[Objectives] Aiming at the problems of high bolting rate, low yield and poor quality traits in the production of Angelica sinensis in Qinghai Province, this study investigated the effect of seeding quality on the growth, yield and quality of A. sinensis. [Methods] Field experiments were carried out in five aspects, including different seedling shapes, different seedling sizes, different seedling ages, different seedling raising methods, and different seedling sources. The effect of seedling quality on the survival rate, bolting rate, main quality traits (root length, root fresh weight, root head thickness, root head length) and yield of A. sinensis was investigated. [Results] The seedlings, 0.2-0.5 cm in diameter, 100 -110-d old, raised from three-year-old provenance in cultivated land by conventional method, were more preferable, and their survival rate was high, bolting rate was low, yield is high, and quality traits performed well. [Conclusions ] The seedlings, 0. 2 -0. 5 cm in diameter, 100 -110-d old, raised from three-year-old provenance in cultivated land by conventional method, were more preferable, and their survival rate was high, bolting rate was low, yield is high, and quality traits performed well.
