Abstract: It was a long term to complete a production cycle of Fritillaria cirrhosa and the management was challenging. Techniques in several key links of the cultivation process were summarized in this paper. Firstly, seed propagation could help to obtain a large quantity of bulbs rapidly. High-quality protective seed spot was necessary because of the small size of 1-2-year-old bulbs. Seed spot providing proper medium, temperature and humidity could avoid low success rate in field seed propagation. Secondly, taking advantage of the difference of growth cycle between Gramineae and Fritillaria cirrhosa, weed control by black film covering could save labor and reduce harm to bulbs, resulting in well structured soil and promoted the growth next year. Thirdly, a comprehensive and prompt supply of fertilizers was important to the yield. The applying of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, especially the last one' was indispensable.
