Abstract:

Kadsura coccinea has various values such as medicinal, edible, and ornamental uses, and is commonly cultivated in southern regions, but there has no reports on the introduction of K. coccinea in northern regions. To promote the introduction and cultivation of K. coccinea in central Shandong region, this article summarized the current status of domestic wild K. coccinea resource domestication, the breeding of superior varieties, and research on cultivation techniques. Through analysis of soil, moisture, light, temperature, and climatic adaptability, the feasibility of cultivating K. coccinea in central Shandong region was theoretically possible. It was proposed that the application of ecological cultivation model could theoretically achieve the introduction and cultivation of K. coccinea in the central Shandong region. To address the issue of sustainable industrial development after the introduction of K. coccinea, it is necessary to select varieties suitable for cultivation in the central Shandong region and promote cultivation techniques; to explore sales channels for K. coccinea to expand its medicinal, edible, and ornamental markets; and to strengthen the development and utilization of K. coccinea derivatives to enhance the added value of raw materials and industrial benefits.

Key words: Kadsura coccinea, introduction, central Shandong region, feasibility
