根具止汗功能,由于其药用价值较高,造成对天然麻黄多年来的过度采割,使天然麻黄分布面积急剧减少,产量也急速下降,远不能满足市场的要求,近几年,随着麻黄制品需求量的增加和天然麻黄的减少,部分地区开始人工栽培麻黄。在措施得当的前提下,人工种植的麻黄一般三年后亩收益可达到1000元以上,且一次投入,多年受益,具有极高的经济、生态和社会效益。由于其它栽培方式在大面积生产上还存在一些问 Ephedra sinica also known as Ephedra, Ephedra Herbaceous shrubs, the whole plant can be used as medicine, grass containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and other alkaloids, ephedra whole plant medicine with sweating, asthma, cough, diuretic, etc. Function, root antiperspirant function, due to its high medicinal value, resulting in over-harvesting of natural ephedra over the years, the rapid decline in the distribution of natural ephedra, the output has dropped rapidly, far from meeting the requirements of the market, in recent years , With the increase in demand for ephedra products and the reduction of natural ephedra, ephedra began artificial cultivation in some areas. Under the premise of proper measures, artificial planting of ephedra generally yields more than 1,000 yuan after three years, and once invested, for many years to benefit, with high economic, ecological and social benefits. As other cultivation methods in large-scale production there are still some questions
