Licorice planting conditions

Glycyrrhiza sinensis grows in the north temperate zone, with plains, mountainous areas or rivers at an altitude of 0-200 meters. The growth has strong adaptability to temperature. The annual average temperature of adapting to the growing climate is 12 °C, and the accumulated temperature of ≥10 °C is 2800 °C - 3500C. The frost-free period is more than 150d. The average distribution of wild licorice is 3.5 ° C to 9.6 ° C, the lowest temperature is below -30 ° C, and the highest temperature is 38.4 ° C. The adaptability to the soil is relatively strong, and the requirements for soil quality are not strict. Whether it is sandy soil, heavy soil and clay licorice can grow, licorice can also grow on saline, wasteland, and two tides. Licorice is more resistant to salt and alkali, and wild licorice is mostly distributed in neutral and alkaline soils with a pH of 7.0-8.5, and it is poorly grown in acidic soils. Licorice has strong drought tolerance. Licorice is a deep-rooted plant with a strong root and a developed root system. It can often penetrate below 3.5m underground, so it has a strong ability to resist drought.
