Abstract

The study focuses on the effect of planting distance and amount of potassium fertilizer on yield and seed quality of Herba siegesbeckiae. The experiment was designed in split-plot with 9 treatments and 3 replicates, of which the planting distance factor is the large plot and the fertilizer factor is the small plot with the corresponding symbols: K1: Plant distance 40 cm x 40 cm, K2: Plant distance 40 cm x 50 cm, K3: Plant distance 40 cm x 60 cm, P1: Applying 30 kg K2O /ha, P2: Applying 40 kg K2O/ha, P3: Applying 50 kg K2O /ha. The research results showed that the growth, development and seed yield indicators, the germination rate of hydrangea seeds tended to increase. The interaction between the planting distance of 40 cm x 50 cm and the amount of potassium fertilizer 50 kg K2O/ha gave the best growth and development parameters, the actual yield ranged from 1.53 to 1.78 quintals/ha, and the germination rate of seeds reached 85%, higher than other formulas at the significant probability level with LSD0.05.
