fruit tree seedling raising can be carried out by both cutting and grafting and seed seedling raising. However, in order to ensure that fruit trees maintain excellent genetic genes, it is best to use the method of cutting and grafting to propagate, but for cultivating some new varieties of seedlings, the method of seed sowing and seedling raising can also be used.
second, tips for rapid rooting and high survival rate of fruit tree seedlings
In order to promote the rapid rooting of seedlings, improve the survival rate of seedlings and enhance the physiological resistance of seedlings, most people may choose to use rooting powder and rooting agent when raising seedlings. The old farmer said, "Rooting powder and rooting agent can effectively regulate the growth of root system and save a lot of management time, but there are many kinds of rooting powder and rooting agent sold in the market now, and the quality is not guaranteed. Moreover, if you raise seedlings in large quantities, you need to buy them in large quantities. Although the price is not expensive, the quantity is very large and you need a lot of investment. In addition, if these rooting agents or rooting powder are not used properly, it will often cause fruit trees to grow roots but not fruit in the later stage, and even cause premature aging of fruit trees.
According to his own experience, the old farmer gave several low-cost and effective rooting tips:
1. Rooting method with rice vinegar solution: mix rice vinegar with water at a ratio of 1∶1 to prepare a solution, and soak the cuttings in the solution for about 1 hours, which can greatly improve the survival rate of cutting seedlings and make the cutting seedlings grow faster and stronger; This method is suitable for soaking cuttings of fruit trees such as grapes.
2. Aspirin solution rooting method: soaking cuttings with .1% aspirin solution can significantly improve the germination rate; Soaking transplanted seedlings with .5% aspirin solution can greatly shorten the slow seedling stage, prevent seedlings from drying up and improve the survival rate of seedlings.
3. Rooting method with vitamin B12 solution: diluted with medical vitamin B12 injection and cold boiled water for 1 time, and soaked the lower part of cuttings in the solution for 5 minutes before cutting, which can obviously promote the root growth of seedlings and promote tissue healing in seedlings.
4. Rooting method with soaking solution of willow branches: tender willow branches are cut into short branches by removing leaves, soaked for 1 days according to the ratio of 1 kg of willow branches and .75-1 kg of clear water, then the willow branches are taken out, and then the cuttings are soaked in the soaking solution of willow branches for 5 hours before cutting. Generally, the cutting seedlings can take root quickly in about a week, which not only has a high survival rate, but also grows stronger.
5. Sucrose solution rooting method: the sucrose is washed into a solution of about 1% with boiling water, and after cooling, the bottom of the difficult-to-root fruit tree cuttings is soaked in it for 5 hours before cutting, which also has a very significant rooting effect. Note that if it is a cutting with slow rooting, the concentration of sugar solution can be doubled appropriately. The higher the concentration of sugar solution, the shorter the soaking time.
In addition, if you want to cultivate fruit tree seedlings well, you must first do a good job of rooting seedlings. If you want to root seedlings quickly and well, you should also do a good job in the preparatory work of collecting, storing, splicing, soil preparation and so on. According to the types of seedlings you want to cultivate and the situation of cutting cuttings, you should adopt the correct cutting grafting method according to the local conditions to ensure that every fruit tree seedling will not have problems.
