An Intelligent Hydroponic Device for Astragalus membranaceus Bge. var. mongolicus (Bge.) Hsiao

Astragalus membranaceus Bge. var. mongolicus (Bge.) Hsiao roots are widely used as raw materials of medicine. Due to the limited arable land, cultivating medicinal plants hydroponically is increasingly concerned. However, whether the quality of A. membranaceus grown hydroponically is better than tha...
