Objective: To make full use of limited land resources by comparing different plantling patterns of Cyathulae Radix. Method: Three plantling patterns were selected

such as rotation cropping (previous plant was Coptidis Rhizoma)

continuous cropping (previous plant was Cyathulae Radix) and ordinary planting pattern (no previous plant).Emergence time

plant growth and disease of Cyathulae Radix in different plantling patterns were compared. Result: There was no significant difference between rotation cropping and normal planting patterns on emergence time

plant growth and two main kinds of disease (white rust and root knot nematode)

but these two patterns were better than that of continuous cropping pattern. Conclusion: Rotation planting pattern can be used in Cyathulae Radix and Coptidis Rhizoma.
