The research analyzed the effect of different elements on soft-wood cutting of Atractylodes macrocephala.The experiment was studied by L9 (3(4)) orthogonal design with 3 factors and 3 levels. The research confirmed the best project of soft-wood cutting of Atractylodes macrocephala by using variance analysis and line grading law.The maximum livability and rooting rate were both 86.67% when it was treated with GuoGuangShengGen of 2,000 mg/L, 20 s, the ratio of turf to perlite was 1:3 and the matrix was the most favourable rate of soft-wood cutting of Atractylodes macrocephala.This method can improve Atractylodes macrocephala cutting suruival rate and provide the theoretical basis for cutting.
