中文摘要：

肉苁蓉是我国西部沙区特有的名贵药用植物。近年来，在经济利益的驱使下，人们无节制地采挖肉苁蓉致使其野生资源日趋枯竭。因此，人工种植已成为发展肉苁蓉生产和保护沙区生态的当务之急。参阅了大量相关研究成果，并结合多年从事沙产业开发的实践经验．对肉苁蓉人工种植技术进行了系统的、全面的总结，以期为今后肉苁蓉的产业化、规模化生产提供系统的、更有力的理论支持与技术保障。

英文摘要：

Cistanche deserticola is peculiar to western sandy areas as a kind of valuable medical plant. In recent years, driven by economic benefits the resource of native Cistanche deserticola is becoming exhausted increasingly because of immoderately excavation by people. Hence, artificial cultivation has been imperative for developing Cistanche deserticola production and protecting the ecological of sandy areas. We referred lots of research findings on the technology of artificial cultivation of Cistanche deserticola, combined with our practical experience in deserticulture for many years, and further summarized the technology of artificial cultivation of Cistanche deserticola systematically and fully, in the hope of providing more powerful theoretical and technical supports for industrialization and large-scale production of Cistanche deserticola in western sandy areas of China.
