Features: This book introduces many medicinal and edible ornamental plants that can both beautify the environment and generate economic income, serving as a reference for readers. It comprehensively elaborates on the medicinal, edible, and market analysis of these medicinal and edible vegetables, as well as their plant morphology, ecological habits, cultivation techniques, harvesting, and processing. To avoid economic losses due to planting, the authors believe that the following must be done before selecting and determining the planting varieties:
1. Investigate the market conditions of the plants being grown and master production and sales information;
2. Determine the planting varieties based on local conditions, considering human and material resources, land status, climate conditions, etc., to decide the planting area;
3. Carefully purchase high-quality seedlings and avoid being deceived;
4. Fully master the planting techniques, strengthen field management, prevent and control pests and diseases, and focus on the harvesting and processing links to improve the product's grade and sales price;
5. Closely monitor market conditions and avoid trusting false promises of "recoupment" and "buy-back" from some malicious advertisements, to prevent being deceived. If the above points are followed, growing medicinal and edible vegetables will yield good returns.
