Evaluation of Main Agronomic Traits in Four Different Leaf Types Pinellia ternata

[Objective] To provide theoretical and experimental basis for the culturing and production of Pinellia ternata.[Method] From the aspects of single plant leaf area and fresh storage weight,agronomic traits of 4 kinds of Pinellia ternata were investigated.[Result] The results showed in these four kinds of Pinellia ternata the unit leaf area and fresh storage weight of peach leaf type and bamboo leaf type are higher,which is 108.457 mg/cm2,106.757 mg/cm2 respectively;and that of herbaceous peony leaf type and double bulblets leaf type are lower,which is 57.991 and 44.859 mg/cm2 respectively.[Conclusion] The results demonstrate that the photosynthesis products were accumulated effectively in peach leaf type Pinellia ternata and bamboo leaf type Pinellia ternata.
