The growth adaptability of Astragalus adsurgens was studied in Nyingchi County of Tibet Autonomous Region by investigating the sowing date,seedling emergence rate,winter surviving rate,number of branches and plant height.The results showed that the suitable sowing date was from late April to early May.The seedling emergence rate was between 50% and 70%,the time required for seedling emergence was 10~20 days.The performance in terms of overwintering rate,branch number and plant height was good.The plant height and ground diameter showed a polynomial function relationship.The aboveground biomass was low in first year,and it rapidly increased in the second year.This study provides basic information for the introduction and production of A.adsurgens in plateau area.
